Anyone Else Enjoyed All 3 Streamed At ASU Last Weekend?

Simply, it does not cover all of the costs to broadcast all sports.

You think it is bad now, just wait for what is coming down the line for RCAF. Everyone is going to love it, eye roll, sarcasm off.

You mean my sense of the RCAF becoming as relevant as the old RCC now that Maggard seems to be under T-Joe's thumb?

This guy even tries to steal Mel Rock’s tease. Good Lawdy.

I like to have the game streaming even when at the game so when there are close plays and other issues on the field, you have replay and discussions.

Your reasons for having the games streaming has no outcome on the game. As a fan you having replay means nothing.

Meh I only gave $100 to RCAF this year. The rest will go to the specific sports that deserve it.

Lanny cut out MBB a long time ago.

I pay plenty...a lot. Sorry you have absolutely nothing else to do in life and can attend every home and away Cajun game in every sport...good for you. Maybe we would actually create a secondary ticket market by having more people interested in going. Again, what ____ed you off about the game being on the plus last night? How did it negatively effect you?

Have a great life!

Doesn’t the school get paid by the conference for the media rights? Why can’t they use that money to cover costs of all home games?

If that money was used to broadcast games where would Marlin’s $600k salary come from? Don’t want to risk having him hired away to another program….

The secret to having a finanacially successful magazine, newspaper, radio program, or TV broadcast is having motivated media content salespeople on staff.

Subsidizing a media content sales force is where you start.

Two bits per ticket sold will do the trick

I don’t. The facts are (1) we are operating at a deficit greater than other D1 programs in Louisiana, and (2) we are middle of the pack in SBC in broadcasting baseball.

We are not operating at a deficit at all. On paper, it shows that we are. But the funding is setup in a very complex way. The foundation doesn't report a lot of Athletic spending as athletic spending. This was explained to me someone on the Foundation board.

I’m sure my entire family coming in from out of town for the weekend won’t mind me ducking out for 3 hours tomorrow but if it was streamed I could have it on with everyone at my house tomorrow, who knows might even create some fans that don’t live around the stadium but we don’t want that now do we? Small time thinking. Every time it’s streamed it’s being played at corner bar, legends, Pete’s etc...you know potential fans (money)

I tend to lean towards the "get your ass to the ball park" crowd, but I will say this: Your scenario is certainly valid. In fact, I'd bet I've gotten more people to go to Cajuns games by simply having our games on at parties, family gatherings, holidays, etc. There's really no reason why we can't have both.

This is separate from Melrock's comment (I think), but the RCAF is getting a total overhaul. Ground up start over. (You can thank the people that hired Harris & De Leon for that).
I'm not 100% sure what's next but I'm 80% it will be totally controlled by The Foundation. No more shell staff. I think their operations & funding mechanisms will be much more limited in scope. A bureaucrat buffet.

I'm not sure the RCAF can get any more incompetent or feckless. So maybe this isn't the catastrophe that it seems like it is... But it certainly feels bad.

Change your 80% to 100% from the word around the campfire.
