Somebody help me, because I don't know: why is this big time?

[Cajunfanatico]

Someone splain all this to me. I'm slow tonight, well, slower than usual I guess.

[Turbine]

This may sound like it is coming out of left FIELD but I'm LEARy.

But not necessarily in that order.

For a peer comparison, Arkansas State signed with Learfield in 2016 to a 10 year $16 million contract.

Big time, like Penn StatE,UNC,OSU, OU, IU,MISSOU, THE U...ETC. And, they've merged with IMG...

For those wondering why this matters, it was a part of the Alden Report and it goes beyond just radio broadcast. It's a full multimedia/marketing partnership.

"Create a competitive marketplace for expanded UL programming and set the stage for bringing in a multimedia agency to maximize revenues and resource … Revamp and regain control of media distribution."

This was Alden's suggestion in his report

Such a partner would work with the school to sell advertising, corporate sponsorships, signage and digital content. Maggard was determining just what sports-related money-making assets UL has to sell sponsors and media partners.

That could be anything as small as ad space on team-schedule cards and posters to bigger-bucks possibilities such as advertising on internet, radio and television platforms.

What a bummer. KPEL was just about to get those mic problems resolved.

Really? versus an overtalker that won't shut up......Jay calls a good game. I've been living in several states throughout my career and heard many other teams broadcast across the country.....we got ourselves a pretty darn good play by play guy.

I agree with that, though he does have me checking my internet connection from time to time.

Yeah. It would be a bittersweet day to lose Jay. He calls a great game.

[Crawfish]

I guess I just do not understand what is going on. Does anyone know what this means to fans? Will all of the sports still be broadcast on radio and internet?

When I click on that link, it is unreadable.

I agree, the Jay Walker calls a good game.
