This would be nice for everyone to have. Is there a rule against posting it for all BGP to see?

Agree, Fieldhouse closer to me though

What do you think about the 10th and 16 th idea though, rotate between Montgomery,Mason County and Morehead,actually wouldn't bother me to have the whole thing every year at Morehead. Northern Kentucky was always a bad idea, might as well have it in Cincinnati somewhere.

Wasn't there a court case a few years back where a Courier-Journal columnist was live blogging from a NCAA tournament game and was asked to stop, refused, and was made to leave? I believe the court ruled you couldn't ban live blogging?

No reason to get nasty and put down an entire region of the state!!! Get creative, call and email the BOK, have others do the same. I am pretty sure with enough bad PR they will decide to change their minds.

In this age of communication it seems very wrong to restrict broadcasts of the games. This reminds me of Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation where the boss of the company says "It's one of those things that looked good on paper."
We need an Eddie to go kidnap whoever made this decision.

Correct. It was when UL was in the NCAA baseball tourney.

Very good!

Wow! Who's bright idea was it to have it at BOK facilities anyway? Rotate that around the regions biggest gyms. Yeah the bank is greedy, I dont know the details but sounds like who ever made the decisions for the region was greedy also. Hopefully this will change.

No, I don't have a link to any of the information, but..... you might want to ask around your local radio/internet radio folks, as I am sure they know all about this....

BTW I didn't add this to my first post but again from the information I was given; Insight Communication (local cable company) has inquired about the possibility of showing/broadcasting the Semi-Finals and the Finals of the Ninth and Tenth Region games but they were told it would cost them now get this $10,000.00 yep you read it correctly Ten Thousands Dollars.

I don"t think you know what you are talking about on that part.

**jahearme** · Feb 14, 09, 09:33 AM

I can see them not allowing TV broadcasts, BUT RADIO!?!?!?
C'mon folks. Get over yourselves.

**SportsGuy41017** · Feb 14, 09, 09:34 AM

If it's their live broadcast I can see why. Not so if it's tape delay, but im pretty sure it's for the live TV broadcasts.

Lived in Ft. Mitchell(Mitchell Park apartments) for a couple of years. Its great for the Reds,Bengals and UC, just not the 10th region. NKU should have never been considered for this tournament

I disagree with you on this, as the rotation it's CCHS's district's turn, it's just a couple of miles more. I am looking forward in watching both 9th/10th region biys tourneys.

I am sure this will change, someone wasn't thinking, and about the of the bad PR.

After I emailed that link to you I called and emailed. On the phone call you have to wait just over a minute to leave the message. Call and call often, have everyone in your families and your friends call and email too, the more complaints the better the chances they see it's a bad idea.
