sibiur said:You'd think with all the internet courses out there in the schools that somebody would step up and create some good sites (with the exception of two or three good school sites in the conference).
Dude, you sound like a salesman.SAME OLD G said:I disagree. This is more a case of the powers that be not having a clue about the benefits of having a decent web site. How can you possibly put a priority on something you have no knowledge of? Unfortunalty, many people (including SWAC leaders, small business owners, etc.) only see a web site as nothing more than a source of information instead of viewing it has a necessary business tool to help enhance their overall business objectives.

the band fan said:as for UAPB, I never could understand how they invest so heavily in technology but then turn around and shortchange athletics when it came to the website and stuff...
sibiur said:Off topic, but not really: The SWAC website is sad. The MEAC site has updates as recently as several this past week!
I am one of the biggest complainers about the lack of information from PB. It is a shame. The local paper will have a book on Fayetteville and nothing on PB.UAPB '97 said:This is a very true statement. We (all SWAC schools) need to step our commitment to using the web as a recruitment tool. UAPB's site has absolutely no athletic data present other than a few football tidbits FROM BEFORE LAST SEASON!!! Nothing about spring ball. Nothing about new recruits (the article that was posted on TSPN was from a local newspaper). It's pathetic. It can't be updated more than once every few months.

BLAQUE PRINCE said:To build better websites with more interactivity than whats out there now? NO! Ignorance is the word. There are too many free or dirt cheap solutions out there to use money as an excuse. I've seen many ideas shot down over ignorance.
SAME OLD G said:That dayum CLeb! You go boy! :lol:
Jafus (Thinker) said:Same Old G,
I am stating both. It takes money to make money. I believe our leaders review it in terms of an invesment. I do not believe our leaders view the ROI high enough to set aside revenue for a website dedicated to athletics, especially since our budgets from our state legilators are so minial in covering the overall operation priorities of our universities.
It is becoming a question of resources. How do you quantifiably measure the significance and monetary value of athletics to a university (Of course we are obviously bias by nature {fanatics})?
It is also becoming obvious in this day in age that an institution outside of the BCS (and BCS programs rarely do not run a deficit because of the "Athletics Arms Race") can run an athletic department without a deficit (outside of the subsidies granted to the athletic department {i.e. student athletics fees/}).
The difficult questions becomes. What is an acceptable athletic department deficit? and How does the pressures to win play in the cost of an acceptable athletic department deficit?
