I seem to recall Fox College Sports picking up some of our games last year, and I'm thinking some games got broadcast on-line but I can't remember for sure.
I ask mostly because I noticed the cable company down here offers FCS network (Eastern, Central and another region) as channels in one of their packages... which is nice and dandy but I don't think I want to pay the extra cost of that package, as I'd probally only watch the extra channels a few days a year, and if I have other options like the Clone Zone I'd probally prefer that.
Feedback/advice would be appreciated
ISU games will be carried either on the regional ABC feed, which you could get with the ESPN Gameplan package, Fox Sports Net - generally they carry it "nationwide", but sometimes there's a couple of different regions, ESPN, or, rarely, on FCS.

Sounds far-fetched, but you can get a refurb Sony box for about $100 at TigerDirect. Kind of a hassle for both of you, but hey, what are friends for?
You won't be able to see any more games via slingbox than you could via programming packages available via satellite or cable provider. There wasn't a single game last year that was televised locally that was not available to people with FCS, FSN or Gameplan.
