Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2472357, member: 5798"] Blake, your concept has merit. The CBS Sports Network may not have the partnership agreement, or working relationship with UConn and it's athletic program to present this monumental event and do it justice. I agree with your proposal. SNY has an investment in this university, and is more closely aligned with it. It can produce pre and post-game pieces and interviews to mark this occasion that CBS Sports will not. Would the local audience be more comfortable with Eric, Meghan and Justine, or two strangers randomly assigned to do the game? Present and memorialize this game the way it should be. You only get one change to get this right. I'm sure the event staff at UConn has already planned something for that evening. It would be nice if the TV audience could be a part of it as well. CBS Sports has the broadcasting rights to this game, but does that preclude SNY from being present and provide pre and post game coverage to it's audience? This once in a lifetime event/celebration should be done and captured in the spirit of the moment. Once that moment is gone, it's gone. SNY can step up and fill in the gaps with vintage and live interviews and clips of former players/coaches and game clips that CBS does not have access to, and cannot possibly duplicate. [/QUOTE]
