orumom Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I think I had a discussion with someone about this before. Maybe my son told me about it. My memory recalls that Cox has to be paid X dollars to do the broadcast. I think we talked about this when we played at SMS last year. Scott Higgins is the contact for this but it will take about $10k to get it done. Someone also has to be willing to sell the advertising to help cover the costs. It would actually be nice to get the details on what exactly needs to be done. I could be totally off on that above number, but that's what my memory recalls. It's not cheap, but maybe it's something the booster club and the athletic department should start planning. The ORU-IUPUI game is definately TV worthy.

rlh Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I don't know the exact costs, but you're pretty close Mom....You need to hire a company to produce it, although I would think with the Oral Roberts facilities that shouldn't be a problem, then get underwriters or sponsors to support the cost..I would guess you could do it for a little less than $10K, but probably at least 6-8K.....That's the problem with not having the Mid-Con network anymore, games like this don't get done....it's unfortunate, but most schools in the conference (except ORU, Valpo, UMKC) didn't want to put any money into the TV package since they have no outlets. Oakland and IUPUI should have outlets that would carry the games, but apparently couldn't work out deals this year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
