Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 2303946, member: 2504"] I don't know for certain. In recent years there seem to have been a couple of students who seemed greatly interested in doing UConn soccer. However, the students who did the games in the past have pretty much gone and graduated. As evidence, it seemed to me that John Tuite did a lot of solo home men's games the last few years, so that would also indicate to me a lack of interest by WHUS student announcers in doing soccer. I think this could be the main problem. Of course, classes don't start until next week, so students aren't around yet either. As far as the budget goes, I sent an email about a week ago to the WHUS sports director inquiring about posting a game broadcast schedule on the WHUS website. He said all home soccer games will be covered. As far as road games, he was waiting for a WHUS budget meeting to be held that week before completing the sports broadcast schedule. That seemed to me that was getting too close to the fall sports season to be making those decisions. I would have thought a decision like that should have been made a bit earlier in the summer well before the fall sports schedule was ready to start. I'm guessing if there were student broadcasters who were really interesting in doing soccer, they might have looked for a decision before last week. Of course, it could also be the inexperience in such decisions on the part of a new sports director and his broadcast team, none of whom have broadcasted all that many soccer matches. [/QUOTE]
