Nah, he is absolutely correct here.  If other schools can manage it why do we not ask the same of our school?  The interest is clearly there as well since there is no football going on.

Streaming a game is the smallest of small asks.  No one is asking for a full production.  Just set up a camera and stream the game without comment to the school's website... or, heaven forbid, do something like Purdue did.

I understand the frustration with brew's constant 'bone to pick' with the current admin, but he isn't wrong on this one.

Brew better watch it. He might become eeyore77. Not that that is a bad thing. I do agree with him though that not streaming these games is not good PR. Sure, the games are meaningless except we get to see, not just read a box score, on how our new guys performed outside of practice.

Well, because taking "every opportunity" to engage fans isn't a realistic standard.

I guess I'm just annoyed at brew b*tching every off season. Haunted Hoops...lack of hot dogs...lack of streaming....  Yet they will likely be top 20 in attendance again this year. It's like these guys are professionals who have figured out what moves the needle when it comes to selling tickets.

Anyway, at some point the constant complaining just becomes chicken little nonsense.

Yeah! Stop the constant complaining about the constant complaining. At least Scoop is the Gold Standard in giving fans "every opportunity" to engage about Marquette Basketball.

I don't see Brenn on the scholarship table. Is he a walk-on?

Yes

There is no logical reason to not stream it. You can eventually hammer people complaining about it incessantly.  Say in a month if they are still bitching about it.  But you can't logic your way to rationalizing a silly marketing mistake.

Yep. Exactly the same with the decision of 18 over Sheek, causing Sheek to leave. It was illogical and wrong, but I get why some people don't like hearing the criticism.

Sheek left for educational reasons.  He chose the school over Marquette.  I get why some people don't like hearing the criticism.  It wasn't about money or playing time.  In fact, he isn't even getting money to go there.

Because, for whatever reason, they simply don't want to. I have no idea what that reason is, so I have no opinion if it is valid or not.

What I do know is that it's not that big of a deal.

The interest is clearly there as well since there is no football going on.

I never claimed there was no interest. But I think the interest is small and most will simply move on without thinking much of it.

Do you know why they chose not to? I don't. So I have no idea if their choice was "logical" or not.

Regardless, Vander is right. It may be annoying to the hard cores, but ultimately is meaningless.

Why does the school do things like social media clips? Player interviews on YouTube? The radio show? Shaka going on podcasts? Most engagement plays are "meaningless" in a loss leader with an already loyal & niche fan base. But MU does do all those meaningless things for engagement so the question isn't about whether it's meaningless or not it's why they wouldn't take a rather simple and small step to keep up with peer programs by streaming?

Im not going to lose sleep over it, but I also dont lose sleep if i miss half the social media content or a non con buy game. But watching MUBB gives me (and others) enjoyment id have preferred to watch than not watch.

I would suggest that fan engagement on social media and YouTube is far from meaningless. It is a way to connect and engage the Marquette basketball community year round.

Streaming a couple blowout exhibition games in late July? Near meaningless.
