[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 344967, member: 1451"] True enough. The point is, teams that get screwed (in attendance revenue) by repeated noon games are not getting compensated for the sacrifice they are [S]making[/S] being forced to make for the sake of league coverage, while the folks dictating the time slots are not held accountable for the financial impact of their choices on individual teams. So maybe we should sue the ACC for a greater share of their TV revenues, since we are taking a disproportionate ding in our ticket sales. Surely [U]someone[/U] who is making money off this venture should appropriately compensate the teams who are taking it on the chin in order for them to rake in the cash. Sure, its not a big deal (revenue-wise) to the primary beneficiaries (league/networks), but do the math: if a noon game costs us 5k in attendance, at (guessing an average) $40 per seat, that's $200k per game, and if we have 5 noon home games, that's $1M in annual revenue. I'm sure we could find something to do with that much income--money that we are [U]not[/U] getting solely because of our crappy start times. If we are going to complain (to the league, to the networks, I don't care), [U]that's[/U] the point we should make[I]: their[/I] choices cost [I]our[/I] program revenue outside the flat television income stream, so that stream should factor the cost we bear into our compensation--not on a league level, but on a team level.
