@Daniellelyons_ We are definitely processing information more than ever before, but on the other side, How much is being understood by the consumer when this information is thrown out so rapidly? #SRM3224#group4
Tik Tok is another example of how our brains are now processing information. Short bursts of entertainment/news. Sports organizations have been really focusing on Tik Tok accounts lately in an attempt to grasp the younger, less engaged generations. #Srm3224#group4
@Amarna_Milne @dr_marshmallow Great point, I love to see how technology increases the accuracy of sports. Hoping for those robot umpires soon enough. #SRM3224#Group4
I can see why people believe that humans are still in your thinkers I just think with the way times are people are smarter, and while we rely heavily on technology, we use it to our advantage #srm3224#group3
I believe humans are adapting in a way to accommodate for technological advancements, we are already seeing studies on how screen time effects infants as we see a new form of babysitting in tablets and screens #Srm3224#group4
Virtual reality is going to continue to boom in the sports industry in the sports industry because there are many advertisement, betting, and monetization avenues possible #srm3224
TNT's telecast of @FDUKnights upset over @BoilerBall was the most-watched game of Round 1 of @MarchMadnessMBB with 4.37 million viewers on Friday night.
No. 2 was 3.89 million on CBS for @KentuckyMBB over @PCFriarsmbb in the same Friday night early window.
One factor to consider is recruiting. When these small schools win a game or two in March Madness, their recruitment portal multiplies in size and gives the school a chance to build a name and program that doesn’t go away after one seasons run. #Group4#SRM3224
#SRM3224#group4 I think there's a very big impact on the brand of these small teams when they go on runs. For example UMBC (the first 16 seed to win a game) received so much media recognition when it happened. They have more than 72 thousand followers on twitter now!
Another great example of the boost in popularity a team has after a big win during March Madness - Here is the FDU google search graph during the Tourney. Look at that skyrocket! #SRM3224#Group3
Growing up 10 minutes away from Lehigh made me feel a massive sense of pride when our guys took down Duke in 2012! These Cinderella teams unite communities during the run and years down the line as everyone remembers where they were when it happened. #Group4#SRM3224
Let’s not forget about funding! With FDUs win over Purdue, they are likely to see more money from boosters and the conference, this could lead to athletic facility improvements for decades to come. #Group4#SRM3224
This year, we saw our second (16) beat a (1) in March madness. The recognition for this kind of feat is undeniable, as I know I’ll never forget watching UMBC become the first 16 to win in the first round, and any college basketball fan will tell you the same. #group4#SRM3224
$3 billion/annually.
That's an estimate of what it would cost for an Amazon Prime or an Apple TV+ to buy up all the MLB regional sports network rights and have under one roof, per @BrandoLightShed on "The Town" podcast with @MattBelloni
I think in order to stay competitive with tech companies the networks are going to need to match what streaming can give a viewer and maybe even go beyond that with interacting with their audience, and giving them some thing that streaming can't do #group3#srm3224
The NBA and the NFL have done great jobs at maximizing their potential when working out these TV deals, while the MLS and MLB have done very poor jobs at making their product accessible for their fans #srm3224#group4
