Why?

Just wondering. Watching the IU/Wisc game on ESPN now in high def. Great match-up. Not a great game thus far unless you are a Wisky fan.

A&M vs. t.u. last night was #10 vs. #23 but it was not broadcast in widescreen high def. t.u. is a high profile bball program. A&M is getting there. WTF is up with that not being broadcast in ful widescreen high def?

I know IU IS college basketball, but I figure that A&M/t.u. game was worthy of the best broadcast. Any published restrictions on what warrants high def?

Why?

1. TAMUs arena is ugly as fuck
2. Orange is also ugly as fuck

ESPN has a limited number of high def cameras and it takes time to move them around the country?

i would have guessed something like this. some scarcity of hardware/transportation issue. since you assume you got them moving from place A to place B for weekend duty and the upper midwest more on the way this time than central/south Texas.

I'd be interested in knowing how many HD cameras "the worldwide leader" has in stock.

Speaking of...I know Sony makes a lot of these HD cameras. With the 2009 deadline for all broadcasts to be in HD, I bought some Sony stock awhile back for a little stock game my family plays each year. It's dropped $10 since. Come on ESPN...load up.
