Pay to watch!!
« on: July 16, 2019, 04:44:33 am »
So now, SB is charging $15 a month to watch home games on something called, " Seawolves on demand". I guess the days of watching your local college team play are no longer free. Stony Brook Athletics better start winning some Playoff games if they think they can now start charging a fee to watch them compete.  It's one thing If SB was playing Power 5 teams, but paying money to watch them play AE teams, NAAAAAAAA. I'm good!!!!

is this all sports?

id give $15 to see my alma mater IF:

-the stream is clear
-and has a clock, scoreboard, etc.
-the feed doesnt break down
-we have announcers that understand what they're watching
-archived games (for certain sports, at least)
There are 29,413,039 corporations in America; but only one Chairman of the Board.

I'm confused by this since we already have a media deal with ESPN putting all our AE stuff on ESPN+, and the CAA FloSports deal covers the football. If this is for the couple football games that aren't on Flo then this is a terrible deal as our current streaming quality is NOT worth paying $15 a month for over a couple of games. If this is pure Video on Demand of old games, then maybe it could be worth it if it had EVERY SBU game going back about a decade. If I could get access to our old Big South football games, or the 2016 AE title game vs Vermont that sent us to the tournament then it would be worth it as those are VERY hard to find on ESPN3/+.

First time poster, long time lurker...listen I love complaining about things when justified but you guys need to take a step back and actually read what this program is. It has a difficult to interpret name which may have caused some confusion.

However, I have no idea where anybody got the idea that this is a streaming membership. As VERY clearly stated on the webpage:

What access will Seawolves On Demand members have?

Each membership purchased will have one (1) ticket to all football, men's basketball, women's basketball, men's lacrosse and women's lacrosse regular season home games waiting at will call.

This is a TICKET membership plan to get access to all these home games.

Before making a post and jumping off the deep end, take a breath and pause.

Two years later, and here we are.  Basically were able to watch two quarters on Flosports last Saturday.  A direct reflection on Emmerich and Heilbron.  They don't seem to care.  If they did, after last spring's streaming issues, this would have been fixed for the fall.  Clowns.
