My issue with NFHS and the CIF is that NFHS is allowed to purchase the rights to broadcast all CIFSJS playoff games, yet they do not broadcast most of the games. This does not allow schools to broadcast on their own.
Better yet ThunderRam & other fans - just sign up for the yearly pass for $70 and get all the sports all year long.
I used to sign up like ThunderRam just for football season but a few years' ago switched to the annual pass. That way basketball games/playoffs come up with an occasional baseball game or other sport. For less than $6 mo. its totally worth it [plus you can watch past games or games you've already watched & saved].
