Live games, press conferences, interviews, coaches' shows, select condensed and full game archives, highlights and behind the scenes coverage are all available. As Duke sport programs begin their respective seasons, additional scheduling will be announced. GoDuke.com will have complete listings. A leader in embracing emerging technology, Duke Athletics partnered with NeuLion to become the first school in the ACC to stream a video webcast in High Definition when its baseball team faced N.C. Central on March 15 at Jack Coombs Field.

“Anytime you have the chance to combine an elite collegiate brand with high end technology, it's a win-win situation,” said NeuLion Vice President Ed O'Brien. “Duke fans will now be able to watch Blue Devils men's and women's basketball live in High Definition on either their PC or iPads. This speaks volumes to the progressive vision of their athletic department.”

The official iPad app launch is the latest addition to a comprehensive digital strategy by Duke Athletics to reach Blue Devil fans anywhere at any time. Duke fans can access their favorite content on any device through the mobile enabled site or through device specific apps with the iPhone, Android and now the iPad.
