    But it shows the alumni side and not the student side.

    I don’t think football and basketball broadcasts have similar backdrops as it relates to fan visibility.
    Nonetheless- Someone on swamp gas should of take up the cause! :)

    Why would they flip them, if you're here raising money for it?! :)

    Increase your ask to $2,000 while you're at it!

    It’s funny, on the football boards there are constant complaints about how much money gets taken from football to go to the other sports.

    Serious question. Doesn’t men’s basketball turn a profit too? I thought those two were the main income generators.

    In a wireless age the price tag quoted seems excessive unless they're considering a hard wire change. This isn't 1921.

    Just the ADs way of saying, "Go away kid, you're bothering me" - not a player.

    This is what I thought too, but I actually don’t know for sure if it’s true at Florida.

    Okay, letter-writing campaign needed here. Let's get Billy N to add the camera-flip to his list of demands. We'll even rename the venue: Billy Donovan/Billy Napier Court at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center at Exactech Exactoblade Arena Court Center Arena.

    If they flipped the cameras, we lose the benches in the shots. And if you put the rowdies behind the teams, well I would just say they would be interesting.
    So there’s that.

    Right, but we might miss that great view of Castleton passing it to Keyontae.

    Yep, lots of games you don't see them (Auburn and Duke just to name a few)

    most football fans live in a bubble, so not surprising!

    Needs to pay for the other non-profitable sports though.
