ESPN Buys Torrance Business
ESPN said Thursday that it had agreed to purchase Student Sports Inc., a Torrance-based high school-focused digital media and event production company.
The price was not divulged.
Student Sports was founded by Andy Bark, the company's president and CEO. Bark will continue with the company after the deal is completed.
Student Sports has been involved in producing high school sports content for 22 years. Its assets include StudentSports.com and DyeStat.com, and more than 160 events such as Elite 11, Area Code Baseball and Nike Combines/Nike SPARQ Mini Camps, all of which will be integrated into ESPN's recently announced high school initiative ESPN RISE.
