"Schools can lose federal funds for violating Title ix. Although most institutions are not in compliance with Title IX, no institution has actually lost any federal money"

Ironically if the penalty for athletics violating title 9 is losing federal funding, wouldnt that take away money from academics side of the house. And athletics would be unscathed, #ooops. And we now ncaa woyldnt raise a finger unless it were a g5

There is nothing in Title 9 that says every school has to stream as many softball games as they do baseball. That is just pure bull$H!+. It is just a university thing.

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.

What about in 2025?

Then too, lol that’s how far behind I am right now!

Maybe this has already been discussed and if so I apologize. I know where Jay stands when it comes to this. Having said that I distinctly remember last year there was a game not being streamed yet had cameras set up and video in the club. Sunday I didn’t see any of the regular cameras. Hell I didn’t see any cameras at all. How do they conduct replay with no tv cameras? Other question is why can’t they just put the radio stream over the video feed when cameras are running inside the stadium since it costs extra to bring in a commentary crew? I don’t feel like these are unfair questions. Maybe I’m wrong.

Might be wrong but I think the requirement for replay is only in regard to conference games.

There was a replay Sunday that the umpires looked at and confirmed. That is why I’m asking.

Couldn't we live stream the games with a strategically placed phone so we can see the scoreboard for free?

My Aunt did this with our local high school games last season. People loved it.

Didn’t ULM do that at one time?

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.

I can’t believe it has to be said. A D1 program that can’t stream all of its baseball games in 2024 is ____ing ridiculous. Especially when it’s one of the most popular sports at the university.

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.
