Yeah no kidding. I mean we are playing Notre Dame. You know, the school with the football team that has its own network. They are being subjected to this too. It is not just a Pitt thing. I can't believe how silly some people are.
What is wrong with you and others? There was no need to respond to the ignorant post about Lyke. Got trolled yet you have to explain to all how ESPN operates. Concentrate on the game. You and Joey got trolled. I got a good laugh from Fredact’s post. I only offered an absurd reason that may have spawned the Lyke comment.
The problem with that is that it's pretty clear that he's not trolling. He has blamed Lyke for numerous things over the years that she has nothing to do with.
He's not trolling, he's just dumb. There's a difference.
You might want to look up the definition of troll??
You are extremely confused. Fred act isn’t trolling, he’s just an Idiot
Somebody from theACC should be on the phone about this. No one expects them to cut away from a live event that (maybe) some people are invested in, but interviews?
Do we have a contract or not? Who should have the leverage here? African basketball?
Ok I get it now. I don’t keep tabs as to who offers idiocy on the boards. My mistake and apologies to a few on here.
I totally disagree. Do you think they’d not have cut away if it was Duke? Why’d she accept that time if it was going to be preempted? Pitt, and only Pitt has ultimate responsibility for the delivery of their product to the customers. If Heather is not that person at Pitt, then who is.
No, someone at Pitt needs to be on the phone, maybe with the ACC, maybe with ESPN. But it’s Pitt’s responsibility.
Wait to they delay the Duke_NC game tonight for the late African BB game. If it goes into triple OT they can come on and tell you that coack K's team just won!!!
Accept the time? Good god, do you think that Lyke sets the times that the games are going to be played?
Conference games are played when the television networks and the conference tell you they are going to be played. Pitt has no say in the matter.
I never understand why they always have to show ends of games that home markets dont care about. Being contractually obligated to show the end of Basketball Africa League games seems like a stretch. ESPN didnt have enough leverage in that negotiation to tell BAL, "we're going to pay you to put your games on but we may shift the final 2 minutes to the app once every 10 games." Is BAL going to say, "That's unacceptable, we're taking Fox's offer."
In the relationship between ESPN and the people who own the BAL I think you have which entity has the leverage exactly backwards.
And for the record, not that that had anything to do with what happened today.
