CORRECTION No streaming of MC/ DGN
- Thread starter MC63
- Start date
Hearing there will be no stream available for tomorrows game. The maybe not was in reference to the link that Caravan football provided. It’s not a direct link.
Your info was solid. AD from Downers North informed MC today that there will be no stream available. Hopefully something changed.
Fees can be steep for a school to stream a non-NFHS stream in the post season. I'm surprised NFHS didn't send a crew if MC or DGN won't do it.
I've never been able to get answers to this situation. Let's say DGN decided to stream on youtube, facebook live, whatever- who is actively searching to fine them? Does NFHS automatically know if a school streams somewhere else? Someone's job to look for that? Then, if they are caught...a fine is given? I've talked to multiple coaches/ADs who could not answer how or why any punishment would occur, only that they are not "supposed to" because NFHS/IHSA said so.
It goes up each round and differs for each sport.
Football round 1 is $250, round 2 is $325, quarterfinal is $400, and semifinal is $475.
Full schedule of fees is available here on page 2: https://www.ihsa.org/documents/media/Video Ap.pdf
If a school is an NFHS broadcast school, they can stream all games, including post season, via NFHS for free.
IHSA has an agreement with NFHS that stipulates that they have the first go at media rights for the post season. If there's an unlicensed stream available, they'll work with the platform to remove it, but I believe they can also go back and bill the school for the media rights. Facebook and Youtube tend to be very responsive to takedown requests.
There's not a good way to automatically know, but its hard to advertise enough so regular people can know without advertising so much that it doesn't leak to NFHS. All it takes is 1 tipster and suddenly a school is on the hook for $250+. It just isn't worth the dice roll to many schools.

I wish schools would just say screw NFHS, here's your $1,500 we're gonna broadcast on Youtube like we've done all year.

compliments of Dan LaCount!
Huh? At 1pm, the DGN athletic dept told me they were NOT streaming the game.
Please ...details! Thanks
With wind gusts of 25 mph, some schools may not have the infrastructure. Remember the incident at Notre Dame.
But why did IHSA agree to give NFHS financial and and technical control of the playoffs? NFHS is like a hedge fund. Although it contributes nothing to the sport, it's making money off it.

MC lost its three best players, Dupree, Dowling, and, I think, Asher Tomaszewski. I hope the remaining players dedicate the season to their fallen brothers.
They were looking for a crew for that game, just couldn't pull one together fast enough. I chose LWE vs NV.
The IHSA is a part owner of NFHS network. It's essentially a coop from my understanding.
Yah Illinois has a lot of catching up to do to catch iowa and other states that make streaming quality and easy to find
