ESPN+

Streamed games produce video highlights which also allow outlets like D1 Baseball and 11Point7 to share which gets viewed by hundreds of thousands of eyes and gives us more recognition as a program. The walk-off by Debarge last year against Tulane was viewed by just under 200k people when 11Point7 posted it.

Great point, so wouldnt that be ab argument to film it and stream it, even if no announcers available/affordable

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.

No, they are not prioritizing a game versus Kansas City College...they are likely prioritizing streaming four softball games in two days, three of which are against Houston.

It is a numbers game. They probably want to maximize the number of games they stream, and that is what they are doing this weekend.

Friday: Stream 1 Baseball game (softball is off)
Saturday: Stream 2 Softball games (Kansas City and Houston) as opposed to 1 baseball game
Sunday: Stream 2 Softball games (Houston and Houston) as opposed to 1 baseball game

I dont think some of you understand the time it takes to set up and take down everything needed for a broadcast with ESPN+ standards. It is time consuming. You cant just broadcast a 1pm softball game and then set everything up at a different venue for a baseball game. It doesnt work like that.

If you don't like it...donate more so that another truck can be purchased, and so more students can be trained.

Or just show up.

I have long suspected the espn top 10 list were not the actual 10, funny in this new era of media transparency they never clarified that it was only the top 10 that they had the video for and there could be other plays that were better

Ahhh so while the administration claims equity in showing same number of games, they may end up with more actual baseball "dates" than softball, ooops

All the mens and womens basketball and all the baseball and softball games are on the radio. Just listen there and you have yur choice. I don't think there are too many schools that have all the football, Mens and Womens basketball, Baseball and Softball on the radio. Why give ESPN money. I really don't understand the issue. Radio is better you can listen to the game and do other things.

Great point.

Does alabama football have to pay for their espn set ups and trucks?

Yet their fans view it "free" while our fans have to pay an additional subscription, so we are paying twice it seems

Not sure if UL has the equipment to be set up multi sites the same day. If the equipment is available, I think student interns like some universities use for on air talent would be the way to go. However, that might put the administration in a decision bind…free on air talent versus total control.

[R1Letterman]

At least the equipment set up should be able to be students
