I am looking at getting Comcast's college hoops package (I think it is Full Court or something like that). I checked it out online and there is no price or what games it includes. Before I waste a half hour sitting on hold with Comcast asking about it I wanted to get some of your opinions. Have any of you done this with Comcast? Is it worth it? How much is it? I would have Direct TV if I could but it is not allowed by the condo association (I would if I could, Chicos). Please give me any info any of you may have on this. Thanks in advance.
$99 for the entire season if you purchase before 11/22. $109 if after 11/22 until 1/07. if you like college basketball, totally worth it. big east games pretty much every night of the week. this year especially it is worth it because you will be able to see 13 MU games you would not be able to see otherwise (unless you're in milwaukee). so it breaks down to less than 8 bucks a game if you use it only for MU games. totally worth it in my book.
Make sure you're getting ESPN Full Court from Comcast. May or may not be the same things as the "college hoops package", but ask for it by name...

I also signed up for the package this year for the first time. Pricing is accurate as listed above.
Please note that if you purchase on-demand a la carte, the price is $20 / day for a game. The breakeven is five games. In previous years, it was not worth it, but with 13 games there is clearly a (perceived) benefit.
I just signed up for it. $99 for the year. The only thing that makes me nervous is that Comcast doesn't have a schedule of games. I was on the directtv website and noticed that they have the entire season scheduled. The lady on the phone said she would assume that Comcast will show the same games as the directtv package considering they are both ESPN Full Court. From looking at it, I will now get 12 games on this package, MU is already on TV 13 times, plus I will be up at MU to watch 4 games. There will only be a couple games I will miss which is a drastic change from years past. I am definitely getting excited for this season!
I also subscribed for the first time this year. I was under the impression that the ESPN Full Court is the same no matter what cable provider you have. If the game is broadcast on Full Court, its broadcast on every cable provider.
