PrintMike Slive's due up at the podium at 12:30 CST. I don't know how much discussion this is going to generate, but using it as a dry run might be worthwhile. So, if you're able, check out the direct link to the video stream, which we're hoping will open in a new window. If that fails, here's the SEC Media Days website.
As I said this morning, I won't be updating here because it's too slow and doesn't allow us to interact very well. Instead, I'll be joining you in the thread below.
Hello, Commissioner Slive!

Just ran into Spencer, who told me not to miss Rogers Redding tomorrow. He’s the SEC Coordinator of Football Officials and will be up tomorrow morning.

First mention of Twitter
Who’s twittered in the last 15 minutes? Only a smattering.

"Brag Bag"
Great season, FL in football,
UT in track, Auburn, Georgia all national champs.
11 of 20 sports had the NC or runner up.
“Without question” conference is the premier football conference in America.

Secondary violations
They’re not new. They’re a reality and consequence of being so highly regulated.

then sent to the NCAA

But some are more serious
Especially in recruiting.
Standard penalties for PCs, text message, corresopndence violations. More aggressive than NCAA to show there are meaningful penalties for this stuff.
Important to determine if there’s a pattern. If trend is detected, penalties become more severe.

Some examples of actions
Entire coaching staff lost ability to make calls to recruits.
Prevented from participating in recruiting activities.
Teams have lost practice opportunities.

Risk / reward
They know about this. Their thoughts? Anytime a 2nd violation is committed, they place themselves at risk, including additional scrutiny.

Yeah, that's frustrating.
Why advertise a live stream if you’re not going to give one? At least tell us it’s technical difficulties or something.

If this is the ESPNSEC Regional telecast...
It’ll kick at 12:20 with 20 minutes of pregame show beforehand.
And I’ll still have to order ESPN GamePlan to see it in SWVA

They said they were doing it, but that probably means they intended to.

Maybe it’d work if ESPN was already running it…
(anybody check ‘360 yet? It’s blocked where I work.)

Funny, they're talking about 360 right now

Oh,
The website allows you to watch “archived” video. Meaning they won’t get it up until after the fact.
Nice.
by David Hooper on Jul 22, 2009 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah.
So why does it say “Free Streaming Video”.
Streaming = Live

We'll see.
Right now, the “Free Streaming Video” link is actually linked to the schedule that’s about 3 inches further down the web page on my screen. It’s not a link to a video feed at all.
by David Hooper on Jul 22, 2009 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions
My thought exactly.
And that’s why I didn’t understand it the first dozen times. The “archived” bit is inconspicuously hidden lower down on the website.

If anybody finds an online radio feed that covers it live, please post here.
I’m still checking the Sports Animal, but I’m skeptical that they’re going to come through.
Joel, let us know when soemthing starts.
So I can tell if SA is going to cover it or if they’re going to continue this interminable ad string.
Will do
Should be about three minutes
