Am I missing something?

Yes. Scroll down for the rest of the games in another string.

Although some games are being shown 3 different places, maybe they could give one of those up for someone whose game isn't being streamed?

What is the fee?

 

*Free.

Beginning with the Semi-State there is a charge.  

"To see state finals events, viewers will need to download the free IHSAAtv app to their devices (e.g., a computer, phone or OTT/television appliance device) or visit IHSAAtv.org. The prices to view state finals contests will be the same as buying a ticket at the venue: generally $15 per game or $20 for an all-access pass. The IHSAAtv OTT app is available for Roku, Firestick, Apple TV, and Android Tv devices allowing fans watch in high definition on their televisions."

All 12 Semi-State football games will be streamed live on IHSAAtv as a pay-per-view presentation.  Price per game is $12 or watch all 12 for $20.  This is the 4th year that all games have been covered.  Common Questions:

1.  Why are the games pay-per-view?

We hire the best commercial Indiana webcasters and announcers to produce these games.  This assures the presentation is as close to TV quality as possible, versus a HUDL camera or other game-film style video.  These folks desire a profit in addition to covering their costs.

Additionally, the travel distance for Semi-State can be extensive.  We make sure all games are available for all viewers, everywhere, including those unable to attend or those who can't travel.

2.  Why not let all local broadcasters to air the games?

As the number of games decrease, the demand on space in the press box becomes problematic.  We have to limit space allowing our Champions Network affiliates and state wide and local press access.  To assure adequate bandwidth for our streams, we also have to control the use of streaming technologies by others.

3.  Who are the announcers?

We attempt to enlist our State Championship announcers at the Semi-State level.  If not, we select the best announcers from our local professional webcasters.

4.  Do any of the proceeds go to the schools.

Since not every school advances to the Semi-State level, paying just those teams wouldn't be fair to others.  The IHSAA gives back the entire gate proceeds from the tournament to the schools at the sectional.  Additionally, this year, the licensing proceeds from webcasters at the sectional level are given back.  IHSAA gives backs exceed over $2 million yearly which exceeds the operating budget of the association.  Unfortunately, those who parrot, 'Its all about the money' do not understand the business of high school sports.

5.  How can I watch

We strongly suggest using a Roku, Firestick or AppleTV devices on your television.  Then download the IHSAAtv app from the applicable app store.

Additional questions will be answer here, or on twitter at @IHSAAtv.
