mwc tv

[aztecnails]

the mwc needs to correct their tv package when games like fresno-state-hawaii are not on cable/satellite. fresno escaped with a last second field goal. Hawaii gave them the game with penalties and turnovers. the same can be said for SDSU's upcoming game at hawaii not being on regular tv, cable or satellite. next, look at ucla who has a 3-game winning streak meaning our win over them is even better. last, SDSU, boise state, wyoming and air force are bowl eligible with only unlv and new mexico eliminated from a bowl game. this will be a fun last month.

like it or not AAC conference has been getting better and better - way ahead of the MW - would guess they will get better TV deals

Should be a conference that SDSU should talk to

Don't work that way. The conference must offer an invite. What I'm guessing now is
"get that stadium done and maybe..".

Streaming games will likely be the norm in the future.

The future is now. No way in the world we shouldn't of been on the cutting edge of this. With our classes, facilities and technologies, PBS, Etc. It's ridiculous other schools(sjsu, NM St) are streaming FB and BB games and we watching the world pass us by.

If you want to get bent over TV, consider the fact that our @ Hawaii game, as of now, is not televised. How does that feel?

If you get the Spectrum Sports Network the Hawaii game will be available there.  I just checked and it appears to be available on Cox Cable. Not sure about any other SD County cable systems.

I used to get it up here in Riverside County on Frontier, but Spectrum is fighting with Frontier over fees and is not available of if right now.  Hopefully they'll come to agreement before the game.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

I got an answer back from Steve Schnall.

"The Athletic Department shares your concern on televised games. Our means to assess which games remain available has not changed. After the Conference informs us of the ESPN and CBS selections, we offer remaining contests to Fox Sports San Diego, and other broadcast outlets. Fox Sports San Diego specifically has been a great partner in producing and airing games on channels they have access to, when it does not interfere with other contracts FSSD or its affiliates have for programming. This year FSSD was not able to clear as many contests (they will be televising two games later in the season.)


We are investigating a stream for men’s basketball similar to what is currently in place for women’s basketball, although it is more difficult for a men’s game since we do not have the same camera positions available. A network has superior cameras which the Department does not have and hasn’t needed. We will communicate prior to the next available game on November 22 if any streams will be added to the broadcast schedule."

While I appreciated him getting back to me, saying there's no streaming because their cameras aren't as good as the network ones is a lame excuse. ANY camera would be better than none at all.

It sounds like he is more saying there is no camera position available.

And if that's the case, they're not being very technologically creative.

Well he says they stream for women's games (and baseball, softball soccer ect.), so we know it isn't an equipment issue. Even if the feed isn't HD quality it is better than nothing. Plus, there are plenty of ways to advertise on the streaming to offset costs.

I don't know how "low" into the arena do the cameras need to be? The Mezanine area isn't quite half way, but I would think that would be low enough and would think the required data and power connections would be accessible from inside the party room.

Sound like the typical Lazy excuses.

Holy crap. It CAN'T be that difficult. They can't just use the in-house feed they have on the scoreboard, and match it with the radio broadcast?
