I swear he bugs the deliberation room or pays people on the committe to leak info to him because his picks are often uncanny, right down to the regions.
Also, I should have known when I saw this thread had "exploded" that then term Hawkeye had been brought up.

Actually, the truth be known the selection comittee takes Lunardis brackets into the room with them and decides,"this looks good---post it."

I guess I see people getting upset on this site and all through Panther Nation about lack of coverage as a good thing. 10 years ago, there weren't enough people who admitted to being UNI basketball fans. Now, they are demanding media coverage...do you know how cool that is to a person like me who has been through the low times? A person who experienced those things first-hand? It's awesome. At times, I can't describe the feeling of walking into the Dome and seeing over 9,000 fans in there for a non-Iowa/ISU game. I can't tell you how cool it is there's something like Panthernation.com that exists. Going to St. Louis and seeing a ton of purple and gold...it brings a tear to me eye.

So, you see it as futile? (maybe...I'm guessing) and I see it as progress. You're right by the way, the coverage would be slanted toward Iowa...I'm sure of it on many stations. I think KCCI and KWWL would try to give equal coverage, but every other station will be Iowa biased. But that doesn't make it right

I totally am with you on this one!

That's pretty close. Actually, ESPN, thanks to the fact that they are all part of an ancient secret society called the Illuminati, controls the NCAA. They don't have to follow every word ESPN says, but if they don't they're likely to end up in the basement of some small villa in Tibet.

Has UNI approached Iowa Public Television about broadcasting away games? IPTV has always broadcast sports, so why not UNI away games? A number of the other MVC teams seem to have video feeds for their home games that can be watched on the Internet, so there would be a feed available for IPTV to pick up. Only negative would be the play by play announcers unless they agreed to have someone from UNI join their telecast to have balance.
