Yes, thats what current fans want, but fringe fans and potential fans won't be subsrcribing and thats what we need to grow the fan base. Even if we can get games on local channels or Mediacom for nothing that is better than making a couple grand off 1000 people watching on the internet.
They wont pay 9 bucks to see a game online? Its better than not seeing a game at all. Heck you can get a few games for 9 bucks per month. Thats a steal.

But we dont. There have been several games I couldnt get in Sioux City. Its pitiful. I have no doubt Pollard wants to expand on tv deals as well. This is just another layer and/or bridge.
That's what I was thinking. Wow we're really in trouble if that's the case!
I think that one study put us under 300,000 TOTAL fans, so i would say that under 100,000 real fans could be a real possiblilty.

Someone who is just casually flipping channels looking for a game isn't going to go and pay money for a game when there are others available free...

Too bad the big 12 is dumb and does not have its own network to put games and other content on. Much more money for everyone (outside Texas) if everyone played together. Not to mention more exposure, like across the country! People flip through TV channels, they do not surf the web to watch an OSU vs. ISU replay from last season.
I assume this replaces Clone Zone. $9.95 per month or $79.95 per year.
Will have at least 1 football game, several men's basketball games, and a lot of other live events.
What are everyone's thoughts? Worth the money?
id say yes, if they had everything available.. 1 football game a year? eh. if that 1 game isnt on national tv, and it has all Iowa State Mens non confernence games, then yes, id probably suscribe assuming its all in HD.

I saw that study and it was very rinky-dink and in no way could predict the number of fans that a school has. I've got relatives who graduated from Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri and they watch all of the Cyclone games that they can get. They all call or email after a Cyclone victory and congratulate us as well. They may not be real Cyclone fans but their TV sets don't know that.

Yea, but what games are we really talking about here? The biggest game for MBB that wasn't CTN/Big12/ESPN this year was UNI. Even if the games sit on Mediacom, how many fringe/casual fans are stopping to watch us stomp on Lipscomb or something like that? At least with an online outlet, everyone that would seek out the game to watch it has the option to, unlike the ******** mediacom arrangement.

Well, those games would be on at most sports bars as well and have the possibility of reaching people who aren't seeking out a game. A subscription service like this will not.

We are talking about one football game, that at best would have been on MC22. I think you are blowing it out of proportion. This is a very good thing.

Couldn't a sports bar have a subscription?
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.

It's one football game a year. The rest will be on TV.
