I have to disagree with most posters on here it hurts the gate tremendously. The 14tH should do the same thing. These schools need the revenue. These media companies are businesses they make money from their advertising on the games WYMT gives schools 250 dollars when they broadcast in a game like Hazard vs Perry or a regional tourney game that is equivalent to 50 tickets then you lose on concessions also. It is a money loser for the schools.

I understand what your saying but in reality if your going to the game to support your team, then your going regardless. The media outlets ONLY benefit the fans who had no intention on attending but would still like to follow the game. I’ve witnessed it too many times this season and in past seasons. No matter the the matchup and what media outlets are in the house Paintsville and Johnson Central always have big crowds. If a school doesn’t then they need to look at what’s wrong with their Basketball program? Are they charging to much per person to attend? Are they just having a down season and not much interest? What’s the issue internally? Pointing the finger at someone else and saying they’re the problem is not what needs done. I see the same thing for the Region at the EXPO. If my team is in it I will be there! Now if work or something comes up and prevents me from attending yes I would love to be able to watch it but by no means did it have any effect on my not going. To me it’s It’s just an easy cop out.
