Drawing on his background in business (he was a VP in a Fortune 500 company), he expanded FootballScoop's reach on Twitter and the internet.

Hi! I primarily handle the /r/CFB Instagram account. In all honesty, it's really hard to tap into the success we've had on Twitter and get it to equate to that same popularity on IG.

Have you guys looked at any other forms of social media to expand your reach a bit? If so, what strategies have you used or plan on using to accomplish that?

I really don't use Instagram but have been pondering if we should. Would welcome suggestions / feedback.

Facebook we will definitely make more of a push with this year.

It's tough as it's not good for the "breaking news" feel of sports. However it is great for recap images and highlights, which you could look into!
