They need to make that background image static (and preferrably wider for people with a high resolution screen), so when you scroll, everything moves and it doesn't. Also, their background color, behind the water image, doesn't mesh with the rest of the page. It isn't even ODU blue

That's a good suggestion.

No.... but Monarch Pride's suggestion is a design idea that undoubtedly improves the page.
I like the new page overall.

RE: Welcome to ODU's Future .....New Look, New Conference, New Era
One issue I have with moving from CBS to NeuLion is now my CBS all-access subscription will not carry ODU athletics. As many of you know, I cover wrestling for a living and a big part of college matches are shown via online all-access things like Monarch Media. The entire Big Ten uses CBS (as does BTN), so it worked out great for me that I can subscribe to the all-access to give me all I need for my job and then benefit by getting ODU sports as a great personal add-on. I already subscribe to two different streaming packages and NeuLion would make a third (four if you count the DirecTV sports package).
From a CMS standpoint and display look, both CBS and NeuLion have some good themes and mods for them, but one major issue for many will be the use of the no longer supported Microsoft Silverlight, it's buggy for people who use PC's. Flash might have issues with mobile devices, but at least it worked on your machine.
I'm not mad, but now I have to manage yet another online subscription. It's not about being cheap, since I run my own business, it's not like someone else was paying for my sub to start with, I was paying for it to start. Just bummed I can't get that bang for the buck anymore.
Silverlight really doesn't like Chrome either.

I'm confused by the NeuLion move. C-USA has a contract with CBS that gives them exclusive online broadcast rights.

Isn't CBS's online platform powered by NeuLion?

I like the look, but there's a ton of dead links that need to be corrected.

NeuLion and CBS are two different companies as it relates to college websites. There's several companies out there, but those two, along with sidearm, are three of the biggest. All three have different All-Access video plans.
