I know that there won't be tv or video streaming of the basketball game Friday night, but will there be a radio broadcast? I think the game has been broadcast on the radio in the past.
I could still do thatNext thing you know, I’ll have to stay up and watch the delayed broadcast of a mid-week SEC game at 11;30.
1) times are tough for people, and UK priced a lot of people outBunch of welfare queens. Think you're entitled to everything for free. There are plenty of tickets to support Kentucky players.
You’re a nice fella.Bunch of welfare queens. Think you're entitled to everything for free. There are plenty of tickets to support Kentucky players.
Most of us pay plenty for Xfinity or one of the other cable providers. Since DirecTV recently bought Dish Network, there will be even less competition among tv providers, and the tv providers can charge even more every month. I have a computer and can stream a lot of games via my Xfinity account. My point is that SEC Network has nothing in particular on their channel at the time of the UK game, and could easily have broadcast the game. By my count, there are 10 UK basketball games that will only be available via streaming SEC+ , and older computer-illiterate fans and less well heeled fans will not be able to see. While I can afford Xfinity's total tv package with the high speed internet, there are lots of UK fans who cannot.Bunch of welfare queens. Think you're entitled to everything for free.

So much for it being "our" team. Lol Love Pope but won't lie, this is disappointing.My understanding is that UK deliberately blocked tv, streaming, and radio broadcasts so as to use this game for NIL fundraising. Only the more affluent fans can afford the expensive tickets to this game. They should be careful in doing this. College sports earns billions of dollars in revenue every year only because of widespread public interest. When the general public becomes alienated from their college teams, and quit watching the games on tv, the networks will quickly cut payments to the college conferences, and if the ratings fall low enough, will quit broadcasting college sports. The shows tv networks broadcast are determined by ratings. In my childhood in the late 1950's, it seemed that half or more of the tv shows were westerns. By the mid-1960's, the general public lost interest in westerns, ratings quickly fell, and virtually all westerns were cancelled. Gunsmoke was the last surviving of the old time westerns when it was cancelled in 1975. In the past 50 years, there have been very few westerns on tv. Colleges, pumped up by the billions of dollars from tv deals, may think they can do anything they want in their arrogance and greed, but they may get a surprise when the public loses interest. Remember that radio is only about 100 years old, and tv about 75 years old. Prior to 1950 or so, only a small percentage of the population attended college, and the general public didn't even care that the colleges fielded ball teams. I think it is possible that the general population could lose its interest in college sports, and whole system collapse. End of 10 million a year coaches, end to 100 million a year college athletic budgets, etc.
Exactly.As others have said, UK missed a golden opportunity to set up a PPV option for this. You could charge $20/$25 and get a bunch of buys. The number of buys would greatly outpace ticket sales and that NIL coiffure would increase much more than it is with the so-so ticket sales. After the renovations, the capacity is 6250. At $125 per ticket, a sell out would net $781,250. A PPV at $25 would only need a buy number of 31,250. I don't see any reason the buy number wouldn't greatly exceed that. I think UK dropped the ball here big time.

Can't get over the sense of entitlement from you lazy layabout good for nothings. You get to watch 30 to 40 basketball games for free. You get pro day for free. You watch big blue madness for free. One thing. One measly exhibition game you all would complain is boring. It's not for free. And suddenly it's all hurt fannies and acting like you've been cast out of Eden. Bottom lip all dragging on the ground and stomping your feet because for once you're not getting everything you want from this basketball team.So much for it being "our" team. Lol Love Pope but won't lie, this is disappointing.
Just put everyone here on ignore like I have. You're next.Next thing you know, I’ll have to stay up and watch the delayed broadcast of a mid-week SEC game at 11:30.
And make sure I don't watch/listen to anything so I don't know who wins.
