RPI at UAH 12/30/10

Re: RPI at UAH 12/30/10

Was there a scoring change on RPI's first goal?

UAH's LiveStats indicates RPI goals scored by Bailen and O'Grady, with the UAH goal scored by Tom Durnie.

It just really bugs me that we signed a multi-year exclusive deal with this terrible service provider. RPITV puts on a much better show with zero financial support from the athletics department - if we turned the revenue stream over to them they could presumably budget in at least some road trips etc. to minimize the impact of losing the few road games that we currently get on B2 like this one (not that they even matter much since the feed is so awful - and that's when it's not stopping constantly ugh).

I can't argue with any of that. But what bothers me the most is the lousy service. You would think that RPI would get involved in pressuring them to improve the service. :mad::(

As always, thanks for the support!

We have been in a number of discussions with the athletics department and even a few members of the presidents cabinet about this, and we have really been stonewalled by the athletics department. They have signed this contract (without ever mentioning it to us; lasts until June 2012) and say that their hands are tied and they cannot allow us to stream. I have seen the contract, and know that this is not really true. The most frustrating part is that it seems I have been having to fight them to do this, even though I am confident that it would serve them better (the money they make is so small as to be inconsequential), and that it would work better and be more beneficial for the fans, parents, alumni, students, school and THEM!! I think we could easily get a thousand people watching every single game online, live, if we were to stream it.

We (meaning I, most likely) am going to ask if we (assuming we can get enough crew; I think we can) can stream the Clarkson / St. Lawrence games on Jan 7th and 8th. I will let everybody know how this goes, and if we can do it, or if I need everyones help to pass their support for RPI TV streaming to the athletics department. Maybe it will mean more coming from people other than me!
