Baseball ESPN + Streaming Excuses or Lies?

[Cajunsmike]

Watching volleyball would be sweet

Many home volleyball games are streamed.

yep take that out and baseball laps their season total during a mid week game

Should tell Broadhead to get back into EK. Long instead of the CD . Maggard could probably afford to stream every baseball game with that amount of money saved.

Probably cannot do that. Title IX, equal facilities.

Women's basketball is BRUTAL to watch. Many reasons for that, but it boils down to women playing a man's game.

Is there Women's Football in High School or College? Nope. Is there Women's Baseball in High School or College? Nope, but they play their own game, Softball. Is there Women's Basketball in High School or College? Yep, and it is unwatchable.

Men's basketball is a top 3 sport. Women's basketball is not. I can sit for hours to watch a Softball game or a Track Meet and be enthralled. You can't pay me to watch women's basketball on TV.

MBB is #2 most viewed collegiate sport after college football.

Women's basketball is the third biggest sport nationally. I get that we don't think that way, partially because of softball. They will NEVER get off that mandate.

I think that is the same logic that is putting radio and the Advertiser out of business. Don't do what works locally, do what works nationally.

Watched UCONN and NC State's OT the other night by chance. Was decent, would not of paid money. But then the thing that made me puke. The mothership had the HS all star dunk contest. The announcers went ______ over each other when, on a ball lobbed up in front of the rim, a female finger tipped the ball down into the rim on her last attempt. And the "judges" all gave her a "10". Followed by a guy, on his last attempt, caught a bouncing ball and windmilled it in. Once I saw a nine, pop up, I turned it off. Not all things are equal in many ways, including those who judged based on job security.

The drop in talent even in the top 15 has to be greater than any sport. Even football ULM will hang with a Baylor or a Missouri. I'm wbb it's a blow out with #5 vs #12

J Kelly Hall proved that wrong.

J Kelly Hall proved that wrong.

I hear ya, but that’s 15 years ago. Remember last year’s NCAA tournament and the discrepancies in work out areas?

Apologies in advance if this is off base, (these are questions)

Do we the fans, pay espn for a subscription?
Then the school has to pay to show what we get to watch with our subscription fees that went to espn?
And espn gets to choose the announcers?, Either way does our school or espn pay for that?
Could they just use the radio audio over the video?

And as far as the football deal (on actual networks not internet)
When espn announces “the sunbelt is guaranteed “X” # of games in prime time”, while technically true, I guess we are supposed to say yippee! But do others feel like they are really saying, “We are limiting the sunbelt to “X” # of games in prime time”

[R1Letterman]

What exactly does espn do with the subscription fee the fans pay?
