I am thoroughly confused and incredulous re: the recent announcement for SNY broadcasts of SBU MBB and WBB games this season.  I'm a season ticket holder and I was really pleased with the thought that when the teams weren't at home, I wouldn't have to rely on FloSports to watch them.  But, boy was I wrong!!

Turns out that all the games on SNY are home games!  This strikes me as both useless and counterproductive.  The whole idea should be to put more fans in the arena when the teams are home, but keep the focus and interest on the team when the fans can't attend in person.  This arrangement results in just the reverse--SHEESH!!!

I'm actually quite relieved that these 8 are on SNY (I'm not a season ticket holder), even though I may attend of a few of these.  FloSports is just a horrible streaming service, and at least we can guarantee 8 games can be seen, where the video stream doesn't revert back to the beginning of the game midway through the game (among other annoying issues).  Unfortunately, still gotta cough up $12.50/month (for at least 3 months) during the season if we want to see the full complement of games.  Since SBU and other CAA teams get a rev share from them, don't expect this to change any time soon.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)
