Would there be a way to do a web cam cast of the game wouldnt have to be sound cause you could listen to joe and paul just of the field and where the action was happing??????? i am no computer person i just know that i can see some streets in houston with a web cam why not an png game for our out of towners

Not sure, but I think the UIL would put a halt to it.

I thought I heard that some other group was considering this as an option this year. I think the ban is now on playoff games but I could be wrong. Anyone with a laptop, high speed wireless, and a account with livestream could probably do it.

Why would something like this be banned in the first place? It seems like streaming video of a football game via the internet couldn't do any harm.

The reason would be to make sure that ticket sales would not be affected...I think.

Ok. I can understand that... well, at least for the other schools.... ;D

UIL won't allow it!

Here are some interesting rules regarding video from the UIL website: http://www.uil.utexas.edu/athletics/manuals/football/FootballManual.pdf

Video Replay Boards
In stadiums where video replay boards are utilized replays of game action may only be shown once. Slow motion replays
may not be shown. Coaches may not utilize video monitors in press box coaches' booths.

Videotaping/Filming
non-Conference and District Contests
1) Videotaping/Filming by schools.
• It is a violation to film or videotape a non-conference or district athletic contest in which your school or
team is not competing unless prior consent of the two schools involved has been obtained.
• A school does not have to obtain permission to film or tape a NON-CONFERENCE OR DISTRICT contest
in which it is competing. However, the film or videotape shall not be utilized until after the contest has
been completed.
• Films and videotapes become the property of the school doing the filming unless by district rule or by
consent of the schools involved in the contest.
2) Videotaping/Filming by Individuals. Any individual (other than the officially designated school camera)
taping or filming must have prior permission from the schools involved in the contest and may not obstruct
the view of other spectators of the contest.
3) Commercial Uses. Use of the films or tapes for commercial purposes must be approved by all schools involved
in the contest.

Live Regular Season Telecast
UIL member schools shall not have a live telecast or video webcast/live videostream of a Friday night regular season
football game when other schools are having interschool football games in the telecast area.

Radio Broadcasting and Telecasting
The UIL retains the rights for telecasts of all final games. Broadcasting and televising include every nature of transmitting
audio or video whether over the radio, televion, internet, or other. Any requests for broadcasting and telecasting rights
must be arranged with the UIL staff the week before the championship game.

That's all a quick search of the manual could find. I found nothing regarding playoffs other than the championship game.

Tickets and concessions. Very good reasons.

 

[nissanindian]

I was just wondering wow the uil has rules for everything huh

 

[PNG NDN Fan]

It's all about money. I would think a compromise would be to allow individuals to pay to see the live webcast. I could just see some individual trying to do a broadcast in the stadium just to see if they get away with it.

 

[pngfan93]

Set up right, no one else would know about it.

 

[modmouse78]

I was thinking the same thing, 93.
