I would recommend looking for the best and most compelling storytelling opportunities. Sometimes that may be game highlights or it may be a video to complement a story. Or it could be a video that just stands alone as it's own story. I'd also say try a bit of everything that makes sense for the Pio and see what kind of video users prefer.

Video from sporting events, especially small liberal arts colleges, would be more engaging if it were should interviews or clips of the highlights. With lectures, however, I could foresee instances in which the community might want to see the entire thing. You could even mash up the two by doing an interview with the speaker at the end as the teaser for the entire lecture. I think sporting events and lectures are two separate things.
