The gala was awesome!
34-9
Jesuit 17 Curtis 14 Final
Congrats Blue Jays.
How bout dem Dragons?? Mangham rematch with Haynesville. This time the Dragons may have the upper hand.
Rams bring the wood!!
State champs!! 4th time in 10 years!
All the Texas state championships on TV in Louisiana.
None of the Louisiana championships on TV in Louisiana.
Corruption! Maybe the new LHSAA guy will fix it.
All it takes is some strong marketing, securing enough TV $ponsorship$ to offset the loss in ticket sales to the live event.
And just imagine the expense charge Jerry puts on the Texas association to hold the event on his carpet.

The NFL blackout rule has been rather effective in its lifetime.
Again, if it's FREE on TV, somebody would have to get off their butts and make some money for the LHSAA.

Maybe a CFB playoff, well, something to get a TRUE champion, might generate TV interest and revenue for the LHSAA. For instance, this upcoming weekend, Jesuit vs. Acadiana for "all the marbles."
Someone, like MD, would have to explain the COX TV "corruption" angle. I mean, why wouldn't COX want to televise the games, provided they could sell ads? I can maybe see the attendance in the Dome being a concern, but COX wouldn't care about that IF they were selling commercial time and making money.
Lifetime, Sport.
The blackout rule is one of the reasons the NFL is as big as it is TODAY. Sold out stadia built up business. What it has to do with HS is the LHSAA thinks it's the NFL. They love to see themselves on TV with a big crowd....two weeks later.
And, yes, there is plenty of sponsorship money out there if, this is a recording, the ad sales folks get off their butts and sell after the LHSAA committee of governing principals quit being idiots.

My initial post said that I'm watching Texas state championships in Louisiana. Corruption is the reason I'm not watching Louisiana State championships in Louisiana. That has nothing to do with blackout rules or lack of sponsorships
Oh. OK.
Corruption it is.
