BOCA RATON, Fla. - Florida Atlantic University, a member of Official College Sports Network (OCSN), and RealNetworks?, Inc (Nasdaq: RNWK), the global leader in Internet media delivery, have partnered just in time for the 2002 college football season. Florida Atlantic, along with more than 45 top colleges and universities, will bring exciting, multi-media content including live audio broadcasts of the best in college football, basketball, baseball and other sports to college sports fans across the Internet via a new subscription-only service called College Sports Pass. Florida Atlantic's programming will be entitled Owls Pass.
This exciting college package will kick off the fall sports season by providing live audio coverage of brand-name football games to fans everywhere via the Internet. College Sports Pass will launch with defending national champion and pre-season No. 1 Miami (FL), nationally ranked Washington, Michigan State, Illinois, Arizona and more than 40 others.
Owl fans will also be treated to audio and/or video from press conferences, weekly coach's shows, highlight shows, live statistics breakdowns, league standings and other relevant programming as individually offered by the school. For just $6.95 month subscribers will be treated to the highest bandwidth live broadcast yet available.
To sign up for the subscription, Florida Atlantic fans can go directly to the Owls' official athletic site (www.fausports.com), http://www.realone.com, or directly to their RealOne Player. A full list of participating colleges may be found at: www.collegesports.com.
"With the addition of OCSN partners such as Florida Atlantic to our other sports partners such as MLB.com, NASCAR and the NBA, RealOne is solidifying its position as the preeminent sports destination online," stated Scott Ehrlich, Vice President, Media Acquisition and Distribution, RealNetworks, Inc. "Now, RealNetworks is truly moving into the big leagues... by harnessing the best in both college and professional sports, we're able to provide sports fans with the ultimate in sports programming only available on RealOne."
