You know that's an actual thing that you can buy?I heard the pay side will get a stream via a camera attached to JB's head

I'll call and bring this up on the radio tomorrow. Stirring the pot is good for things like this.You know that's an actual thing that you can buy?
If only there were some knowledgeable students on campus who might do this for free as part of a learning experience.I'm no fan of Pete Moore, not even a little bit. But that response was pretty thoughtful and without knowing more about the logistics I can't criticize the decision. If this reflects a newfound commitment to not doing streaming events if they're not prepared to do a great job (see: every cuse.com streaming event I watched from 2009 to 2015), all the better.
My guess is that they're moving around the building with some "interactive" stuff and can't manage having a dozen cameras, an experienced director, and a production crew turn that into watchable content.

I'd take an intern holding up an ipad and periscoping it at this point. This is so weak
You gave a better defense than Pete, OM. But there’s not much anyone can do to explain this. For the last couple of years, SU’s been saying everything’s going to streaming. It’s embedded in the conference’s contract with ESPN and SU’s own production facilities are part of that mix. But suddenly, it’s too much trouble to stream MM? We can’t afford some cameras and a director with the Newhouse School of Communications a few hundred feet away? For a program bringing in almost $20 Million dollars a year? Something’s wrong here.I'm no fan of Pete Moore, not even a little bit. But that response was pretty thoughtful and without knowing more about the logistics I can't criticize the decision.

Here is the response I received from Pete, who also cc'd John Wildhack and Sue Edson as well. Hard to believe sometimes that Syracuse runs such a top communications school.
Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate your interest in Syracuse men’s basketball.
Our production team did consider streaming this event. However, it was determined that the number of fan-interactive elements scheduled for the evenings would make it a difficult event to produce a quality stream.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
What absolute BS, this has been on ESPN/Affiliates for years and suddenly it's just too much? Wow...
Forget ESPN, why not time warner/spectrum? Are they out of the sports business now?

I believe in the Albany area they are showing a bunch of HS sectional football games. Is it the same in Syracuse?Forget ESPN, why not time warner/spectrum? Are they out of the sports business now?
The Spectrum local sports channel just has a cancelled graphic on it.I believe in the Albany area they are showing a bunch of HS sectional football games. Is it the same in Syracuse?

I saw a couple of HS games played in Buffalo in September on Spectrum.
My understanding is that Spectrum is still covering games locally but they are distributing them via the Internet instead of using the normal sports channel. It looks like that is still happening. And it looks like they are going to cover a game live on the sports channel too this week.
Week Eight: CNY Football on the Air
That's another whole (sad) story. Spectrum pretty much hoodwinked everyone when they took over ... claiming it was going to support local "college" sports. Then it abruptly cancelled all the SU shows. In Rochester, they're playing HS games for the time being ... 15 year olds running around .. but I think the sports channel's going to be shut down. Unless your kid's playing, the HS stuff is unwatchable.Forget ESPN, why not time warner/spectrum? Are they out of the sports business now?
I have Team Belbey.
Which is horrible for most of us fans. We have to get the games on some kind of ESPN computer access channel. I am forgetting the details, but I bought a chrome cast thingie to attach to my tv so I can watch these games. I will have to remember how to do it.They are pretty much out on that now.
