In addition to Miami, other Nike Training Camp shows focus on University of North Carolina women’s soccer, Stanford women’s volleyball and Indiana, Maryland and Cincinnati men’s basketball. In addition to airing in standard definition on College Sports TV, the Nike Training Camp series is also presented in high-definition on iN DEMAND’s INHD network, which is devoted exclusively to high-definition programming.
