You think it's too expensive. You think the cost shouldn't go up. You think it should be a la carte, and you shouldn't have to pay for that expensive engine or seats or handling. You just want the BMW logo.

You're ignoring that the cable conglomerates make a shit ton of money off those channels that YOU will "never watch."

But other people do. And they make money off of those people. Like how the CORPORATE SPONSORS know that they will reach a wider audience, so advertising with KU becomes more valuable, which helps the university attract richer sponsors and sign them to better deals.

And shit, man, the deal might be bad for some of you. It might be bad, period. But constantly bitching about it when there are numerous, easy solutions is just annoying as ****.

Bringing it up every time a game is on that channel is getting old, there's only so much to rehash.

It's hard to argue against it being too expensive/cost shouldn't go up/etc and then say they make a shit ton of money.

Your analogy sucks. I have both of those things... one which was purchased after considering all competitors, price ranges, options, etc; and I couldn't be happier. The other was purchased after considering the one or two other options that equally sucked. FFS, TWC didn't even offer 50 or 100mbps internet until Google Fiber came along, so they take their foot off the hose and sell it like they've made huge investments for the customer, but really only because they finally have some competition.

As a fan since i can remember (having grown up in Lawrence), the last couple of years I've felt extremely detached from the program\team. And it is directly a result from the inability to view these early games. Being a local, always loved rushing home to watch every KU game, all the time. Just don't have that anymore.

Anyway... it sucks for those of us it has blackballed, and on the flip side I'm sure a few non-locals are happy. It is the way of the world, we'll get over it.

That's just the Perry effect.

I've been able to watch every game. Let me tell you you're not missing much. This non-con schedule sucks balls.

BWillie · 12-21-2015, 01:02 PM

KU currently 5th in Kenom. But, 31st in RPI. Yikes. I imagine that will change when we go through our tougher (compared to other conferences) conference slate.

Conference RPI
1. Big 12
2. Pac-12
3. Big East
SEC
5. Atlantic Coast
6. Big Ten

Real surprised to see the Big 10 so far down the list, they seem to have some decent squads to me.

What people are missing is the ascension of Bragg. The future, I should call him.

Part of what makes the non-con look bad is playing UK at the end of January... if that was a week after Maui, it wouldn't look nearly as soft.

Which begs the question: if it's such a brilliant idea, why isn't anyone else copying us?

TambaBerry · 12-21-2015, 08:12 PM

That deal he made was God awful, I'm not sure how anyone can defend it. If he actually made a lot of money I wouldn't care, but forcing your main fan base to have to have one service to see the games is bullshit.

ArrowheadHawk · 12-21-2015, 08:24 PM

Good god, stop the bitching. If you want to watch the game buy the correct service, go to a bar or buddies house or watch the replay on Espn3.
