You can be on TV anywhere. There is no reason to go to NLR or Tulsa for that. I think the logic works exactly opposite the way you're applying it.

No it doesn't.   

What I want to see is a neutral site game that draws what amounts to a home crowd for us, similar to what MSU and Arizona will have against us.  We aren't playing those games for the privilege of playing in Phoenix or Detroit.  We're playing there to 1) get TV money and exposure and 2) play a quality opponent.  Just like someone would get playing us in Tulsa, NLR or Memphis.  Cal would have played those games in Grand Rapids or Flagstaff if the networks paid up.

No big team wants to come to North Little Rock or Tulsa. TV is not enough of a draw to make those cities attractive. Any game those teams play is going to be on TV anyway. Why not be on TV somewhere they actually want to go?

It's negotiation.   We go to their place, they come to ours.  The money will be the same regardless.

Say it's Gonzaga.  "Nah we'd rather play Arizona in Denver. Thanks though."

We don't yet have the leverage to force teams into smaller venues just to play us.

I think we do.  Maybe not the program itself, but Cal does.

Ah, thanks for the clarity.

Yeah, the ACC/SEC challenge alternates home/away every year. We'll get a home game next year in the challenge.

The Finn won't suit up or play this weekend.

RE: NLR Simmons Verizon Alltel Nabholtz Arena

 My understanding the built-in cameras are pretty outdated unless something has changed in the last couple years. = if I'm right it's another link in the chain of why it sucks to go there...tv money probably isn't good (there).

[Sus-Scrofa]

You win flosports, take your $30.

[Hogworth Ballington III]

Is someone going to give updates for us poors?

[jethro]

I am assuming we don't have radio, either?

[vegashog]

no radio. and flosports goes after youtube feeds pretty hard.

worth it to me to watch. even without the finn playing this team intrigues me.

[jethro]

For sure not offerred on Prime?

  I already pay them and 24 other places streaming money.

[Son of Spam]

FloSports for me in the past has been a cluster fuck. Freezes up, goes out, etc. Not worth the money in my opinion. But, I may throw caution to the wind and get it anyway.

[Bogey7]

I pay $19.99 each time it's needed and never had a streaming issue.
