Be There, No Matter What.
Whether you're stuck at work, traveling, or just can't make it to the game, you can still cheer on your student live from your phone, tablet, or smart TV.
Support student programs
A portion of every subscription goes directly back to our school's athletic programs, helping to fund new equipment, team travel, and facility upgrades. It's more than a stream—it's an investment in their future.
Connect with family
Share the link with grandparents, relatives, and friends so they can be a part of the action, no matter where they live.
