4 minute package of highlights from Friday's game - enjoy ! (why can I find these but the HC sid office can't to post on our site ?) Imagine the fact that it’s a PC Friars hockey video may be impacting HCs ability to put it on their web site. Also FWIW, can’t find the video or a link to it on the PC website either.

Looked it up. October 15, 2016. HC 2, #11 Providence 1 (OT). HC scores a third period goal to tie it at 1 and then won it in OT. Along with the win vs Union in 2016, this now gives Bedard two more wins vs Top 25 teams (3) than wins in the Atlantic Hockey Tournament (1), along with a higher winning percentage: .250 vs .090.

Tasks that were previously assumed to be under the analog, print model, 20 century responsibilities of an SID have changed. Just as major corporations operate a different organizational model from 10, 20 or 30 years ago. College and university D1 Athletic Departments have evolved in their strategic and tactical business models for operations, marketing, finance, fan engagement, digital strategy, facilities to separate responsibilities that are based on a need for their institution. Until recently Holy Cross was mired in inertia in not recognizing and implementing a 21st century, operating model for the Athletics. Go on the web sites for Patriot League, Ivy League, A10, schools and you can see how they operate. Needless to say, P6 conference schools are even more staff intensive regarding their needs for digital strategy to meet the needs for network affiliations and data transmission. I worked for a major fortune 100 company that every fall went through a series of reorganizations that the stated purpose was to increase efficiency. Many of us were cynical regarding their rationale was to satisfy the street and institutional investors regarding their agility as a company. Staff intensity has increased at: A) The same rate attendance has declined. B) At a faster rate than attendance has declined.

HC can't just post those on their site. Would need permission to do so. I literally put the link to HC's twitter with their highlights cut...Most schools share the video for both teams with something called SnappyTV or something similar. The SID or staffer can cut clips extremely fast from the game broadcast to post quickly to social media.

The SID or staffer can cut clips extremely fast from the game broadcast to post quickly to social media. Very familiar with Snappy. Our office uses it extensively. Also aware of schools sharing video. Back to haze's point, he found the highlights on a Providence YouTube channel and wondered why he didn't find it on an HC site. My point was HC can't just take that video for its use without Providence's permission. Yes, almost all of the time schools cooperate with one another in this fashion and it's never a problem, but not without some kind of understanding up front or an ask.

OK, did HC ask? If not, why not? If yes they did, were they turned down? If they were, why? This is not a huge deal, but I will be glad when HC ho key has other wins to look at in highlights.

Guys - as was pointed out (and posted) by bfoley82 six posts above this one, Holy Cross Men's hockey posted the highlights on twitter and Holy Cross athletics retweeted it.
If they are not on the website it would seem a decision was made not to post them there. And that is consistent with what other "big time" programs are doing. There is a story on the PC win on the HC website without the video and so I suspect with mobile devices booming vs. PCs, using twitter get's a lot more eyeballs and possibly is less expensive than hosting and using the bandwidth on your own website for videos. But that's a guess.
The world is evolving rapidly and though I don't think they are going away, a web page is a bit akin to newpapers when it comes to breaking news. A Twitter-feed is a much faster way to get your news and message out there and seen - particularly with a younger demographic - than a website. And to illustrate that, there have been almost 2500 views of the goal on Instagram and 1300+ of the highlights on Twitter. I can almost guarantee you that the Website doesn't get that kind of traffic in a week. It's all about directing your resources to where it will have an impact.
All that said, it would be good for the Athletics website to have a Twitter & Instagram feed on the home page much like the main HolyCross.edu home page - so when news is posted, it gets visibility there.

8485, a very reasoned argument but there is a small flaw as your starting premise is wrong IMHO. While the tweeter-in-chief is well over 70 years old, he is the exception for that (my) generation and we all know that at 71 I bring down the average age of Holy Cross fans. I don't tweet, don't have a Facebook or Instagram account. I had a Facebook account when it first came out and my much younger sister told me that I was "too old" for one and after reflection, I agreed, closed it and never looked back. Of course, she has an account. With all the issues with privacy, ID theft, etc. I am not inclined to join anything more than Crossports (woo-woo!) And my Classmates somehow think I am on the cutting-edge of social media/technology. You and I both know better. So, you would think Holy Cross would want to cater to its fans (yeah, the old guys) as the younger generation is not the one that buys the tickets to Fitton/Hart. I stipulate that we'll all eventually die off and the future is the next generation(s) and you have to market to them too. But until Holy Cross athletics catches on with the youngins, don't abandon the current fans.

I'll bet some of you not only still read the newspaper but have it delivered to your home as well! I certainly recognized that problem and thus my comment about having the Twitter & Instagram feed on the holycross.edu home page. I'll use my enviable and significant position of influence as a Holy Cross son, alumnus, brother, husband, and 2x parent this weekend and see what I can do to help out our less tech aware fans and alums. In the mean time, rather than complaining into cyberspace, anyone else can drop a note to Alison Crandall, Assistant Director of Athletics/Content & Digital Strategy, ( acrandal@holycross.edu ) and ask her if anything can be done to make such highlights more readily available.

That would require someone to use email and that's too "cutting edge" for me. Besides, I wasn't the one to make the complaint.

The social media links to the primary HC Athletics account, as well as the team based accounts are on the main HC Athletics web site: GoHolyCross.com. Scroll down the page to Connect and Share and click the purple rectangle - View Social Media. The link will take you to the Official Athletic Accounts Holy Cross Digital for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat. www.goholycross.com/ViewArticle.dbml?db_oem_id=33100&ATCLID=210235795&key=The link will also provide access to the Individual Team Social Media accounts. www.goholycross.com/ViewArticle.dbml?db_oem_id=33100&ATCLID=210235795&key=The information is there, you just have to know where to look. No different than opening up the business section of a newspaper, and expecting to find the comics. It is a matter of the efficiency in use of hosting media, and the use Holy Cross based private cloud servers vs the established social media servers in the public cloud. I will not digress further in explaining private vs public cloud efficiency, cost and privacy. It could get very boring for non nerds and geeks. 🤣😎

I can tell you from my other twitter account (@cb_Daily) that I get many more eyeballs on my twitter than the website nowadays.
