New user-friendly subscription packages highlight the new Redcast subscription service, a joint venture by Cornell athletics and Internet Consulting Services (ICS). Live audio and video options will be available for purchase so that Big Red fans can follow many of their favorite teams.

 

Subscription packages (see pricing below) are broken up into the following options:

  • A yearly subscription allows users unlimited access to all live events and archived material for one year from the date of purchase.
  • A monthly subscription allows users unlimited access to all live events and archived material for one month from the date of purchase.
  • A pay-per-view pass allows users unlimited access to all live events and archived material on the date of purchase only.
  • A sport pass allows users unlimited access to all live events and archived material for a specific sport good for one year from the date of purchase.

The varied subscription packages also assure subscribers will not be automatically charged at any time other than the initial purchase (no automatic renewal each month, etc.).

 

The best value is the all-season pass, while all-sport passes are priced based on the number of audio and video events. Video contests will include audio only when available (such as for men’s ice hockey, men’s basketball and men’s lacrosse at this time). Home events can be blacked out due to restrictions when games are being televised (users will be notified through www.CornellBigRed.com when this is the case).

 

Cornell Redcasts are available on any platform (PC, MAC, etc.) and new technology will allow for fewer network drops. While occasional drops are unavoidable despite the best efforts of all involved, all care and effort go into bringing the streams back online as soon as possible. In the event of technical problems, subscribers will be made aware of problems through www.CornellBigRed.com, and you can also contact ICS customer service at the following link.
