McCall Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Get that women's basketball crap out of here....Anytime it's about a UConn team being eliminated it's allowed. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Lets say adieu to the UConn Women's Team with a song that will be stuck in their head. Don't care. Don't care. Dont' care.If the men's team loses tomorrow, then it's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Bunky Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It's terrible that NCAA women's basketball gets more coverage than the NHL does....but its probably because of UConn's dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong, so much is ratings driven. Want more coverage? Get better ratings. Also, I really don't think the Women's NCAA tournament gets more coverage than the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Lights Out Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 ESPN has the rights to the women's NCAA tournament. They don't have the rights to the NHL anymore.

Lights Out Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 My point is, ESPN isn't going to give more airtime than necessary to a sport that airs on a rival network. It's the same reason why their March Madness highlights this year have been, like, 2 seconds long. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same reason why their March Madness highlights this year have been, like, 2 seconds long.1)Puckheads complained incessantly about the level of NHL coverage when ESPN was carrying the NHL. I watch a ton of SportsCenter and I think NHL highlights get more burn than Women's BBall. Of course, when they are showing games, they need to do pre- and post-game stuff. Just watch ESPN during the Stanley Cup Finals. If you still tell me that Women's BBall gets more (non-game) TV time on the four-letter network, then you're either full of it, or just lying to further your agenda. 2)The NCAA's agreement with CBS/TNT/TBS/TruTV kind of limits the highlights that can be shown on other networks...Care to throw out some more bull ?

At the time, George Bodenheimer said, "given the prolonged work stoppage and the league's TV ratings history, no financial model even remotely supports the contract terms offered."2. Exactly, that is why they only air still photos during the Olympics or PPV fight which the KO is not shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeah, non-game-related TV time is in the NHL's favor for sure because they're (technically) a pro sport. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point?IIRC, the NHL pretty much told ESPN to "stick it" when they were in TV contract negotiations following the 2005 lock-out. That could also factor into why ESPN is trying to bury pro hockey.

No one wants to work for Debbie Yow.Coaches and agents are talking to Gary Williams, John Feinstein and possibly Ralph Friedgen about her. She does two things right, she balances budgets and knows basketball philosophy since she and her late sister were coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameroncrazie07 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Anyone else notice how awful the championship t-shirts are? Last years were pretty bad to with the whole "guitar pick" logo in the middle. But this one is just ridiculious, "NO. 1" really? If I was a Uconn fan I might not even buy that.
