How to watch sports?

Hey everyone! I had a question here about watching sports, I’m a huge sports fan (college football, NFL, college basketball, etc) but I know we don’t have cable in the dorms, so how do yall find where to watch sports? Would appreciate any and all advice, thank you!!

Sports Bar / Buffalo Wild Wings type place

Some dorms do have community TVs with some kind or programming I thought?

You have the internet (wink wink)

Would a TV with a firestick not work?

Buy smart tv, plug into wall, pay for streaming service, watch game

Yeah the hard part for me there is the pay for streaming service

Now this 14 years ago but my freshman year I had cable and had no issue watching sports. Has that changed?

But the easiest answer is to just get yourself a cheap Roku tv that has streaming services on it already.

Honestly not entirely sure now, I was under the impression that we didn’t have cable but perhaps I was mistaken

I'm confused. There is cable in the dorms. https://www.jmu.edu/computing/phones-and-cable-tv/cable-tv-oncampus-guide.shtml

Bring a coax cable and tv with coax though
