I guess I didn't know about this. Watching the mens basketball game on TV, and they just mentioned on halftime that there is NO tv coverage for the game this Saturday. Is that for real?! For a PLAYOFF game? What a joke! Unreal. CFU can't even broadcast it?

CFU would if they could.Originally posted by PantherObserver View Post
But it's an executive decision by UNI not to have TV coverage, in order to maximize ticket sales.
I can't blame them, because it's a good move. -

Will it be available on through Stretch Internet?Comment

Re: NO TV coverage for 1st round?
I don't understand why people within 200 miles think its a BIG deal the game isn't on tv....

Because some people have to work and want to be able to record the game and watch it after work. Pretty simple, really.Originally posted by Chitown Panther View PostI don't understand why people within 200 miles think its a BIG deal the game isn't on tv....Comment

Re: NO TV coverage for 1st round?
So UNI has probably been on TV a total of 20 times in history....so I'm guessing you have only attended games in college or watched 20 games on tv?
I live in Denver, CO, not happy its not on TV, but if its better for the budget....I'm all for it.
Hopefully I can get a Rima signal somewhere...."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

Re: NO TV coverage for 1st round?
I really like the idea of tape delaying it. I mean, would someone really chose not to go to the game, because it would be shown on tv the NEXT DAY? so I doubt it would affect ticket sales.
But CFU might not consider it worth the effort to film it if they couldn't show it liveComment

Can they sell enough, in an advertising recession, to make up the costs of production?Originally posted by panther2317
The University is doing the right thing here. yes, there are a few people who can't make it and won't be able to see it, but hopefully it will mean more people purchase tickets.Comment

Re: NO TV coverage for 1st round?
20 times in history? Locally? RIGHT. A little more than that.Originally posted by Chitown Panther View Post
CFU broadcasting the game locally on CFU live would cost next to nothing. If Cedar Falls High School can broadcast a student ran show live, I'm pretty sure CFU and UNI can afford to broadcast a PLAYOFF game for crying out loud.
That's the whole point here. It'd be one thing if it was a regular season game, but to have a playoff game untelevised is pretty ridiculous. We sit here on this board arguing that FCS football is every bit as good as BCS football, yet our playoff games aren't on television. That makes us look pretty small time.Comment

Re: NO TV coverage for 1st round?
I'm guessing that a local station in the Maine area would probably show interest in purchasing a feed of the game. Though I have no clue how the finances of such transactions work.Originally posted by Newsbreaker View PostComment

Re: NO TV coverage for 1st round?
Oh and you're "guessing" wrong. I've been to many UNI games, in college and out of college. I've lived in the area my entire life.Originally posted by Chitown Panther View Post
By the way, we had playoff games in the early to mid 1990s that were on television even. UNI only has been on TV 20 times ever? Maybe your the one that hasn't been following Panther football too long, because that couldn't be further from the truth.Comment
