Seriously?  A top 25 BCS team playing a 5-1 team from the Big 12 South?

Baylor fans don't want TV, they're trying to set an attendance record.

There's also discussion on "not tearing down the goalposts".

We are everybody's super bowl.

Well, it sure sucks to suck, tv market-wise.  I knew that from the summer re-alignment train wreck, but you really want to pretend that K-State is normal.  Then this happens and reminds you of who your school is.

If they tear down the goalposts, it will help ease the pain of losing not on TV

How hard would it be for K-State to send a camera down there and stream the game on kstatesports.com?  Seems like it would be, like, really easy. 


The fact that I'll be following this game in the exact same manner that my great grandfather would have in the 1920s makes me want to murder somebody.

I like to pretend Wichita is on even footing with the Denver and St. Louis markets.

we're probably not that far away from some kind of app that will allow you to stream things. then people can just take cellphones or whatever and broadcast on their own. i mean can you even imagine listening to a cats game with 0506 commentary?  :love:

There are cameras at every single FBS game, every one.  Live streaming on a schools website violates the policy of the Big 12 and every other major conference.  The game will be replayed on Big 12 no huddle next Tuesday at 7pm.

And herein lies the problem with the existent B12 television/revenue arrangement.  Weren't Ath. Dept's. told that if quality football programs were fielded and played in appealing/consequential games they would be rewarded with television exposure and the added financial benefit of said exposure?  

As a KSU fan I know my place and I know who we are, but KU v A&M is ridiculously terrible football television whereas KSU v Baylor has some implications.  But, has KSU v. Baylor ever been televised?

Baylor is 5-2, Broseph. 

But I fully expect to lose.  This is a MUCH better team than KU.

To be fair, they made this decision a week ago after Nebraska blew our doors off. To tv execs, we probably looked about as unattractive as KU in terms of football team suckiness despite our record. KU has more of a presence in KC than us, A&M has the Houston/Dallas markets. At that time, it looked like both games would have about equal implications for suck. If the implications are equal, you go with the bigger markets.
