MBB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

WOW.....UST has made the playoffs 18 of the last 19 years. Good job Fritz!!

Rumor that won't die: Video casting won't be possible next year. Minnesota (U of or the state, not sure which) has extra bandwidth this year that it is allowing MIAC schools to use to broadcast games. Next year, that loop will be closed.

To buy enough bandwidth to videocast a full season will cost roughly $10,000 per school and I doubt many will find that a good investment. One option is to make people pay 5-10 bucks to watch next season, which won't do much to defray the costs when 5 people are watching per game.

Enjoy it while it lasts fellas.

5 people ....what is this a MAC game we are talking about. I think UST draws more than that. Does anybody know which MIAC schools other than SJU allow student to enter games for free?? Is it the whole MIAC or just certain schools?

I found this new addition to the SJU website shortly after Watchmen's post.

Reading/Comprehension is NOT required to be a Johnnie.

Weird.

I think all the MIAC schools allow their students in free with ID and visiting students at a nice discount. Carleton does not charge anyone admission, student or otherwise.

If you look at the MIAC stats, I think you'll be surprised to see who home, road and total attendance (hint: NOT SJU)

Good thing you poste that Fins....I thought I was unable to find where WW cleverly hid the link he mentioned.   

Willy- if you meant the admission being charged tonight at SJU, that is MAIC policy. The playoffs fall under MAIC jurisdiction, not the individual school (ditto the NCAA games).

So a media pass gets you in free, still?

oAs.

Sorry Willy I will read more carefully next time. I guess you were talking about people watching over the internet. 

[Willy Wonka]

Ok, I'll bite. What's this "MAIC" the old-timer keeps mentioning? Is that what the league used to be called back in the 1940's or is that just his Alzheimer's kicking in again?

[Kilted Rat]

Is anyone going to be able to hit me up with score updates tonight?

I'm in the library studying and I forgot headphones so I won't be able to listen in 

[SofaKing]

I am kinda out of the loop but can I watch the games over the internet throughout the playoffs? If so, How, and Where?

[Kilted Rat]

Put on a fake 'stache, tell the Zag-o-copter you're Adam Morrison and they'll take you to the games.

[Touchdown Tommy]

KR, your old buddy TDT to the rescue...38-22 at the half, Johnnies are dominating.

[Kilted Rat]

As would be expected!

Thank you, keep 'em coming!
