DaveH Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 but how will steve peddy put food on his table??!!?? I am not sure how much the university get's for televised games, if anything. I would highly doubt a university gets a cut of the pay per view revenue. I am not sure, but I don't think so. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 This is great for recruiting, because players will want to be nationally televised as much as possible. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 This is great for recruiting, because players will want to be nationally televised as much as possible. Were nebraska, were always on tv, it's nothing different. Quote Link to comment
RedCountry Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 This is great for recruiting, because players will want to be nationally televised as much as possible. Were nebraska, were always on tv, it's nothing different. I wouldnt say that. More and more over the past few yrs we have started to slip from primetime spots. Only this yr have more mainstream media started talking bout us again.. apparently the WCO and callahan are more marketable.. or is it just the newness?? We will see after this yr if Call maintains the level of electricity and interest he is generating for us at this point. So like the others said any exposure we can get is free advertising for us and shouldnt be taken for granted. Quote Link to comment

There was one game last year that wasn't on tv and that was troy state and there was one game in Iowa state that was on pay per view. Get your facts down. Quote Link to comment

RedCountry Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I could get my facts down... or you could read my post a little better. I think eric got it. you might not realize it if you live in lincoln or Omaha, but if you live outside the midwest you know that very few of our games are on nationally. and where do you think the majority of our target recruits are from these days? not the midwest. I said "primetime spots" meaning ABC at 2:30, ESPN gameday, night games on national tv et al. not this 11 am on FSN with Jim Bob Dykes doing our game crap. that is garbage hour and the REAL recruits are watching Florida every week on ABC 2:30 naional.

Whole nation watching it I believe. Plus we had 4 games that were either on abc at 230 or on tbs at 6 pm. Plus colorado game which everyone sees on abc. Quote Link to comment

AR Husker Fan Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Living well outside of Nebraska, I can attest to the fact that the last couple of years the number of NU appearances has dwindled. This year seems the exception - I hope it lasts. Quote Link to comment

This year seems the exception - I hope it lasts. read my post above. You should have been able to see around 5 games which is quite a few nationally. Quote Link to comment
