I found it interesting to read the commentary by Kellis Robinet in Sundays Urinal. He wants Idaho State athletics department to spend money on technology. WOW, Boise State, University of Idaho both have whistle packs that stop the clock when they (the whistle) are blown...... mmm why would ISU need anything like that, O, on the off chance that they might be in a close game. ( which happens every leap year). Might cost a few bucks that the athletics dept don't have to spend...because they are short 900,000 dollars.
He calls for spending more money........" Starting next season every school in the Big Sky should be required to have live in game footage available for referees even if the contest isn't be televised........ MORE MONEY TO SPEND to have the Mass Comm students provide that coverage with state of the art equipment. At the cost 1,000 dollars a game. WOW two benefits from that 1,000 dollars instant reply for the referees, and mass comm students learn how to produce and set-up a live sports broadcast............its a learning experience provided by ISU to ISU students........OH my god a real life work experience..................

Division 1 athletics is no place for students to learn how to set up things. I don't have a problem with mass comm students covering the game but the thought of the officials relying on them makes me nervous. Mass comm struggles to even staff their weekly show. I think you are just asking for trouble if you hand over the reigns to a student program without a proven track record.
Thats why we need you dr phil good on our team....
Think about it seriously Jim. ISU probably has one of the better Mass Comm departments in the conference and we struggle to produce a weekly show. Keep in minds that if the conference allows us to do it than they probably will allow other schools to do it as well. I don’t think you understand the magnitude of division one athletics. People actually bet, legally, on the outcome of these games. Again, I have no problem with students working the game for Big Sky TV but we should leave some things to the professionals.
