History
The Victory Sports Network was founded July 5, 2002 by Jason Dannelly to become a promoter of NAIA athletics. In the past years Dannelly has built very strong relationships with the NAIA member institutions and their coaches. Dannelly has published the only magazine dedicated to NAIA athletics, founded three major sports web sites, and produces weekly features on latest news of the NAIA. VSN currently produces the NAIA bracket announcements for NAIA Football and all divisions and genders of NAIA basketball.
In 2008, the network was purchased by
College Fanz Sports Network.
On July 23, 2010 the College Fanz Sports Network's role changed and control of VSN reverted to Jason Dannelly.
