ACC Network Extra debuts tomorrow

Can someone explain why SU and BC have significantly fewer appearances on here than any other team in the conference? Should I care?

Noticed that as well. Not a lot of SU games on that schedule. Not a single SU field hockey game, I believe, FWIW.

I guess this is why it will pay to have a guy like Wildhack as AD.

We have to start winning some games.

I'm not sure that has anything to do with it. The schedule is mainly men's and women's soccer and volleyball. SU men's soccer certainly good enough.

We've done quite well in a lot of sports that are not football. We should be on more.

I am just talking about it from a football perspective, we need to start winning games for people to take us seriously and give us airtime.

If this is how things are going to be long term, it will be very disappointing. The digital network should have close to equal appearances for all schools. Even for Pitt, who has awful Olympic programs across the board.
 
Probably some sort of NC mafia passive aggressive move vs Wildhack

I wonder if it's related to facilities. Are there enough production facilities at/near Manley to broadcast live games?
I agree that Wildhack is the right person to address this.

I think you are right about facilities/equipment.

Time Warner has been broadcasting soccer games for many years. They have televised a few field hockey games and volleyball too. But I am quite sure that was all done with Time Warner equipment.

From what I have seen, it looked like TW would televise a game with a couple of cameras, two announcers and a production van in the parking lot with a satellite dish. Bare bones budget.

The students have Citrus TV and the Orange Television Network, they are shown on campus and given lots of airtime on Time Warner. But all of those shows, to my memory anyway, are studio based. I suspect they don't currently have the ability to be mobile and televise sporting events.

The rapid rollout of the network might have caught Syracuse by surprised. I don't think they were prepared for this.

The other thing is, I thought SU had a contract with all tier 3 SU content with Time Warner. Is it possible TW Sports still owns all the tier 3 rights so not of it is eligible for coverage on the new network?

Regardless, 354 events and not one game played at Syracuse is scheduled to be televised?

Not good.

I hope this changes soon. Giving the Newhouse students chances to do live remote broadcasts of sporting events would be, I would think, invaluable. The Olympic program need all the exposure they can get.

Someone get this done.

You guys should be thrilled that the UNC powerbrokers even let you on at all. It's why I hate this conference.

Not entirely true... (yes, it's true for the non-revenue sports)

We've got some football games that will hit "The Extra", namely Colgate and USF.

Maybe someone here could ask their 'contacts' what the real reason is... and if there are plans to rectify it. :noidea:

I don't think it's a matter of facilities/ equipment. Friend of mine who worked for ESPN said that SU had everything in place to produce programming for Olympic sports. Newhouse students could produce most of the events. Gonna have to check back with him to see if there's an issue.

I found one Field Hockey game in October and of course it is an away game as is every SU game on that schedule no matter the sport.

That could be. I haven't seen them use it but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It would be really odd for Newhouse not to have the ability to do live sports. Really odd.

There is a lot of content produced by the students. Everything I have seen has been studio shows though. You can see them trying to imitate ESPN sets, transitions, graphics, etc. It looks like would I would imagine the Czech TV version of ESPN would look like except it is in English and the on air talent all looks 18 years old.

I went back and found the article from 2014 when the ACC made an announcement about carrying Olympic sports. Seems not much has changed as all the games were away games for SU then also.

That makes me think the contract SU signed with Time Warner Sports for Tier 3 content precludes SU from showing any Tier 3 content on other networks.

If this is true, I wonder how long the contract is for?

I bet BC has a similar situation...
