"Fox channels find way to do college on a tight budget" vol.8 iss.22 pg.35 by Sarah Zdesar

When it's football season and you are a football fanatic, you don't care if the game you are watching is on delay or not, all you care about is that you are watching football...period. That is why Fox College Sports will be showing tape-delayed video feeds of Big 12 college football games taken from video used by officials to review instant replays. The conference mandated that there be television production of every football game this season after it adopted video replays to check after disputed calls.
Unfortunately these games will not be exactly like watching the real thing. They will be adjusted and altered to fit a three hour time slot and audio will come from the home team's radio broadcast. Although there will be these (in my mind minor)differences, I think FCS is doing an innovative and cost reducing telecast. With this new line-up, they are really not only helping themselves, but the public as well. This allows games to be televised that normally wouldn't be to be televised at all. It also allows people the chance to see the game if they missed it or didn't see the whole thing. Personally, I know it was difficult for my family to make it to all of my games when I played in college and if they knew they could watch it whether it was on tape delay or not, they would have been more then estatic to do so. So for FCS to be televising these games, they are going to be making a profit, but little do they know they might be making family and friends happier then ever.
