How to Watch Football Games on a PC
Since college athletes are not paid, nearly every college football game is shown on ESPN3.com or, if the school has a major football program, the school will sometimes stream the football game from their website. As for professional football, there are several licenses that keep NFL games from being shown online, but there are some ways to watch games online for those who wouldn't normally have access to them or for those who want to watch an already aired game.
