Thought that interior decorating announcements were a Georgia State thing?

Someone posted that all schools who use Sidearm will be able to watch other Sun Belt schools that use the same service to stream online games. After paying a use fee (GS has it setup for the time you want, 1 day, 1 week, 3 months, etc...) one would be able to watch your schools home games and then be able to use the same login to view games from other schools or maybe they would just allow the away school to show that game on their site. Not sure how it would work.

GS uses this service and found it to be very good overall (on par with ESPN3 for video quality and only limited in graphics by what the school is willing to do). Who else uses SideArm to show home games online? Will the SBC push/have exclusive contract to host host all SBC home games with them?

Always thought it would be a great way for fans to follow their team even for away games. Any info or thoughts on this?

I've thought for a while that one thing the Sun Belt could do to improve their content would be to link all the video streams in the conference together. Fans, could choose their favorite school, send that school a flat 15 dollar or so monthly fee, and exchange they would get access to the subscription service of all league schools, meaning access to road games, and the ability to watch games between teams that might have an impact on tourney standing without having to risk using illegal streaming sites.

If a program would agree to put videos of Basketball, Women's Basketball, Baseball, and Softball on the service, I think it would end up increasing the profile of league schools in those sports. There are a lot of people who would gladly pay an increased fee to gain access to every SBC game that's not already televised.

I have no idea if that's entirely possible, but it's a heck of a lot better than paying Georgia State and Texas Arlington 7 bucks to watch them play ASU online.

We need a true digital network like the ACC and SEC have that you can get on even your Roku and we need a mobile app.

Oh joy, are we actually getting one of those type networks?

We have a news app but it's garbage.. Should've revamped that instead of the website

We were using Livestream when we did everything inhouse last year. It was an excellent product. I think we've seen some issues since switching to Sidearm which uses jwplayer.

It's still a great deal better than Neulion which uses JumpTV though. Getting the Sun Belt on Livestream would be awesome.

If the 'Big News' was the upgrade to the SBC Website, then my response is 'Whoppee Chit' as I never look at that website and could care less.

That is not big news so I will assume that is not it.

Go SBC !!

Strange... I have a sun belt conference app but I couldn't find it again... Hmm

Sun Belt app was part of the other site ... why need an app when the new site has full mobile functionality?

Is it tomorrow yet?

The new site is far better than the old and getting close to the ease in use the WAC has. I really disliked trying to find info on the old SBC web presence.
