What about this broadcasting option?

1 I think the IFL should push for a espn360.com deal

2 Coaches shows they are cheap to do, only take a 30 minute time slot, and channels like css and fsn has alot of these shows in place.

3 What do u guys think about a league wide appearl deal, say Russell Athletic, gives a uniform league look, provides team with gear, and hopefully the league could make a few dollars.

I prefer the teams to be able to negoiate uniform deals. the last thing we want it a UFL type look blech. Havng said that getting a Russell or under armour deal where teams could choose to take advantage of if they wanted to might be good, keep bob Scott for being so cheap on his uniforms. It would also reduce first year costs for expansion franchises potentailly.

What's it cost the fans for espn360.com? I personally am not about to sign up for anything that required a monthly membership simply to watch the TWO Storm road games i'll miss this year.

The league office should really be non-profit or close to it. Should focus on making the teams profitable, and provide leadership and oversight, something that was in short supply last year.

Would love to see what NFT-TV's costs are per game, perhaps the league could pick up the tab ala the league with nets. B2 is all else fails.. they just have bandwidth issues sometimes, and they stopped being so quick to give out refunds.

ESPN360 is basically an Internet version of an ESPN cable channel - you can only get it if your ISP subscribes to it for you. You don't pay anything extra for it... *if* your ISP provides if. If your ISP doesn't provide it... you CAN'T pay for it. :)

That said, ESPN360 doesn't carry lower-tier minor pro sports. They certainly won't carry the IFL.

Nifty or B2 are definitely more credible options for the IFL.

ESPN 360 is free if your Internet Service Provider is paying ESPN for it. Else you cannot access it at all. You can check to see if your ISP pays for it here: http://espn.go.com/broadband/espn360/channelFinder

NFT-TV is very nice for watching a game on the web, and pretty good quality too.

You are lucky that you will be able to go to your team's games. I am a Preds fan but I had to move and the only way I will be seeing them this season will probably be via Nifty.
