If you read the previous posts, you...acshsdu17:<br /><br />If you read the previous posts, you'll understand why DU is scaling back on hockey and upping basketball broadcasts.<br /><br />When you are paying for TV time, you need the best return on that investment. They obviously feel that a 50/50 split between hockey and hoops is the right ratio at this point in time to match their strategic goal of growing basketaball and maintaining hockey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-48862913706037948262012-09-12T21:14:17.117-06:002012-09-12T21:14:17.117-06:00Why so little games?

The sad reality is that TV audiences for DU sports are low, so it's no wonder that DU is splitting it's limited TV budget trying to get more traction for hoops.<br /><br />DU hockey is pretty maxed out on the finacial contirbution it can make, whereas basketball can produce a higher revenue ceiling if they make it the NCAAs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-18342523781533975562012-09-12T10:57:39.007-06:002012-09-12T10:57:39.007-06:00The downward trend in games televised is a bit con...The downward trend in games televised is a bit concerning. <br /><br />Does anyone know if this is DU cutting back?
