Apparently our mass com department doesn't want to help like they do at other institutions like ACU. Ryan isn't happy about current situation, but will continue to work on improving.
There is lots of history here...V can explain it better but I know that the athletics dept has not always wanted to 'play nice' with mass comm & radio/TV. It goes back many, many moons.
I was a Radio/TV major and got involved because one of my instructors, who was in charge of it at that time, asked if anyone was interested. I did camera for the basketball games when all we had was the projector, three cameras, and a switcher. Shot football and other sports for the end of the year banquets and the short lived coaches show with Mike Santiago.
I was on the crew when we first got the big board for both basketball and football. We had a decent crew by the time I left and then the university made some changes and the few people that were in charge were let go.
I had a great time doing it. It would be a great opportunity for our students so not sure why the mass comm department doesn't want to work with athletics.
Just like PurpleOut there are so many things with the broadcast that drives me crazy especially them not balancing the cameras so they all look the same.
If I had time I would volunteer to go help but I'll be lucky to get down to one game this year.
