Dr. Charles Breithaupt has just announced that for the 2020 only that video broadcast of Friday night football games will be allowed.

From Matt Stepp:

"BREAKING contingent upon a 2020
This is the hidden content, please
 season the UIL WILL lift the Friday night live broadcast ban during the regular season.... This will be for 2020, both schools must agree to the broadcast...Dr. Breithaupt says they want to protect Friday night, but this yr is an exception"

That is the key statement.

I see some third party entities trying to muscle their way in without consent.

Hey Grad, what are your thoughts/concerns about this?

Well, Soulja on its face, SETXsports.com broadcasts should not be effected as folks need to remember that the context that "broadcast", as it is being used today, is video broadcast.  We have not done that and, as far as I know, there were no plans for us to do that in 2020 for football.

Now, will guidelines like getting permission from both schools affect us if they are extended to audio broadcasts?  Not really.  It is probably known to few, but the UIL has required of broadcasters, both video and audio, to gain permission of both schools for any playoff broadcast for the last 4 years so we have a system down pat to gain those should we be required to so and those who have been involved with broadcasting during that time, like Legacy, Texan Live, KOGT, KLVI, Cool 92.5 and The Eagle have as well.

As to concerns, there are many questions on how this will ultimately be implemented, so I'll reserve further comment until I see the UIL's final guidelines.

We have been doing this for 4 years during the playoffs and I have never had a coach or AD refuse us.

My point being just how many broadcast entities are allowed permission for one game?

That is my concern. I can see third party entities trying to replace radio/internet entities that have been broadcasting certain schools for years. I can definitely see a clash for press box space.

Anyone have any info on UIL allowing people at the games?

I heard a rumor that it was for sure going to happen...but that guy may have been pulling my chain. 

Well, here is what we know.  At the UIL Legislative Conference last week, Dr. Breithaupt said that "currently" the UIL was planing on 1) a full schedule with 2) an on time start and 3)full fan capacity.

However, a couple of weeks before, Governor Abbott had a conference call with state FBS schools (ie, UT, A&M, etc) and stated that 50% capacity in stadiums would be as high as he is willing to go for football season.  That and the UIL signaling willingness to budge off of a rule that it has rigorously defended and stuck to forever (the prohibition against video broadcasts on Friday night) indicates to me that if there are fans, it will be no more than 50% capacity.

I wonder if that’s total capacity or per side? I would sit on the other team’s side just to watch a ball game.

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
