Would love to hear everyones opinions and views on this matter.   Statistics are showing that the 12 - 25 year olds are unplugging from cable and watching more and more streamed content.   Most seem to want the ability to watch and interact at the same time.  Now I know most of us on here do not fall in that age demographic wonder if there is a desire to be able to experience the live event with HD quality while also having the ability to interact with fans without ever leaving the site?

I'm confused. The MAC used to have their own live streaming of games, but they haven't for the last couple years, so far as I know. Instead the games have been on watchESPN, I think. Unfortunately if you don't subscribe to cable, you can't watchESPN on the web, either via computer or by cell phone. I know that many people had problems with the MAC streaming, but for me it usually worked fine.

 I mean despite the piss-poor video quality, frequent buffering on my 50 Mbps high speed internet, audio syncing issues (if there was any audio to begin with), and the occasional clueless cameraman actually following where the ball is, I guess it's okay.

I wonder how much of the onus is on Ohio University to provide a better stream, camera work, etc. from the Convo vs. looking at the MAC stream.
