"The following is my opinion on a recent development at LSU: LSU athletic director Skip Bertman has decided to charge Tiger fans who listen to LSU football and other sporting events on the internet. I know that it takes a lots of money to run a great program such as LSU's, but I believe that LSU has gone too far in charging Tiger fans to listen to Tiger sporting events over the internet. I think that it is very unfair that our military men and women fighting to protect our freedom have to pay to listen and very unfair to Tiger fans living outside the signals of WWL 870 AM, KWKH 1130AM and the flagship station 98.1 FM in Baton Rouge. There are many LSU fans living in other states who live on fixed income and many elderly and handicap Tiger fans who have a hard time paying their monthly bills who will be affected by Coach Bertman's decision. I urge the LSU Board of Supervisors and LSU Athletic Director Skip Bertman to reconsider. There are plenty of other ways to raise money than to charge our military men and women, and Tiger fans living on fixed incomes, the opportunity to listen to LSU Sporting events on the internet." - DandyDon.com What does everyone think about this? I AM in the military and my opinion is that, if the quality is better and more reliable, then yes, I'd be glad to pay 4-5 bucks for a listen, or view of a game. But if the service is just as bad as it was last year, then.. hell no. Comments?
yeah I know there is another thread about this, I didn't see it when I posted this. I don't like that thread anyway.
I don't know this for sure, but something tells me that all the people fighting for the country will have their tab picked up by someone... Which is the way it should be... I like the charging for all people with that exception
I agree with them NOT paying--since they are paying what could be the ultimate sacrifice... what I'm against is people using the excuse that "military personnel" should get services free JUST so that they could... if you catch my drift?
Here, Here! :thumb: :thumb: Poor move by Bertman & LSU. Getting greedy going after a few hundred thousand bucks. Not to mention the effects on recruiting kids out of state that would listen to the games & catch the excitement!
whoa whoa whoa.... i didnt say that, Dandydon did... I really don't care if they charge or not, as not as its quality service...
