The NCAA (and perhaps Flo Track, perhaps) are also this not-so-well-thought-out Pizza Hut campaign launching this weekend at NCAAs. It's a national campaign....and they will be doing this with a bunch of sports.
Won't the runners be fired up to have THE Shane Battier handing out pizza at the race.

How is the NYT biased? Examples, please, not just same ill-formed platitudes such as "the MSM is biased toward the left".
The reporting is top notch. They are one of the few outlets left with bureaus around the world. Is their Op-Ed page somewhat liberal? Yes, but so what. Do you not trust WSJ reporting because their Op-Ed is extremely conservative?
A noun is a word that identifies a person, animal, place, thing, or idea. In which I am identifying the NYT (the thing in this case), as being bias. So correct use of English, I do believe.
And no I do not trust the WSJ. I don't trust any new outlet which has these traits. They literally brainwash their audiences.
[Face palm]
A news outlet is BIASED (adj) if it demonstrates BIAS (noun). Your usage is incorrect.
But your views on the media are even more disturbing than your grammar. Please let us know which outlets you DO trust.
So, we're seven pages deep now, and regardless of whether you think we're all cheapskates, or whether flotrack is offering a reputable product or not, can we get some concrete workaround? (As long as there has been a free market, there has been a black market.)
Anyone attending willing to post a Ustream/facebook live/youtube live link tomorrow? Ya'll with your six figure incomes should be able to afford the data for 90 minutes of streaming.
It'll be great morning tomorrow. I be drinking coffee watching NCAA'S on Flotrack.
To me the 12 buck I pay per month is cheap. I's rather pay that than not watch at all.
Like I posted on another thread our sport is not popular in the main stream media. So any coverage is better than none.
What a joke..... wrote:
In order to watch the NCAA Championships, you must now sign up for a Flotrack pro subscription. In years past watching the NCAA championships online was free and available to everyone, and now these money hungry d-bags are trying to charge us to watch it. As much as they might say otherwise, putting a paywall over things that should be readily available is terrible for the sport.
Discus.
Still never getting a FloPRo subscription. They handled the whole paid subscription rollout a few years ago pretty terribly and lost my money forever. They were much too combative during the roll-out for me to want to support them.

This is simply not true--unpopular maybe, but it wasn't as if the sport had no coverage until flotrack came along. If you limit the sport to exclusively cross country, even then, I'm not an oldold runner, and I can recall watching Nike Team Nationals on national television within the last decade. FSN has had the rights, as well as NBC and CBS, for nats, and that's all within the past ten years as well.
Great for you but I can't afford it with 3 kids. Because a scumbag like me won't pay Flotrack they infiltrate NCAA and shut us all down so we are all supposed to give money to Flotrack. Just wait for the results and watch it on youtube at some time.

He said it's not working out so well. That's clearly what I was refuting. You try again.

Same here. As you get older, you realize watching something you like is more important than a few dollars.
I would gladly pay if they didn't put out garbage coverage and if their subscription protocols weren't unethical.

I have no problem paying and have for as long as it has been required.
My problem is in the content and the inability to broadcast the event with any insight into the sport. I am forced to mute and watch.

Why isn't their website updated? or do you still go to NCAA.org to watch?
If letsrun would've done what was the next level to their empire .... they could've owned LRC and purchased flotrack or made letsrunTV ... then it would've "flotrack...? What's that?" Instead here you sit pissing in your pants. On top of that why do you hate flotrack for making some $$$$ ..?
Is there a chance that the race will be free to watch after it is over? I think that some old races on flotrack used to be free after the event ended.
It's an ad running on Youtube at the beginning of videos for Flotrack's NCAA coverage. I just saw it, myself.
You don't need me wrote:On top of that why do you hate flotrack for making some $$$$ ..?
Cause they are sketchy.
Don't care how many Flotrack employees post how they would pay gladly on here. Its a 28 minute race once a year. Its all about money. They make me sick.
