Re: Bracketology for 2020 NCAAs - 1 year ago
Swampy Hasn't Brown co-hosted in Providence? Harvard, in Boston? RPI, in Albany? And we're talking about the regionals here, not the nationals. Providence College hosted last year. So consider: Providence College Endowment: $234.2 million Students: 4,550 (undergraduates + graduates) Faculty: At 12 students for every instructional faculty member, that's a faculty of 379 members.by Beeeej - Hockey

Still, unless Doug Murray branded the Ubertap with his name, I imagine that still wouldn't apply, and even then only to the licensing for the name, right? putting your name on a product is an endorsement, not a NIL issue.

Re: espn+ and cameras - 1 year ago
Trotsky I know I am in the minority but I liked the low cameras at Baker. It was different. There was no impeded view from fans so it was fine by me. The problem with the cast was the stuttering video and the occasional audio drop outs. OTOH I liked the Tiger announcers. The PBP guy was fair minded (although he blew Regush's name) and the color guy said some really interesting things. Iby Beeeej - Hockey

French Rage RichH But I had a good time, because I know my comfort areas, and can get away from the overstimulating noise. It also carries some nostalgia for me. On top of that, it was a well run tournament overall. Ushers were friendly and left us to sit where we pleased. They provided bands, which shows they kind of “get” what the college game is about.
