Amen!  The absolute worst!  TSSAA needs to cut ties.  Total incompetence.  I know it's all about the almighty dollar but this is a pitiful money grab.

interestin how all those things showed back up when T$$AA was bein discussed

Booger just sayin

TSSAA has contract with NFHS and they have the right to the game if they can broadcast it.  This blocks out the school's ability to livestream like they do during the regular season.  If NFHS is unable to do the game, the school can pay the $750 fee and livestream it with their own production.  I'm part of ESBN (BA livestream) and we've been allowed to do audio only when NFHS has been involved where we have camera on scoreboard and produce it like it's on the radio.   Last week MyTV30 did the game and NFHS was supposed to pick up the feed for out of town folks.  Many paid the $13 monthly subscription fee and there was no feed.  An absolute disaster!  This week, we're back and the response has been overwhelming.  NFHS sucks and it's just a TSSAA money grab.

I gotta give USJ credit on TV broadcast. The quality is amazing , I'm not sure of what or how they do and I'm sure it was a big investment.

all three privates in Jackson use the same production company with the TCA broadcast being the most independently produced.

Jackson still has two schools alive in the playoffs  that produce their own broadcasts. However, neither one will be able to live stream thanks to the TSSAA contract with an out of state company (NFHS). In fact, the JCS at NCS game was going to be live streamed by both NCS on You Tube and JCS on Facebook. Both entities were going to have to pay the $750 rights fee. Unfortunately,  the NFHS is coming in with a crew to broadcast this as some sort of game of the week.  JCS was told that they could do an audio only stream only and they would only be allowed to broadcast from the visitors stands. In fact, the JCS coaching staff is even being kicked out of the press box and they will have to work from the visitors stands at well because of the NFHS presence. The NCS broadcasters are also being ejected from the press box as well because of the NFHS presence.  This is absolutely Bush League for the TSSAA to allow this to happen. Contract or not. I urge all people to boycott any and all NFHS broadcasts. If your school uses NFHS as a broadcast entity, please contact your administrators and encourage them to drop NFHS as a broadcast partner and seek out other more profitable and higher quality options. Finally, call the TSSAA office and express your displeasure with the NFHS directly to Matthew Gillespie who is the TSSAA communications director. You may also want to contact individual members of the TSSAA board of control. I would also contact your state legislators and voice displeasure with them as well. 

Unless we rise in mass against this monopoly, things will only get harder and the NFHS will gain more control while the TSSAA laughs all the way to the bank.

Agreed.  ESBN does a great job- even showing many replays and highlights of them beating my Pope-sters 38-7 last week

This is pathetic.

They should have to refund everyone. What a joke.

I’m going to ask for a refund, and if that fails, will try to reverse the charge on my credit card. Total waste. Will be calling the TSSAA as well.

Tried to use them for Catholic’s basketball game last night to do stats…. Technical issues for the entire game. Camera was down.
