Why No Television Coverage For Division II Blue Cross Championship

[coachctm]

Can somebody explain to me why the Division II championship games were not televised like the Division I games? Both are sponsored by Blue Cross and under TSSAA.

Good question.

I presume they believe it wouldn't get the ratings.

I wouldn't watch! I think everyone who would want to watch would be at the game.

I watched 4 out of the 5 D-1 games.

OK..so if you think that everyone who would want to watch would be at the game, does it make sense that you watched the games on tv and weren`t there?

Sure because the majority of the State does not have any ties to D-II teams. Who wants to watch the Memphis Championship game?(D-II, AAA)

He asked and he is the answer that many in the State would say in person.

When the reply was rating's, what do you thin that refers to?

 

BTW-Most folks don't even know who won in D-II. I know Webb was in the finals but that's the only team mentioned on the news in the Knox area.

D-II has become about as exciting as the old city championships but with less teams. LOL

 

IMO-it's about the same as D-1 vs D-II college FB when it comes to the folks who would want to watch it.

 

Is it true that T$$AA picked the name of the Divisions and that D-II stands for second rate.

Just joking! Good luck to all but I'm one of those who really does not like the split and miss the old days of the AAA State Champion and seeing teams like Father Ryan, MBA, Brentwood, CBHS, McCallie etc, playing for the big prize.
