The Patriot League, in collaboration with Campus Insiders, announced Monday the creation of the Patriot League Network (PLN) that will greatly expand the video content and reach of its digital programming starting in the fall of 2013. Under this multi-year agreement, the Patriot League will live-stream hundreds of its men and women's sporting events, add branded studio programming, develop sponsorship opportunities and grow distribution on multiple platforms and devices.

All the home games for five of the seven Patriot League teams, including out-of-conference games, will be available for streaming broadcast on PLN. Lehigh is one of those five teams who will be broadcasting their home games on PLN.

I. Love. This. xthumbsupx

Will Gtown broadcast from MSF? Or is that the exclusive domain of FIOS per contract?

There is no FiOs contract and hasn't been for three seasons. Move along, please.

Hey, that's pretty damn cool. Look forward to catching some games. Hope there will be a replay option, does anyone know on that?

I believe the games will be available on demand as well, something that was not available on the old CBS streaming solution (though it was on LehighSports.com, Holy Cross', and I believe Colgate's).

Good point... how does this conflict with the pay wall for Lafayette's current deal with CBS? Is that adios?

I believe conference deals trump individual deals and anything left over the individual team can do as it wishes with the conference getting a cut usually. At least, that's how it is in the BSC.
