Television for this weekend
I don't remember the thread that discussed this, but there were some questions about streaming for this weekend.
Originally, it was scheduled for softball on Friday and Saturday and Baseball on Sunday. Then it was decided BOTH would be streaming on Sunday, which raised two questions. Why the change, and why not televise all three for both teams.
Softball decided they wanted their game streamed so they hired Jumbo Sports to do their Sunday game. They had the money and they are paying for it.
It's roughly ten times the cost of producing it ourselves. Baseball isn't buying the other two games because they decided to charter trips to both Marshall and JMU.
And, while you may not like the answers, at least you have accurate information.
You can listen 96.5 KPEL-FM, the 96.5 app or the varsity sports app.

Re: Television for this weekend
Thanks for the explanation and you are right that’s inexcusable. The university should be ashamed of itself for not streaming the baseball series. In any event that both baseball and softball are home and a choice has to be made baseball should take precedence 100% of the time. It reminds me of the App St series last year when I emailed their AD and told him how poor dunk they were for not streaming the baseball series. I feel for the Troy fans this week and I hope they are giving Doc an ear full on this p!$$ poor coverage of his baseball program.

Unless baseball has been completely eliminated from the postseason….yes.
It’s the same thing as the US Women’s national soccer team wanting equal pay as the men. They may be a better team relative to each teams competition, but there’s simply more interest in men’s sports.

There’s also such a thing as Title IX. You have to be equitable when it comes to this stuff.
