I can't even get the wruc.union.edu link to come up. :`(

Does anyone know if you can pay for single game feeds from Cornell, or do you have to sign up for the whole f'ing month?

The whole f'ing month is $7 and you used to pay $5 a game. Aren't Cornellians paying thirty grand a year for the Cornell experience? What's $7 on top of that? How much is a pre-rolled joint now on campus? Which is more satisfying? (And doesn't give you the munchies?)

For audio we used to pay nothing, before Athletics introduced their wonderful new business model. :-(

Now, granted that they are ripping us off because they can, and their service is no better and in fact often worse than the free version which they hijacked, and their hypocrisy and self-serving empty rhetoric would make a politician blush.... well... honestly, what do you expect? They're a business. When they have something they can sell instead of giving it away, that's what they'll do.

Cornell Hockey is a higher calling. Cornell University is a Walmart. Shrug.

$7 is a lot for a single game. Besides, I plan on listening to RPI's [no sarcasm] excellent broadcasters tomorrow night.

You can watch individual games for $5 but you can't listen to just one? I know they're different services from different companies, but still!

When I was at Cornell it was only $20K per year. Except for this weekend, I can't really listen to games until my girls are in bed ~8pm central time. That's normally halfway through the 3rd, so it doesn't make sense to pay for 1/6 or less of a game.

Teach your girls to like hockey, maybe? I've got my older, the hockey player, off with a friend playing backyard hockey, the younger one is watching Simpsons or similar, and my wife is lamenting her best, single, friend's lack of male companionship. Got the game all to myself. Maybe if I'm lucky we can ditch the kids, drive up Saturday, and see the RPI game in person. My first date with my wife was a Cornell NCAA game. Big Red lost but I won. How romantic.

At 6:50 EST, I just clicked on the Real Networks connection and the game showed up for free, which has me suspicious I signed up for the whole season or for an automatically renewing monthly subscription and it's not really free.

Bill,

At the beginning of the year I received a message from RealNetworks informing me that they could not renew my subscription because my credit card expired......I never asked to have my subscription renewed. I suspect that you are being charged.

In the spirit of Mrs. Fields or Nieman Marcus cookie recipes, maybe you want to share:)

This is the only game of the year that would require a Real Networks subscription. I am tempted, but I will sit it out.

Roy

Just when I think I've canceled everything from Real Networks, some renewed charge appears on my CC bill. pissed

And this is exactly why I absolutely refuse to use this service. Add on all the failures of service, billing "glitches," etc. and I'm quite happy that I haven't wasted my money to this "service" that replaced a perfectly reliable, viable and free broadcast.
