We have been contracted by sports training company to film football games and then post each quarter on a web site. The qurters are 12 minutes each we would condense them so it would be just the plays one after another. We are projecting about 7-10 minutes per quarter max. What format would be the best. College coaches, parents and players are our audience.

You should really search this and the Compression Techniques forums, this has been asked and answered soooooo many times.
95% of people have PCs, so WMVs for them seems logical, lots of people have QuickTime, so QTs seem logical for them, just about everyone has Flash installed, so FLVs seem logical.
BUT..... to get everyone you either need a lower quality, more universal video (MPEG-1 or older Flash version), or you provide more than one format. We usually provide a WMV9 and a QT (but usually not H.264 because people need QT7 to play it). We do H.264 and ON2VP6 Flash when we know the audience have the latest QT and Flash installed.
