Thanks for posting this. I will watch.

Im glad we aren't the outlier on that list.

Any updates if this viewable?

Nice. Our in-house media department seems to be doing a good job keeping us ahead of the pack....

I would agree with this if the program was actually loaded and made available as promised. However, as of yesterday it was still not available for viewing on ESPN3. Either NIU or ESPN dropped the ball and I suspect it was NIU.

The reason that I suspect it was NIU is that the Buffalo signing day program was immediately available on ESPN3 on signing day or the day after and if NIU did make the programming available to ESPN they could have called and insisted that they make it available.

The program was seen live and that made it a success. It was scheduled to be archived but ESPN made a very late decision and informed us on Thursday morning that the Signing Day Specials they aired on Wednesday would not be available on their archive, but that schools could post on their own website.

Due to technical issues with NIU's copy (audio was off), we had to get the complete file (6 gigs) back from ESPN, reconvert it and post it. It was Friday afternoon by the time we got the file and Saturday before it could be converted. As of Saturday afternoon, it is now posted on Signing Day Central on NIUHuskies.com as well as on NIUTube (under the On Demand tab).

Thanks Huskie Info.

I am happy that the program was shown live and I appreciate that you have made the program available at NIUHuskies.com and on NIU tube. I will view it this evening.
