[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 955844, member: 2426"] I have subscribed to that to watch some games from my local high school before. Some very big differences between this and what would be available for college games: [LIST] [*]NFHS Network has games from all around the country included in the $12 per month, not just one conference/state/region. [*]The games are broadcast with equipment and broadband supplied by the schools. Some have just the video feed. Some have a game clock. Some have full production quality graphics: time/score/down-distance/etc. It all depends on what the school's media group can/will provide. [*]The $12 per month subscription rate probably doesn't allow for much to be paid out to each individual school. It is likely more or a convenience to the fans of the school when people can't attend or to watch away games that are far away than a money making tool. [/LIST] When I have watched, I signed up for one month for certain games that I couldn't attend for one reason or another. I did not continue the subscription more than one month at a time. I would assume that many people do that, so it isn't a huge profit building network. The money involved for college athletics would likely be set up not as a convenience for fans, but as a profit center for a broadcast company (NFHS is the national association of high school sports, not a for-profit broadcaster) and for the schools. High schools are more likely to simply appease parents who have issues attending and entice players by having their games broadcast. Colleges teams aren't as likely to do things for little return. College games would need full broadcast production quality cameras, production equipment, and transmission equipment. I believe that all of the ACC schools were required to install a broadcast media center and have broadcast quality equipment as part of the ACCN deal. If I remember correctly, GT spend something around $10 million to build the center and acquire the equipment. As such, I believe things like baseball/softball/volleyball games are being broadcast by GT with GT owned equipment. So, in effect GT is currently already doing something similar, but it is with the ACCN linear channel and the ACCNX streams on ESPN. [/QUOTE]
