Big12 Schedule

[Panjandrum]

Could that Texas game be CBS?

no

longhorn network?

Likely. We would show it on our TV network as well (last year it was FSN with Ben/Stanbot)

Is this an agreement of our TV deals?  If something falls to Tier 3, we all get a piece of it?  Or does the home team retain all of the rights?

Do we have to get a special waiver or agreement to broadcast a game on Tier 3 if we're the visiting team?

[scottwildcat]

nothing to see here folks...very comprable to last year really.

[pissclams]

the key take away here is that John Currie, our tightwad, money grubbing AD that he is, has decided to put K-State hoops in a negative cash position by allowing UT to televise our game on the LHN.  because that makes perfect sense.

Because John Currie obviously wants to kill K-State basketball.

Precisely. John Currie wants to kill K-State basketball.

i prefer to play on the longhorn network, not sure why anyone would have a problem with this

i'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with it either and couldn't find anyone in this thread that did. what makes you prefer the longhorn network though clams?

you should try reading the thread, dumbass

just did. still don't see any complaints about the longhorn network though. i think your brain is hallucinating perceived slights that aren't there, captain paranoid. tell me what's great about bball on the longhorn network though and why you'd prefer it. i don't think i've ever watched a game on it, so i'm curious as to why someone would prefer it over cbs or espn.

wow you're really a huge rough ridin' dumbass, who would have thought?  not me. serious here.

you forgot the lol emoticon guy. bbs101- call someone a dumbass and throw up the lol emoticon guy when you don't actually have a response. even kim carnes gets this one right. so c+ and class dismissed i guess.

eff you daris.   i frequently have a response when i use this emoticon.

I'm torn between returning for the KU game or the WVU game.....

Clams, how do you personally think the schedule wound up like it is?  Is it purely random?  Could be, I suppose.

Have you unlucky bastards looked at Weber's offer list lately?  Shouldn't he be targeting recruits that are being offered by other top schools? 

My advice to you all is to pressure one of the beat reporters into speaking the truth.  Our dipshit beat writers Klee and Tate were scared to call a spade a spade and Weber hung on till the bitter end because of it.  They even suggested we might do worse than a coach who took the program to the worst 6 year stretch in over 30 years.  Hold the beat writers accountable.

Trust me, it won't scare off the recruits Weber is after.

Good luck and go EMAW.

Thanks.  Knowing other Weber-survivors gives us all hope.  Feels good, bro.

How closely do the people you have spoken with follow recruiting?

[LickNeckey]

I am not sure how close Currie follows recruiting.  Given the fact that slashing recruiting budgets is his favorite pastime I would guess not very closely.

[pissclams]

SLASHING!

why would i believe it's anything other than a conspiracy?

I have no idea what you believe, but I was genuinely interested in your honest opinion was.

Tier 3 rights are not exclusive windows. We have the right to distribute the game as the visitor however we would like to do so, whether it be a set up like FSN or on the web, it's up to us.

This happens literally every year, at least 1 or 2 conference games end up on Boylevision. Used to be Nebraska or Clones a lot, it isn't unusual. When we have home Boylevision you might notice a second TV crew at the Bram, that would be the visiting team's Tier 3 crew doing the game.

Most schools like having a couple games fall to Tier 3, home or away, because they can turn that into better Tier 3 rights money. Win-win.

my opinion is that it's the same as every other year and if it's different, the reason why it's different has nothing to do with adjc or oscar weber.  if, for some reason, we went back and looked at say, our last 10 years worth of schedules, we would see similar years to this one, and the only reason we're having this discussion is because oscar is our coach.

[Pete]

Clams, you agree with my supposition that the schedule assignment is random? 

I personally do not believe it is random, and I attribute it to us being a comparatively less marketable product than others in the conference.  But, I agree with you that it has nothing to do with oscar Weber.   I think it mostly has to do with us being complete dog crap in basketball for decades...and our agitation over the schedule is a result of a small window of non-dog-shitness that has created a sense of entitlement in our fanbase.  go cats

[Trim]

I think it's partially random, in that certain games are set in advance like Big Mondays and any weird crap like when ku and mizzou would play on cbs at the end of the year.  With those set, the rest of them are done by some computer randomizer program (shoutout to when we did the BBBS raffle live on tape from the chef) that has all sorts of criteria about home/away in a row and travel and stuff.  Unless we're talking about getting picked for Big Monday or other sorts of special games, I doubt the schedule in general has anything to do with our newfound fondness for chicken nuggets.

[Pete]

Catzacker had the most meaningful input in this thread, IMO, when he noted that this will likely help fill up the place on midweek games.  That's a plus for the athletic department.

This is awesome to know.  I've always been kind of fuzzy on the Tier 3 stuff.

I have no problem with the game being on LHN so long as we have the opportunity to broadcast and monetize that game.

So, that said, is this a K-State HD game or a FSN KC game?  Personally, putting it on HD may drive subs up, but we'd probably make more on FSN KC.

I presume it will be blacked out on ESPN 3 (unlike our other Tier 3 games) due to the LHN.
