W&J Debuts Live Video Webcasts
Washington & Jefferson College Director of Athletics Bill Dukett has announced a web streaming partnership with LiveSportsVideo.com to begin providing live video of Presidents’ athletic events.
Beginning with Wednesday’s volleyball match against Geneva College (7:00 pm), W&J athletics will provide live video of selected home athletic events. A link will be provided on the Washington & Jefferson College athletic website and fans will be able to watch games live via the internet for free.
