I kind of get it. First, the stadium is a mess right now given the tear down after the SMU game and lack of time to build it back up. And with the xfer portal and NIL, nobody wants to give other coaches film on players. But it is very disappointing. I have gone to 60% of the B/W games but will probably pass this year.
They get less interesting with each passing year but being around 1600 miles away makes it impossible to go so I would watch it if I could.
Plus, no TV may further incentivize others within a reasonable driving distance to actually attend.
I wonder if anyone in the area with a drone and a GoPro type camera will be streaming the game live on Twitter X?

I actually liked the 2020 year B/W game. The game was canceled but they did some creative things to enable fans to celebrate spring ball remotely, but together.
They sent out tailgating recipes, encouraged fans to connect with each other via zoom, had coaches randomly pop into the zoom sessions, they had trivia via social media channels, and a ton more unique things.
I’d like to see them run that back again. Keeps fans (especially out of state) engaged year round. In the NIL era, they can probably charge to have players/coaches join a zoom. Change the game. Set the bar.
