What's taking so long!?

[1979Shocker]

Torrent sites are illegal when it comes to copyrighted material, aren't they?

[Steeleshocker]

If you know of a legal way to get the full game right now, I'd love to hear it. No game DVDs are being sold by the NCAA or WSU. IIRC, in 2006 the DVD did not have the game footage from the NCAA tournament. I had to buy DVDs of the individual games from the NCAA. But I am not seeing an alternative like that right now.

[1972Shocker]

Is it possible that they are working on a DVD that encompasses the enitre year of Shocker sports highlighting not only the Final Four run but the overall success of the athletic proram in 2012-13 which probably has been the best ever in the history of Shocker sports?

If so then we still have some athletes competing. Baseball just finished its season and we have 5 athletes competing at the NCAA National Track & Field Championships with several possible All-American performances and even a shot at a National Champion performance.

[Steeleshocker]

Sure that's possible, but I will buy the highlight DVD anyway. What I want is the full games from the tourney run minus the commercials. That shouldn't take long for WSU, the NCAA, or CBS to produce.

[Metalkatz]

You can buy a DVD of individual NCAA games? I would possibly do that! How much and where?

[Steeleshocker]

They did it back for the 2006 tourney, but I haven't seen anything similar for this year.

might bee better to upload them to a torrent site, as the ncaa/google will likely shut down a YouTube version. I am currently trying to get the Ohio St. and Louisville games off of one site. The rest of the games I have been unable to find.

My parents recorded all of the games but the dvr got jacked up when they moved a few weeks ago before I could make copies.

The Louisville game has been on YouTube for a while now.

well, I hope they are just making a basketball DVD in remembrance of the season. I could care less about the other stuff.

I am with you. If they make one with the other stuff, I hope they also make one that just celebrates the final 4. Making the FINAL 4 outshines anything else accomplished by any other team and deserves its own DVD.

It also should have been out way before now. They are losing sales the longer they wait.

Unfortunately this is not the cbs broadcast.

I'm guessing that any hangup is coming from acquiring the footage rights from CBS and/or the NCAA. It seems ridiculous to me that there does not appear to be a way to purchase NCAA tournament game footage (there has been in the past because I bought the full WSU-Tennessee game on iTunes in 2006), but as far as I can tell, either CBS or the NCAA has decided to forgo making a bunch of money with almost zero effort.

[1979Shocker]

This is where you'll be able to find the DVD if it's released by CBS. They already have the Louisville/Michigan game on DVD.

I would like to have a collection of DVDs of all five of our 2013 NCAA tournament games in HD, but I haven't found anyone selling them. I've searched quite a bit online. Yes, if you recorded the games on your DVR, or if you have access to a DVR where the games are stored, you could watch the games on the DVR or copy the games from the DVR to DVDs or other media. That doesn't help people who don't have access to a DVR where the games are stored or people who would prefer to have professionally-produced DVDs rather than bootleg recordings from a DVR. It surprises me that there is not a way to purchase official DVDs of the games.

Louisville had no trouble getting their DVD done and available on-line. I think our Athletic Dept. has really dropped the ball on this one. Surprise, surprise.

Not necessarily. I've seen plenty of effort out of CBS to make material available for the national champion (e.g. the national championship game is the only one available for purchase from CBS), so they may well have had an easier time of it than other schools have and/or actual help from CBS in producing such a DVD (entities like CBS and SI often create such material for national champs). Then again, it could be that the WSU athletic department hasn't moved quickly enough. Hard to know for sure, but given how on the ball the marketing department has been all year it doesn't seem like a trend as your statement would imply.
