Lights Out in C-Dome

But wouldnt that be an "operational" reason or a "preference" not a "technical" reason. So from a technical perspective it can be done i may assume? Thanks again.

Wrong again...from a revenue standpoint as well as a broadcast rights one, 2 different companies, 2 different revenue streams. Back in the day, and maybe it's true now ( I'm no broadcast engineer)...radio broadcast originates over a dedicated line, tv is uploaded to a satellite...but I may be way off on that...there are ways to sync up a radiocast of a game with tv. WWL radio offers that with Saints broadcasts. "Turn down the sound on your tv..and" etc. If you don't sync the broadcasts, video will be ahead of audio or vice versa...

I wondered the same thing. But, for whatever reason, I'm glad they're not wearing suits. I always thought it was unnecessary. You're around sweaty players, be comfortable.

Ha. Concur! At my HS they didnt want "dress shoes" ever walking in the court for fear of damage, lol

Cool. Very interesting. Thanks

Not this year. Conference coaches voted to go “casual” this year.

Up to coaches, interesting. Must be nice to set your own wules, lol, can they vote to pay recruits next?

You are all correct. Part of it is the radio broadcaster doing a TV broadcast. Some schools do that but I'm not a fan. On a tv broadcast, the picture does 2/3 of the work.

But you are also correct about revenue streams, especially with the advent of ESPN+. It still would be possible to, on the TV broadcast, cut away from radio to run the TV spots. But I think the University is doing the right thing with separate broadcasts.

Thanks. Makes sense.... But as far as that 2\3s thats true. But too often the "tv people" use that to talk 2\3 about other crap and not the game at hand

That was too easy, lol.

Not really...

I’ve pretty much done away with the tv audio. Turn it on for zebra explaining the penalty. I do listen to our tv announcers for the Cajuns. Never the opponents. At least our guys can pretend to be neutral.

Brings back memories of my high school as well. We couldn't have a Homecoming dance/party there because it would mess up the floors, yet they held an annual donkey basketball game every year on it.

Long story, but we (student council) concluded that they used it as an excuse because didn't want a "mixed" dance sponsored at the school. It was in the mid-80s yet we still had separate proms for black and white students.
