I was thinking the same thing!!! I wondered which one you were there behind the plate but never asked!Watched the highlights: strange when you see yourself in all of them and how can a team and school with no press box have so much better video production than UT? They had a long table and three or so laptops and the cameras.
I was sitting right over a left handed batters shoulder wearing an orange shirt really couldn't see my face much. Sat next to an ETSU mom her daughter is hurt right now. The pitcher who sailed that pitch to the back stop hurt her arm/shoulder. Etsu coach has gone on a recruiting them small binge. I thought we only did that!I was thinking the same thing!!!

So no I’m not going to donate 3 million have a little thicker skin. Seems the SEC is the problem if only 2 cameras can be used and they limit how things can be done. I was at the Etsu game and with their limitations they did a pretty good job producing that game. This is a team according to the mother of a player l sat next to whichBecause that's their primary streaming crew. That's literally the best ETSU can do.
Tennessee has two video production options with the SEC Network deal. First, they can produce a full TV-quality (tier 1) broadcast, which is what is done for the majority of games. Second, they can produce a two-camera (tier 2) broadcast (home plate and center field) that utilizes the home radio feed. Those are the only two options, per the SEC TV contract.
Tennessee only has one full TV production control room and only so many TV-quality cameras. A tier 1 broadcast can only be run through the main control room. A tier 2 broadcast can be run through a secondary setup. Additionally, when events other than football on campus are broadcast by ESPN or the SEC Network, UT's equipment and control room are used to produce those broadcasts. They no longer hire production trucks. So when there are multiple events going on at one time, decisions have to be made. Two weeks ago, UT did all three softball games vs. Auburn with the full TV-style broadcast, one on SEC+, and two on the linear SEC Network, which left baseball with the tier 2 broadcast for all three games vs. Mississippi State. Last weekend, softball got the tier 2 setup for the MSU series while the three baseball games got the full broadcast, two on TV and one on SEC+.
Tennessee would very much like to build a second control room with equipment to do two tier 1 broadcasts at one time. Currently, only two schools in the SEC have that capability. A third will by next year. If you have the $3 million it takes to build that out laying around, I'm sure the Tennessee Fund will be happy to let your name be put on that room.
