Is this scrimmage TV'd or streamed? does anyone know if we can see it? TIA
Blue/white game

- Start date
they are probably scared everyone will stay home if it is televised. especially at reportedly very high ticket prices
Yeah it’s being used as an NIl fundraiser which I’m not entirely on board with. A lot of folks from rural Kentucky enjoy seeing that full scrimmage and no stream/TV makes it feel like we don’t matter in that. Is what it is but I hope Pipe reconsiders in the future.
The picture says it all. Hardly any seats sold so far and that’s with only opening up about half of the available seats for purchase.
They need to get out ahead of it and cut prices further/offer bigger Club Blue discounting/etc.
They’ll end up giving a lot away, obnoxiously promoting the event, and still end up with lots of empty seats once the week is through.
A true shame after how awesome Madness was.
Maybe they still have time to figure out a PPV streaming option to recoup some of the cash they aren’t raising from ticket sales.
They are going the wrong way about this.
Why take away the pleasure from the regular fans watching the game and instead transform it into closed circuit , blue and white club?
And apparently the scrimmage will be replace by a practice.
I thought “this was not my team or the players team but the state of Kentucky team”…

Yeah. This is not the way to go. First misstep for Pope.
They would have raised a hell of a lot more if they did it as a $5-10 PPV to fund NIL vs this.
Umm I don’t think Arky charged $1500 a ticket to see their squad in hot springs or whatever. Not sure on what grounds they would “roast” us. For not being rich?
You would think since most of their money comes from TV deals they would understand they can raise a lot more money by charging $5 to view the game online than high ticket prices and no TV option.
Hell I would have paid $20 PPV. I think most fans would have
Reality won't matter. Empty gym equals "see you guys can't fill it up either".
It won't really matter, but we'll be responding to their bs for a minute.
Good times.
It will be PPV in future, it’s just smart.
Maybe only if it’s sold out first.
Who knows??
Go Cats!!

Yeah, I definitely would've paid for a PPV live stream. I understand we are in the new NIL era, but BBN reaches far and wide and a lot of us live way too far away to attend in person.
And for those of us that like to archive all things UK basketball, this is a big letdown. It has been a LONG time since the Blue White game wasn't televised.
Same. I’m never driving multiple hours for a scrimmage. But I have never missed one on TV. I’d gladly shell out up to $25 to watch it.
We need to stop worrying about the damn Pigs. They are history, let's look forward. We are sick and tired of hearing about the past.
Maybe we should make a rule that if we bring up the Pigs, a one month ban is the penalty.
If they wanted to raise a war chest then why not a PPV stream? UK makes way more money from TV deals than ticket sales so they should know this information. If you want to raise war chest you should make it available to the entire fan base, I have no problem donating $15-20 to be able to watch it, and i'm sure thousands of other people are in that boat with me.
