As recent headlines have shown, air lines are the first industry adopting rapid testing to reduce or eliminate the need for 14-day quarantine periods. The travel sector has realized that industries need to adopt technology that can allow them to safely reopen in order for economic recovery to start. Loop has been actively involved in many conversations with not only airports and airlines but has been busy adding it’s integrated lab testing applications to bolster existing NCAA contracts.
The NCAA comprises 1,268 American colleges and universities, representing a portion of the 19.9 million American students that attended college in 2019. In an effort to help reopen American classrooms and sports facilities, Loop Insights is working with Summit to offer its end-to-end COVID-19 mitigation solution. In 2019, the NCAA schools reported annual revenue of $18.9 billion, with $10.8 billion originating from its athletic department.
Lack of End-to-End COVID-19 Management Solutions Continues to Cause Event Cancellations
As first reported by CBS Sports Matt Norlander , athletic organizations, including ESPN have been unable to safely reopen sports leagues without a complete end-to-end COVID-19 solution due to inflexibility and complications around testing protocols.
“We’ve decided to redirect our efforts to be sure the teams have enough time to make other plans,” said Clint Overby, vice president of ESPN Events. “At the end of the day our bias was toward safety and making sure that what we pulled off was in the best interests of the sport. In the absence of those things, we decided we’re better off letting schools do their own thing.”
Loop Insights will continue to establish a highly scalable, safe, and secure process that NCAA schools and other organizations can adopt and rely on in order to safely host future tournaments and events with confidence. The company’s platform can integrate any third-party data, allowing its venue tracing platform to include various protocols or mandates set out by participants or facilities in order to provide a unified, end-to-end venue tracing solution. Together with Summit’s on-site lab and testing services, Loop Insights’ platform allows large organizations like the NCAA to reopen athletic and academic facilities by providing guests with rapid testing and real-time results.
Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated: “Our objective has always been to help our customers transform their business. We have the ability to integrate with any testing platform globally in order to deliver a true turn-key, end-to-end COVID-19 management solution. With Summit, we saw an opportunity to provide the infrastructure to implement safe venue tracing and testing protocols.”
NCAA Schools Provide Huge Growth Opportunity for Loop
Loop’s venue tracing platform generates revenue through a software as a service (SaaS) and a cost per user model, which will allow the NCAA to scale across campuses and facilities quickly. Loop Insights has also established a revenue-sharing model based on marketing and brand sponsorship dollars that are generated on the Loop platform for those in attendance or at home.
