Scoreboard?

[AZ BU Fan]

I have a friend who works in the Civic Center and I think I remember him saying something about the new scoreboard is supposed to be installed this summer or something. I'll ask him again about it, but I just recall him saying something to that extent.

I asked this earlier this year and I believe the answer was the PCC scoreboard was supposed to be replaced this year, but due to budget issues, replacement was pushed back to 2010.

Well it was pushed out to all of us fans that it would be on local tv, BU.tv, espn360 and espn full court Being out of town, the local tv was not an option for me. espn wasn't an option because my isp wasn't one of their partners and espn fullcourt was like $19. Of course I pay for BU.tv already and while it's @#$!, I thought I would at least get to see it there...no such luck.

I never checked during this game, but previously, every ESPN360.com game involving Bradley happened to appear on channelsurfing.net.

That was an unfortunate communication. As far as I know every ESPN game has been ESPN exclusive - No other video/streaming sources have ever been allowed... However, it is possible for a local TV network to aquire local broadcast rights to an ESPN full court game. Prior to the Big Ten network, WAOE (channel 59) in Peoria simulcast every Illini game that was otherwise only available via full court. I'm certain that Comcast or any other local channel could of bought the rights to broadcast the game locally, but did no want to spend the money.

I asked again and as far as they know, it is supposed to be replaced this summer, but like you mentioned, it has been pushed back before so who knows. It'll be interesting to see how it looks though. Sometimes watching the BU games and Rivermen games, I don't think it could really get much worse.
