Georgia State game on national TV

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Speaking as a cable-cutter (who I know are the minority), this isn't really great news, because it probably takes away a game that would have been on cyclones.tv.

Now it looks like even the UMKC game is getting national ESPNU coverage. Not looking good for you JBH.

Looks like I might not even worry about getting CyclonesTV for the non conference. Looking like most of the games will be available.

I was a cable cutter last year. I am now back on cable. It does suck though because I only use cable for live sports and HBO. I literally don't watch anything else.

I wish that the NCAA would come up with something similar to MLB at bat. For about $200/year I get every mlb game live on my iPhone or iPad. If I could get something similar for NCAA and subscribe to HBO GO without having to have HBO, I would definitely cut cable permanently.

Looks like we're down to 6 games without national coverage. And even then, you have to think there's at least a chance that a game like South Carolina or Drake might get picked up.

The South Carolina game isn't televised? I thought that the game was going to be played on EPSN.

I don't think anything has been announced and Cyclones.com schedule doesn't show any TV yet (they've already updated Georgia St. and UMKC). Seems like a safe bet to get a late pick up from somebody though, doesn't it?

Yeah, I'm about ready to pull the plug on cyclones.tv. 1 FB game and now what looks to be just a couple of MBB games (usually in choppy low def) just doesn't make it financially worth while for me anymore. I don't have time to really take advantage of the other content.

With the demise of the Big 12 OTA network (which broadcast 7 ISU games last year), and now more games moving away from cyclones.tv, I might end up seeing just a handful of MBB games this year (whatever ends up on cyclones.tv and a couple in person). So it goes in the brave new world of college $ports...

This is what I'm thinking now but about an hour before the first game I can't see.....that could be a different story.

It's a whole $10 a month. You probably spend more than that on toilet paper each month.

You're doing it wrong. The games have been in good quality HD the past few seasons.
