re: Alleva says Geaux Zone is done

No SEC games in any sport will be able to be seen by fans unless ESPN is covering it direct. No more Tiger Vision, nothing. The general consensus is that this deal is good for the conference as a whole, with the individual schools getting a huge piece of the pie, but bottom line for the fans is that local coverage of local teams will no longer exist in any form. Using this wkend's series with the gators: all 3 games now being shown. That will never happen again unless ESPN shows them all, and that would leave the rest of the league off the tube that wkend. Aleva commented on 104.5 yesterday that all schools had to make sacrifices for the good of the conference. Without being specific, this is an example of what he meant for LSU baseball fans in particular.

So there is no "school specific" coverage, not even digitally? That means tier 3 has been eliminated in the SEC. Definitely bad for the fans, but I guess good for the schools. All of this, so that I can now watch a UGA vs Missouri women's volleyball match!

Horrible! I watched maybe 20-25 baseball games on GeauxZone this year. Saw the rest in person or on CST/Fox, etc.
Do you think ESPN will pick up the early Feb and Mar preseason games? Midweek games vs. Tulame and ULLLLL? No way.
So instead of an LSU baseball fan being able to see 40-45 games a year, we will be able to see 10-15 at most.
75 total games broadcasted/14 league teams X 2 = 11.
Oh, and I will get to pay MORE to Cox, DirectTV for the privilege.
"But it will help recruiting cause a gymnast in Alaska will see LSU on TV and want to be a Tiger!"
