Yet again, a recent corporate restructuring has put an end to Cox producing any games on Ocean State Network.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">URI is making deals with new and more modern set of outlets to broadcast their games. The good news for the fans is that for twenty-one of the thirty games and seventeen of the eighteen games in Atlantic 10, the Rams action can be watched on the traditional networks like NBC Sports, ESPN, and CBS Sports channels. For the seven games at Ryan Center, the athletic department has set up video stream that viewers can access on their computers and smartphones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mike Laprey, who is the associate athletic director of URI for media relations, said that a streaming option set up by Cox in the previous seasons will act as a template for the seven games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCox has been a great corporate partner of ours and one of the things they introduced to our fans was a high quality stream of our games,\u201d Laprey said. \u201cWe feel we have an obligation to our fans around the country to provide a similar service.
