CBS is going to Athens on Oct 21 for a noon game between Ohio and WMU
Remember that our contract is with ESPN. They take what they want. Then they sell CBSSN whatever games they wish to buy. The games which are not picked up by either go to ESPN+.

The lack of decent Wi fi around the sports complex ( Millet,Yager,parking areas included):seriously impede speed of tickets checking in and entry and ability to buy all concessions). The Beer garden lines were immense and couldnāt process payment. They had to revert to cash ,also slow. This needs to be addressed.!,! Iām not sure how entry into the evening comedy show went. Millet was mobbed outside.

That is really sad. Lack of preparation is inexcusable. Parking, wi fi, and others need to be fixed. Damn, even if only 500 people show up it would be better to have massive overkill in wi fi and parking help than āunderkillā for 20,000.

The overloaded Wifi issue is a chronic problem in almost every stadium. I couldnāt get access to it at Spartan Stadium until the MSU students left after Washington built a 35-0 lead at halftime. Even at Coastal the following Thursday night, it was impossible to access Internet in the stands until the student body gave up and left after halftime. It worked under the stands at both stadiums for entry and for concessions, but you couldnāt access scores or rosters from your seat.
With the universal conversion to a non-cash environment, this is a tech issue that needs to be solved poste-haste!

Send an email to Dave Meyer or Lindsay Sparks (meyerd@miamioh.edu, sparkslg@miamioh.edu) to let them know things arenāt up to par. It may not get corrected this year, but they will at least be aware of it for the future.
You can also tweet back at Miami Athletics. That stuff gets seen by more people than you would think.
