Spring Game?

The BTN is starting to be like the SECN. They should just switch the name to The Alabama Network.

This is more clear evidence of anti Iowa bias by the btn. 2 years in a row they git this wrong and that is unacceptable. We wait for 4 months to watch this and they don't show it on TV, how lame! What the big 10 network should do is add sub channels dedicated to each school. This makes sure that all programs get shown on TV. I am sick and tired of them picking their favorites and leaving the rest of us out.

This troll is hungry.
 
why would ESPN go to DesMoines and televise a scrimmage at a high school. If a program wishes to be on TV, you would think they would at least play it in their stadium, wear game uniforms and create some semblance of a game atmosphere. KF and GB do none of that. They are very provincial in their thinking about promoting Iowa football. A few hundred people in central Iowa love Iowa coming to a high school. The rest of the people just see it a more slipping into irrelevance.

Do you not realize that the practice they do at Valley didn't replace the Spring game? They do both.

I guess I didn't realize that. Honestly, just not following the news that closely. Pretty uninformed post by me. I blend in well here in that regard.

With the BTN bias I'm more surprised that we have any games at all televised. They clearly don't value the number of tv sets in Iowa or the University of Iowa. We're not a large population base but I wouldn't put Nebraska in that category. If all of the carriers of the BTN dropped it because of a lack of televising Iowa events the BTN would change its programming. Unfortunately with the way sports packaging is sold we would have to give up watching our games without the BTN. We live in a day and age where we have so many options yet in some incidents we are handcuffed with our options.
 
This is much to do about nothing. If Kirt wanted the game to be on the BTN, it would be. Kirt doesn't want publicity for the program of any kind. After all, media attention can't help recruiting or anything. Instead, let's close fort Kinnick, schedule the weakest non-conference schedule possible, refuse to play on the west coast, and shy away from night games. This is what makes a dynasty.
