New 12-Year Deal with Learfield-IMG

Postby BostonCollege1 on Thu Jan 16, 2020 1:33 am

Learfield-IMG has been a BC partner for quite a while, but it sounds like this deal is a lot bigger. Fenway Sports Group is out, I assume?

I'm (only slightly) hopeful that they will help BC improve in a few areas. Canning Meter would be a great first step.

BC already works with Learfield-IMG, this seems like it could be a bigger deal.

FSG never did anything to help BC aside from their self-serving interests to benefit the Red Sox

What if anything does this actually mean?

The "Take a bow" thing is pretty corny, especially when he does it after every. single. touchdown. It kinda loses meaning.

Eh, I can live with Meter, can they please move on from Pete Cronin. Wonder if they need a color guy in Fort Collins.

Some announcers just grate on different people. I love John Sterling who is basically the corniest baseball announcer now, but I can't stand Michael Kay and his goddam "see ya!"

I'm sure their main goal is increase revenue so they will probably spend too much time trying to sell ads for the video screens at Alumni Stadium. From my perspective, their top goals should be to improve the brand, increase ticket sales and make the game day experience better. Then the ads and money will follow.

Meter is barely acceptable, agreed on Cronin. Not my fave, far from it, but have no idea as to the ex-FB player to replace him.
You what?

tuning into a game meter's calling is like listening to a high school nerd practicing play-by-play while watching a game on tv in his basement. bc needs to tell meter to "take a hike". how did meter become the voice of bc fb and hoops in the first place. i heard his old man pulled some strings.

You like John Sterling and Meter. And probably communism and Duke basketball. Christ, stop liking shit.

Meter Tweeted minutes before the previous post that he will be doing morning TV (local ABC station) in Providence. I don't know why that would mean he couldn't do BC sports. Maybe it is related to us losing Jarmond?

Meter is staying with BC Football. IMG is in serious trouble. All media rights contracts could be totally rewritten shortly.

Atlanta,

Do you still think your idea that BC should hope the season is moved to the winter so we can schedule all our games in February?

That home field advantage was a great idea!

As long as we don’t lose the brilliance of Cronan.

That would be a major hit.
