Matt 178 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I just hope the UIL allows home team streams to continue. We had so many viewers, we’d pay them a cut. That’s all they want. The problem with the playoffs I listened to is the commentators just weren’t familiar with the teams. And the camera work wasn’t very good in several games I saw. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ANTI 1,646 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The logistics will determine if I switch from NFHS. NFHS streaming was pretty damn awful this year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they can have some sort of training for the people running the equipment and commentators ... there were vast differences in quality depending on which games you watched .... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is the UIL goes back to the Friday night blackout rule but thats also hoping we are back to full stands etc by August Link to post Share on other sites

Their reasoning was it would affect attendance of games. They could not have been more wrong! This is all changed in 1984 when the TV contracts started multiplying across the various conferences. Attendance actually went up. Again, I just think if the UIL came up with a reasonable $$ amount kickback to them, they would should allow these. @MattStepp, who would you recommend contacting at the UIL to lobby for this? I have talked to a couple of broadcast crews that stream their home games and all of us would like to lobby for that. Again, I know the playoffs are a different deal and congrats on getting those games. But we are local and we should have the right to let our fans see our games. But that's an argument to make with the UIL. Who would you suggest to contact? Link to post Share on other sites
