This was fun...I could have had a couple $4 waters while reading through this....

Anonymity......gotta love it!!!!!!

 

Until one day when some nosey woman sees you posting on BGP while on your phone and it all blows up in your face! :banana:

Here is a scoop from one of the NKU men's basketball coaches about their schedule next year. NKU will play Xavier. The coach did not say if it is at the BOKC or at Xavier. But it is going to happen next season. Hopefully if its at the BOKC they don't play it on a Sunday against the NFL. lol!

I have filed a WITSEC application as a result of this traumatic incident.

I heard one day while eavesdropping that they do great work! :lol:

If its a Title 9 violation, why is NKU playing the women's game in Regents Hall next month? I don't know much about Title 9. Front row of the bleachers you say? How are they going to transport The Vault over the Regents Hall? Free admission to The Vault is part of your perks for being court side ticket holders. lol!

 

:sssh: = Usually equals sarcasm on BGP. I was agreeing with you because there's a big difference between those court side tickets holders in Regents vs. BOKC.

 

I don't know much about how Title IX would play out either, but I'd think there is a difference between one game being moved because of certain circumstances vs. a whole season. However, as mentioned before it might not even be an issue at all because other Universities have their men's and women's programs playing in different locations.

 

Who knows with Title IX though. When I was in high school, we had to switch locker rooms every couple of years because one was by far better and the reason given was Title IX. We chose to just stay with the crappy one and painted it up.

You are incorrect. There were 4,019 in ACTUAL attendance for the West Va. game. You are counting in people who buy tickets and don't show, all personnel that NKU counts as attendance which I don't understand (they count players, coaches, game staff at the table). Trust me, there were not even close to the 6,000 you claim.

 

5089 according to NKU website. I know when I went online to buy my tickets there were only 95 tickets left in the lower bowl and it holds 5000. When I got to the game people were sitting up top also.

Aren't you all glad I started this thread? :banana:

Can't wait for the next Qry Stink Bomb!

Hey I gave you a simple No back on page 1 but I guess being called uselessinfo nobody cares what I had to say. :lol2:

We have noticed the past two years NKU seems to inflate their attendance numbers for the public, no one really understands this at SMG. I saw the ACTUAL attendance count (those who entered the arena via tickets) and it was 4,019. NKU's 5,089 reflects those who have season tickets, even if they don't show up, players, coaches and staff for both teams, game crew, media, cheerleaders, band, dancers, even public safety and SMG workers! So take that NKU ANNOUNCED CROWD and subtract about 600-700 every game, if not more.

I can't wait to see what NKU lists as their attendance for the women's game in Regents Hall on Feb. 21. They play North Florida for that game that has been moved from the BOKC.

 

I know Regents Hall holds about 1,600, so it will be funny if NKU lists the crowd at 3,000 because of all the season tickets their men sold, staff, players, etc. Look for this to be the first of many NKU women's games moving to Regents Hall the next few years.

Does SMG do any marketing for the basketball events? Or is that all done through the NKU Marketing and/or Athletic dept.?

 

If no, they do not, are they even allowed?

No, SMG is not responsible for marketing NKU basketball. NKU has a marketing and promotions department with a full staff that does their marketing and promos. SMG helps in the tickets, to a smaller degree from what I understand, but NKU and the athletics dept. is responsible for the marketing of games. SMG does not do their publicity efforts either and Learfield Sports has the rights to their radio and electronic media. NKU is responsible for maintaining their own website with information and getting stories on TV and the papers, not SMG.

Funny story about their marketing is last year Nelligan Sports owned the rights and was bought by Learfield. Nelligan had a guy who worked in the BOKC offices named Jim Gibson, a really nice fella who worked his butt off to try and help NKU with some marketing. He told the story that the NKU women's coach was upset about her lack of promotions and publicity and the athletics marketing staff had to assign a GA to women's basketball to make her quiet down about why she doesn't get what the NKU men's basketball program gets.

 

Jim would point out the women's crowds during games last season and laugh about her complaints since the women draw about 300 a game and the men had over 1,000 per game. lol!
