By the way, Colgate plays a home exh game tonight vs. Canisius for the hurricane relief fund. I know we have a young team but I wonder what efforts (if any) were made by us to get an extra exh game, once the NCAA sanctioned them. I hope there is a good reason we didn't get it done, either home or away. makes sense esp if it's a home game to show case the Luth

Did we ever get an answer why the game isn't streamed tonight?

Did we ever get an answer why the game isn't streamed tonight? So we don't have any film out on all of our secret weapons out before our marquee matchup with Sacred Heart next week?

No audio, either. I hope Woo Gray, NAD, Tom, and Clock provide detailed reports.

Did we ever get an answer why the game isn't streamed tonight? Is it standard practice for mid-majors to stream exhibition games? It looks like Penn St/Lafayette will be streamed, but I don't think Bucknell/Towson was

Aside from knowing why the game isn't being streamed, I would LOVE to see the math that went into the decision to charge $6 per ticket for a team that was below .500 each of the latest three seasons to play a game that doesn't count against a D2 team.
These games used to be (and always should be) free.

It costs less than a regular season game because it is an exhibition (which does sound a bit more accurate than "a game that doesn't count") PS: I also feel it should be free, but there may be reasons why it is not.

Exhibitions are different from scrimmages Stonehill was a scrimmage Assumption is an exhibition

The work "exhibition" always conjured up the word "free" in my mind, at least when it came to sports events. So, when I have doubts, I go to the dictionary and here's what I found:
So, no mention of "free" and on further consideration, when there is an art "exhibition," oftentimes that means the artist is selling his art.
Roundabout way of saying, yeah, I think they should be free as they have been in the past but for season ticket holders, admission is included in the price and therefore, sorta "free." Of course in my mind, "Buy One, Get One Free" is an oxymoron. You don'g get the second until you've purchased the first . . . . hardly "free." In this case, even for season ticket holders, this one isn't free but definitely the most interesting pre-season game in years as there are so many questions to be answered.

Off to the Palace for a grinder, then on to the Hart for what should be an interesting evening of hoops.

These games used to be (and always should be) free. i'm with you on the part about questioning the math behind this and that it should have been free. what will the $6 admission bring in, a few hundred bucks? this also cheapens the product with such a low price. i won't lose much sleep over it, but the exhibition should have been free as the chance to generate some excitement over the fresh new roster among "value-shopping" fans looking for a freebie that we might be able to hook into coming out to some of our games this year certainly outweighs a few hundred bucks of revenue.

Why not take whatever is raised and give it to Hurricane Relief efforts?

Why not take whatever is raised and give it to Hurricane Relief efforts? good idea, but if this was the plan, we should have advertised it as such.

Well, HC could always get coverage of their efforts after they completed them. It could still be a PR plus.

Free stream on exhibitions and $5 a game during season if the stream gives you a full game.
