Let the NCAA know you appreciate the live video

March 17, 2008 at 11:07 AM - 3 comments - link

Every year we track & field fans seem to complain about the coverage of our sport. Either it's too delayed on ESPN, they never show all the events or it's simply "dumbed" down for the fans.

Well, this year's NCAA Division I Indoor Championships proved to be much different in terms of live coverage. They actually offered live, FREE video over the internet of the meet. I know they could have panned over to the field events more often. However, when there are at times 3 events going on at once, it's impossible to have the video feed live on every attempt/race.

Even more, they allowed us to live blog the events in real time, unlike other sites where you had to manually refresh your own browser to follow the action.

Please do me a favor and send a thank you note to the following people for allowing this to make it happen. We've sent complaints in the past, so let's offer some positive feedback this time. Thank you!

Wonderful coverage. We attended the meet on Sunday, but appreciated the coverage on Saturday since we weren't able to be there in person. I've already sent my emails to both. A HUGE thank you to you also for all that you do to promote college track and field. You are PRICELESS!!!
