Cornell 5 - 2 Princeton; Final

[Al DeFlorio]

I shot off an email to Jeremy Hartigan (director of athletic communications). Hearing from more people that were upset probably wouldn't hurt. jh295@cornell.edu

Good luck.  I always get a nastygram in response.

Done.

It was very frustrating. I can't imagine how ticked off I would be if I was trying to watch all 3 events.

I got a very long response from Jeremy Hartigan that he wrote at 12:46 AM. I'm not going to copy the whole thing, but basically the problems seemed to stem from the Time Warner TV broadcast of the basketball game. I guess this TV broadcast was essentially eating up all the bandwidth coming out of athletics and knocked out everything including the media wireless in Newman. (I don't really understand this as I thought most TV broadcasts were done by sattelite linkups, not over the internet) He was apologetic and upset that this happened on such an important sports night, and says they are working to make sure it doesn't happen again. Then he goes on to explain that he thinks we have one of the best services overall compared to other schools (and say that Cornell is losing money on it).

This would make sense, given that SportsNet New York didn't show the basketball game as they advertised. When I tuned in I saw a five-second still of Louis Dale, followed by a black screen, followed by an infomercial.

SNY worked fine for me.  I watched the whole 2nd half.

I got the whole game on SNY in Manhattan.

Just got this e-mail:

Unfortunately, we cannot issue partial refunds however we are upgrading your account to a full season pass. This means you can view all events for any sport and have full access to all archives and special features on the site. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused this evening.

I already have a full season pass, so this does me no good. I told them that.

Oh, and we're really sorry you couldn't watch it live but you can at least watch it in the archive.  What an effing joke.  If you can't tell, I'm about ready to crack.  Class action anyone?

I just received a partial refund ($5.00 on my hockey season pass, which is more than the prorated cost) for the issues during the Princeton.  It appears they are at least trying to do something.

I was given a credit, too.  A smart gesture.

I am surprised that such an obscure fetish is so lucrative.::deadhorse::
