Yep, you nailed it....................Cyclones.TV=Pollards Branding for Iowa only. Bevo wins on coverage for Texas game
I know out of state people can't watch it, but the actual Cyclones TV channel works great.
Product is great! I don't think it's rocket science though finding a provider who can actually deliver the product to it's customers. I'm hoping they are just tied up in a long term contract with Neulion and will be switching once it's over. There are a billion streaming services out there that could get the job done. That or maybe they need to invest in a little more bandwidth.
I wonder how many providers exist for this sort of thing. Are we stuck with NeuLion because that's just the available company?
NeuLion is the partner for the entirety of cyclones.com, not just the video streaming portion. Ditching NeuLion because of its video player would result in having to find a new partner/provider for the whole site.

Horrible idea, imo. Even if they were "among the best in computer business" they would typically have little to no experience on how to run and maintain a national website. They may have good ideas out of the gate, but it would become a maintenance nightmare passing it from class-to-class each semester or year.
I pay $60 a year since I do the auto renew each August.
You nailed it, Cyclone.tv= pollards Branding. Out of State alum get nothing. Bevo wins......
I clicked the link to the receiver and tight end newcomer video. It shows a Miami of Ohio interview. WTF!
Tell it bro!
I emailed Neulion and Cyclone.tv about them ending the live broadcast exactly when CFH was going to speak on 03/14/2014 (Big 12 tournament game, Niang bloodied, amazing game, huge win, etc). WTF, right?
When I didn't hear back from them, after a week, I sent both another email. Here's the response I got two months later:
Kilgore,
Our staff has kept me abreast of several of your recent interactions with them. I am very disappointed to know that, especially since you are a former student-athlete.
Yesterday I was copied on the correspondence below that you shared with our staff following the Big 12 tournament. Although I highly doubt you are withdrawing all of your current and future donations to our department, I want you to know I am perfectly fine if you do so as your language, attitude and actions are completely uncalled for and highly inappropriate. I have asked our staff to continue to keep my abreast of your interactions with them. If they do not improve you will not need to withdraw your donations, we simply will choose to no longer accept them and will discontinue your tickets.
Thank you for your understanding.

Moral of the story nobody cares unless you say the service "sucks ***". Then some work study student will send you an offensive email. I was livid at the time, but whatever. I will say this though
Neulion/Cyclone.tv SUCKS ***!

I responded with: "You could've just said "Sorry"".
