YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics

Seriously??? YSU is making people pay $11+ to watch this game on line????

(1/4) > >>

Lets_Talk:
This is beyond ridiculous. Why is YSU making people pay to watch this game on the internet? Why would anyone other than a family member of a player pay to watch the game? Why is it that YSU no longer uses the MYTV broadcast for games not picked up by ESPN3?

I was getting ready to watch the game on ESPN3, and the schedule on the YSU web site had this game as being on ESPN3 earlier in the week. I'm in Las Vegas, so I'm not able to make it to the game. And, what about all the other people who live out of town, those who are not able to attend because of health reasons, or who have other reasons for not being able to attend the game, but want to watc the game on line?

And, let's not forget all the complaints from people who did pay to watch the 3 OOC home games on the YSU site. After that, no way would I pay to watch the game, even if this was against NDSU. I sure as hell hope YSU does not pull this garbage come basketball season. This is a great way to push people away from YSU athletics... SMH  ??? ???  >:( :( :(

Wait, this is even worse. The game IS on ESPN3, but I had to go to the South Dakota University website to access the ESPN3 broadcast. When I clicked the "watch live" link on the YSU web site, I was redirected to Stretch Internet. That makes this even worse. This is total BS on the part of YSU Athletic Dept.

LOL... I'm sorry, this is total BS. It is NEVER a good idea to try and rip-off your own fans, and that is EXACTLY what YSU is trying to do.

First I went to ESPN, and the game was not listed as being on ESPN3. Then I went to YSU site, and got the link to Stretch Internet. So, I went to SD site to see if there was a link on their site to watch the game, and it had ESPN3. I clicked the link, and I am watching the game with the MYTV feed.

This means people in the YSU Athletic Dept know the game is on the Internet for FREE with the MYTV broadcast, yet they are intentionally directing people to the Stretch Internet site and asking $11.95. Wow...I mean WOW...Seriously... Just WOW  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
