Basketball onTV?

Post by factman »

With the attendance limited to 300, has anyone heard about possible TV converse for both the men’s and women’s games. Seems to be this should a top priority for the department. You Tube, Facebook, WBGSU could all be possibilities.

I doubt very seriously if they can use any of those services to put games on streaming. Maybe they could get away with airing them over the air on WBGU.

The games are always carried on ESPN+ and I'm sure the contract won't allow anything different this year.

Are women’s games on ESPN+? To be honest, I forgot all about EDPN+.

Not always, but fairly often, yes.

Last year, IIRC, every men's & women's home game against a Division I opponent was on either ESPN3 or ESPN+. I'm guessing it'll be the same this year. You have to think the folks at BGSU will make sure the games are available, since hardly anyone will be able to get into the building (cue the haters who will now chime in with their sarcastic comments. You know who you are).

With attendance restrictions I would like to see a special season ticket buyer package but with ESPN in the mix I doubt that is possible.

I wouldn't look for any price breaks from Bristol -- they've been cutting personnel like crazy the last few years; and they just had another round of cuts that were in the news 11/5. In that round, something like 300 jobs were axed and another 200 will go unfilled.

Unless a local TV station bought the rights to a game or several, I suppose. I'm imagine ESPN would be happy to have that conversation.
