More evidence that "if it's not being broadcast, it can't be that important". Web distribution is being provided by athletic conferences and ESPN (see Big Sky TV, WAC TV, and ESPN).

And, the bigger schools are making it into a revenue producing activty.

From a recent notice to UC Berkeley alumni:
