As with other content on the iTMS, each selection is US$1.99.
The sports content includes condensed versions of the four BCS bowl games: yesterday's Fiesta and Sugar Bowls, as well as today's Orange Bowl and tomorrow's Rose Bowl. Yesterday's games are available now, while the upcoming games will become available the day after they air. The condensed bowl games currently on the iTMS run between 15 and 17 minutes and offer highlights of the action.
