ESPN+

[JMV JustMyView]

Two thoughts....

Contractual requirements with ESPN? No broadcast allowed outside of their network. I'd bet money that is in place. If I were ESPN it definitely would be in the contract.

Second. Do we really want to look like a high school broadcast? I understand the desire to watch or listen. I'll age myself here a bit. Gonegolfin used to call me and I would put the phone (landline if you know what that means) down next to the radio so he could listen to the games. Today's equivalent is the facebook live feed. Just not sure that is what we want projected as a University.

Have you ever listed to Scott Brada call or comentate a softball game. He is terrible.

I don't disagree with you; but to take away from softball to stream baseball should never happen either. I don't know what the answer is, but that ain't it.

So you are saying softball should always take precedence over baseball when both are at home? I would guess you are in the minority on that.

While it isn't explicit on games broadast Title 9 very clearly states media coverage must be equal.

Ultimately we just don't have the funds available to have multiple broadcast available all the time. Especially now with NIL becoming an issue.

If that is true why don’t we see womens soccer on ABC, CBS and Fox on prime time broadcast as we do football. Womens soccer is title 9’s answer to football.

Along that line, anyone out there watch even one minute of an Unrivaled Women’s basketball league game? Angel Reese, the self made double double machine lighting it up?

I had to look it up, TNT and Max are the possible networks.

WNBA will die quickly when Catlin Clark finishes her run. She can make more doing NBA PXP in a few years than in the WNBA.

Government can Title IX colleges, but the open market is probably about to drop the hammer on the “they’re equal” fantasy of professional sports now that the balloon is popped.

What about when the baseball team is hosting it's highest ranked (and biggest name) opponent of the year?

Softball has had some marquee opponents coming in, but this weekend not so much

If in the Lafayette area, I get your drift. It stinks for the out of towners that still have skin in the game. I try to make as many weekends as possible, but early season conflicts with my Texas high school soccer schedule, so not really feasible until late March. As someone previously mentioned, it’s understandable that we can’t get every game broadcast, but when Kansas City College softball is prioritized over a top 25 Baseball opponent, someone dropped the ball. I understand fairness being applied, but so should common sense.

Common sense....seems like I'm hearing that a lot lately from one side of the coin. The other side, not so much as it appears to be right here.

I think we get too wrapped up in the saying "big name" with regards to diamond sports. Not sure if it is an homage to their previous big name in football or if it is a lack of remembering our own diamond sport successes. Nebraska in this case has not won a regional in about 20 years and only one conf tourny in same time and only 1 bowl win in 10 years. This trend statrted in softball when 75pct (+) of the time we call an opponent a big name, they should have been calling us that

Sucks to be a Nebraska fan this weekend. I bet they are calling us a small time low budget 2nd rated program.

You say that but as soon as we go on the road and our opponent has no streaming available people b!+(H and mon on here because they can’t watch. I think back to Marshall either last year or the year before they did softball instead of the baseball series.
