The MO West announcers were awful when I first logged in for the game trying to get their act together in the pre-game. They even booed the Bearcats as they entered the field and I'm not saying they don't need to like the Bearcats, but from an announcers point of view it was less than classy and not a way to further your career. I turned them off and of course listened to the Bearcat broadcast team. I really disliked the graphics MO West put up to advertise at the top of the screen and the huge game status setup at the bottom. It just took up to much of the screen in my opinion.

The audio thing has been addressed with the Pitt-UCO broadcast.
Another issue was the camera work. I understand these are students, but we're still paying for this crap. At least teach your students how to use a viewfinder to ensure that the ball is in the frame.
It seemed to get a little better as the game went on, but early on it was pretty bad.

Suffered through the Central Oklahoma broadcast (no audio plus terrible camera work) last Thursday. Tried the Southern - Lincoln broadcast this Thursday. No audio for much of the first quarter; the camera must be 300 yards away from the field and the players look like ants. I could not tell what was going on. Switched to the Western- Hays broadcast at 7. Picture is freezing and it says "broadcaster has stopped streaming". It finally is working in the second quarter. Big mistake to buy a season pass. MIAA broadcasts are sub-standard.

I have absolutely no problem with the student broadcasts - it's how they learn. At the same time - they are paying to learn, the MIAA is paying stream, companies are paying to advertise - why exactly am I paying to get a sub-par product? There are a lot of other conferences that stream all of their games for free. Still haven't figured out why the MIAA isn't one of them.Help out D2football.com - click on an ad

Based on the published subsription rates that's like $200,000 generated by PPV. Granted if the streaming company takes half of it and the conference office takes a quarter that leaves an average of around $3,500 each for the 14 schools.The way it's set up viewers are able to designate which school gets the income when the viewer pays the fees so some schools get a lot more and I'm sure some get a lot less. Why would you give up that source of revenue? What is the tangible advantage to the school? Because the GLVC for example lets you watch their game for free do you support that conference or any of those schools? Do you think their fans support their teams more than MIAA fans support theirs?
Schools don't let fans in the stadium for free to watch, why should they let people watch online for free?
Now if the numbers start going down significantly then I could understand going to a free broadcast to try and bring out fans. It's why most of the sports other than football and basketball are free to view.
