Anyone know if there will be TV or internet coverage of the Northern Iowa game? JJH

I understand it will be streamed on ncaa.com.

Can’t confirm as of yet.

The NCAA.com interactive bracket confirms that it will be streamed live on NCAA.com.

Hope it is in HD!

I have verified that the first round will definitely have streamed video. WebStreamProductions is in charge of the live video and it will be be available on NCAAsports.com.

I think it’s different now. The NCAA owns the broadcast rights to their championship content. Before, I don’t think they cared too much about the rights, so they either sold the rights for a song so local outfits could broadcast the games (at a loss, mind you), or didn’t really think about the concept of broadcast rights for the playoffs so it was a free-for-all. I cant’ say specifically what’s different, but I heavily suspect that it has something to do with either scenario.

I heard that the SS Boosters were working on something with Starters Riverport to possibly televise there, like they did the Ohio State match last year.

If this is for sure a "go" at Starters Riverport, let me know the details and I’ll spread the word through the blog.

Game is a go for Starters Riverport. Coverage begins around noon with kickoff at 1 p.m. Hopefully, audio is being arranged with 1230/1320 AM ESPN Radio.
