Thought I'd share this email that I received from the OU Athletic Department regarding its All-Access service. I used to subscribe to it when I lived out of state to catch the radio broadcast of OU football games when not available on TV. It has many other benefits and features, some free, some not, but if you live outside of Oklahoma and especially outside of the Big 12 viewing area it's definitely worth looking into.

Keep in mind that none of the OU football games that are on TV will have video streamed live over the Internet. In other words, all of the games are on TV in some form or other and therefore there will be no live webcasts of OU football games this season.

BEWARE of anyone that offers live streaming video of OU football games. Most of these scams purport to offer 'free' live streaming video, but then they want $29.95 or so for an 'annual pass'. A lot of these offers are to simply con you into filling out a long form which will get you signed up for something entirely different then watching a football game.
