The fact that Stanford is allowing flotrack to charge $20 for a meet is absurd. It shows they don't care about track. If they did, they'd film it themselves but instead they farm it off to someone else and let them charge for it.
Commentating a track meet is hard but i'd like them to set up a camera, turn it on and just show the race - no commentary except the loud speakeer. That costs zero and I'd be happy to pay $6.95 for it like it costs for other Stanford events (Stanford premium access is $6.95 per month or $69.95 per year whereas flotrack is $20/$150).
I suggest you email the people in charge at Stanford like I am.
