Totally agree. I find it hard to believe, considering our strong tradition in sports broadcast journalism, that a pure Bobcat would not have been available.

I feel the same way, but honestly guys...I'm just glad we can watch all of the games now. We've come a long way in this department.

"We've" isn't entirely accurate. It's ESPN finally getting off their asses and installing all the equipment necessary for the broadcasts that they promised when the MAC signed the deal around 3 years ago. They SLOWLY implemented the stuff school-by-school....and in their infinite wisdom, had Ohio towards the bottom of that list. Schools with crummy followings like Ball State and NIU and Miami were up and running long before Ohio.

Just another reason why I despise the ESPN/MAC relationship. We are just a old, ratty sweatshirt that sits at the bottom of their closet. They get to us when it's convenient for them. Like throwing us on TV for football on Tuesday/Wednesday when they need programming...and RARELY ever using MAC for Saturday or weeknight basketball games.

But I agree...it is nice to be able to actually watch the games now. I'm just reserved in my applause to ESPN for the luxury.

It was the individual school's responsibility to buy the equipment. Some schools, like Ball St., already had HD equipment. Ohio did not and had to clear some budget dollars for the expenditure.
