D3 All-Americans Watch

Re: D3 All-Americans Watch

Don't forget The Worldwide Leader has enough networks to be within spitting distance of "The Ocho"...never said it would be on the main net or "The Duece"...there's U, Classic, News, W...along with ESPN3 online.....but their production values would be much better than what ncaa.com hired to do the women's semis in Platty yesterday. Let's hope it wasn't a package deal with the Minny...

Re: D3 All-Americans Watch

There is guarantee that E$PN would televise D3 hockey if it was at the same venue as D1.

That's the claim for the one year a combined championship almost happened, which was in 2012 and would have put the DIII title game in the legendary DIII hotbed of Tampa, Fla. As to the veracity of that claim...it's tough to tell. Ultimately the NCAA wised up and axed the idea and it may or may not be worth noting that the only people to ever purport the ESPN guarantee theory are the two or three people who, for reasons unbeknownst to me, wanted more than anything to see a combined championship.

If for some godforsaken reason they pair up the DI and DIII championships in the future there is nothing to indicate that this supposed guarantee from 2012 would be in play. Though...if it were we could only hope Buccigross could get slapped on PbP as the only thing worse than a title game in a place like Tampa would be Buccigross calling a title game in a place like Tampa.

I mean, if we're going to light the barn on fire...we might as well do it with a little panache.

Re: D3 All-Americans Watch

actually, ESPN holds the rights to what CBS passes on...they in turn offload the events they don't want to Turner....which is how ESPN has D1 Hockey and Lax....and why ESPN would do the D3 hockey had they successfully combined the D3 Frozen Four with D1...CBS has no interest in hockey with their BBall package now all games live across their primary networks in partnership with Turner....and yes, I have spoken to them all...and in another life I provided all the facilities they use...

WHOA! Turner does the D2 and D3 lax finals and they're at the same venue and D1. E$PN used to televise it, but the audience wasn't there. There is guarantee that E$PN would televise D3 hockey if it was at the same venue as D1.

Although, CBS Sports Network is currently airing the D1 Conference Tournaments, tonight N. Dakato vs ???. and NBC Sports is airing Hockey East, Vermont vs UMass-Lowell and next BU vs New Hampshire. It looks as if college hockey at all levels is making some inroads.

Ahhhh, interesting. I assumed espn was directly contracted to do lax and d1 puck. Learn something new every day!

CBS has the rights to all the tertiary NCAA championships. They'd be the ones to contact. In 2010 CBS Sports aired the championship game live.

I reached out to ESPN and Turner for each the prior Frozen Fours that were held in Lake Placid offering crew, talent, facilities...to no avail. We will keep trying when the tournament returns east....

Would this be a bid by a certain campus run TV station to handle the broadcasting of future D-III FF's??

It would be nice...the benefits of having a local school/campus supported by a local broadcast group...the freelance crew hired by Turner to do the men's games not likely to come out early, i.e. Get paid to do some banquet work, although I could be wrong. (Turner has been cutting back production costs the past several years, by using small flypacks, small crews and lowest bid talent....gone are the days of NEP trucks and crews that had Stanley Cup experience.....)

Re: D3 All-Americans Watch

I'm not sure where to put this, but I figured this might work

Last night NSN, Plattsburgh State, and the NCAA Women's Committee decided to Live Broadcast the Women's Final Four Banquet. Having followed DIII hockey for many years but never been behind the scenes at the "banquet" it was a pretty cool thing to see and hear the speeches, awards, guests and what not's of the banquet. Hopefully the Men's side can pick up this hopeful new tradition. If we're lucky maybe we can even get a camera in the smoke filled room a few weeks prior

Remy you are correct. When Lawne won his All-American, we were told that he had to be First Team All Conference.

I think they allow goalies to be 2nd team, but the rest have to be First Team.

But I could be wrong.
