SPARTANBURG, SC -- The Southern Conference announced today that it is partnering with XOS Technologies to offer a new premium content web site at www.SoCon.TV. The web site will feature streaming video of Southern Conference athletic events and will be available on a subscription basis. The conference’s web site SoConSports.Com will remain as the league’s internet source for free content including breaking news, scores, standings and statistics.

I wonder how the existing TV rights contracts will play into the availability of football to be shown here?

Apparently we'll be having it as well this year: http://bigsouthsports.com/ check the Big South Edge. I'm not sure that there is near enough of a demand for the Big South to have this technology.

Using the same company as well.

I think it is great. Hopefully the Big South's version is as good as what yours appears to be.

Hopefully the league was smart enough to retain the rights for at least internet re-broadcast if not for live as well.

Also, please let us know when pricing is available.

A service like this is great not only for fans from the conference, but for fans from other conferences that are interested in these games. i just hope it is reasonably priced.

Good point. I have viewed more than one of the Griz games on the net. With the time difference, I could often go and see the Eagles play in person, and then come home and watch the Griz game on the internet. I always wished that GSU would do this. Maybe this will be a start.

Very Nice! It's similar to Patriot League All-Access:

For the vast majority of games, PL All-Access supplements the television broadcasts, even when ESPN3 picks up the games as well. I guess it's all a matter of how you work it out beforehand. There's a lot of replays and special features in there as well. Many PL fans subscribe and take advantage of the features. Tons of content, including some (limited) free content that doesn't even require a subscription, such as Colgate's Peter Baum accepting the Tewaaraton Award in lacrosse - equivalent to the Heisman!

A spammer bumped this from years back Bog.

I don't delete old threads. When I get around to it I will archive them properly but it isn't right now.

Understood. So stands my shameless, unabashed promotion of the unequaled experience that is Patriot League football. :D
