How are sports channels able to make a 10 min highlight reel from a 1hr+ game so quickly?

I’ve noticed that sports channels are able to upload a highlight reel for YouTube so fast. Doesn’t it normally take hours to edit a video?

There are people making it as the game is going on. And you’ve perhaps noticed they aren’t the most elegantly edited productions and are often missing plays that you’d expect.

Well, I don’t personally know how it works exactly, I can easily imagine a software system that allows a couple of editors to watch and flag sequences of the game (start and end timestamps). That system would put each sequence into a large manifest, sorted by order, and then the software package could stitch it all up automatically and create an upload at the end of the game.
