The last two years when I was the Kickoff coordinator for South Carolina, we got streaming information well in advance with opportunities to test it with a dummy video and make any needed adjustments with the IT staff (if only for the weekend).

I'm not a Kickoff coordinator this year, so I don't know when the email went out to coordinators. But this isn't their first time at the rodeo.
We draw straws* and send 4 unlucky** guests to the local official kickoff to do the song and dance while we settle in a mile away at the school. While some of us have school networks we can poke through or flexible and communicative IT directors, some of us don't, and getting such short notice to rectify the issue is a bit of a bummer.

*I pick people if we don't get volunteers
**unlucky in the sense that we have a much better breakfast at the school than at the local kickoff, eat your heart out VCU
