Re: Ready For TV Yet?
Can they be televised successfully? I think it depends. The main requirement is that the game has to be elevator-friendly, in that I can explain it to someone on the elevators of the Moore School of Business on the way to class. (And those elevators move fast, goodness!)
I could definitely see the finals of a regional (especially the stronger ones) televised on one of the broadcast stations in town. And something like the Einstein finals would easily qualify as something for Wide World of Sports, even on a tape delay. (Sure, it's more exciting live--but the finals start relatively late for the east coast for such things.)
So my answer is yes, they could--but the game needs to be a top-notch one, on par with FIRST Frenzy and Aim High.

Id have to say, that is probably one of the most creative floats i have ever seen. then again, this is coming from a guy who hasn't seen many floats (disregarding the 32-bit ones). - Uberbots [more]
