Message: [QUOTE="Kauffmak10, post: 3085486, member: 3503"] As for the being stuck in the AAC: Yes, it’s sucks.. BUT you gotta remember the conference is still in it’s infancy as a conference. It was bound to struggle getting started, just like a lot of new businesses do. New businesses don’t get the same treatment from banks that longer established businesses get.. Gotta make good decisions and put the time in. We need to remember it’s a similar process with getting a conference off the floor.. We live in a world that wants/needs instant action but not everything works like that. If everyone’s biggest worry about the media contract is not being in front of recruits eyes, we’re thinking about it in the wrong way.. Do you realize how kids (recruits) watch tv these days? I’m more than willing to bet over half of them already stream (whether on their phones, computers or other streaming devices) more than traditional cable boxes. This percentage will do nothing but rise in the near future. Traditional ESPN channel vs. ESPN+ doesn’t hold the weight it once did.. they’re both on the ESPN app and recruits will always have pretty easy access to the ESPN+ version whether they pay for it or just borrow a friends login info. I work in the A/V in industry and see it happening in people’s homes everyday.. I would also be willing to bet that within 5-10 years it will ALL be via steaming. Cable boxes are dying off.. [/QUOTE]
