Televised Games

Cost is also a factor (I think it's roughly 10K per game, but I'll check and report back.)

Just a question, why aren't the baseball and softball games scheduled at different times when both are at home for the weekend? Does the SBC also dictate starting times? Seems like it would help attendance and allow for both to be televised.

Softball is much more exciting and fun to watch than baseball, IMO.

Women sports are hard to watch IMO. Unless it’s Gymnastics, volleyball and some tennis players.

I also requested the ratings for the broadcasts. I was told those only go to sponsors. So I cannot say whether baseball is watched more than softball, or vice versa.

A friend of mine who’s son is a former LHS pitcher now UNO said the remaining of their home games will be on the plus. No excuses. I thought Dr Maggard was bringing us to big time early on but lately he appears to be going backwards. Freaking UNO is doing a better job with broadcasting games.

If WBB can afford to have every game on the plus with an average of 300 fans in the stands so can baseball and softball

Doesn’t matter. Have you seen the heavy push lately to promote Women’s Basketball.

Hell, last Friday I Googled “NCAA Tournament” to see the latest Men’s scores, and it was all the Women’s scores that were on the top of the results page. Had to scroll down a bit for the Men’s results.

NCAA Women’s Tournament was the Wiki result to the right. That’s by design, not accident.

They can push it all they want, I'd rather watch re-runs of Andy Griffith for the 50th time.

I brought my 3 year old to one of the games this past year.. about midway through the 2nd quarter he gave me a look like you really dragged me to this ____.

Will Veillon had a nice catch I believe Sunday. The athletic department just posted pictures of it. It’s a shame there isn’t a good video. Could have some good social media impressions and/or SC Top 10

OK… I did some checking and the original figure that I was given was inflated. Come to find out the average cost is about 5K
