Sports fanatics can watch the latest college basketball games on satellite TV. Regional Sports Networks brings ESPN Full Court (which covers the entire regular season) and the NCAA March Madness (covers the tournament) to millions of basketball sports aficionados. Both programs are offered by the two largest satellite TV providers in the United States: Dish Network and Direct TV. 

Although the sports television packages are somewhat similar; difference still lie on the cost and range of service that viewers can actually enjoy.

For instance, Direct TV’s ESPN Full Court costs $79 for the season; and $69 for the Mega March Madness – (their version of the NCAA March Madness) exclusively distributed by Direct TV.

Direct TV’s Sports Pack, on the other hand ($13 a month) provides all the college basketball on TV there is, as opposed to a regular schedule of 30 games every week.  Since the blackout rule is not as strict to the other leagues, viewers get more of the basketball games they love to watch with the Sports Pack.

There are of course TV providers who offer sports packages for just five dollars each month.  In any case, always make sure that, when you sign for a service, the TV provider can broadcast the college basketball teams you intend to follow especially if they are the reason why you are getting sports subscription in the first place.
