But if the game becomes too available, then we lose the strength of our 12th man.
It's a tough issue. I know some can't make it to the stadium, others prefer not to go, etc., and we can afford to make exceptions for some. But many others are ideal candidates to attend -- they know their football, they are eager to cheer for UH, etc., and when we lose these folks, it hurts us.

the number of hawaii fans with gameplan through a provider other than oceanic is too small to make any kind of dent in attendance. fear not.
I just sent my email. Since Jim Donovan doesn't think internet viewing warrants much effort due to its lack of revenue production.
btw - I also suggest emailing Jim Donovan to let him know that you are a financial supporter of UH football through Na Koa or other means, and that one of the reasons you supported the team was the enthusiasm you gained from actually watching the games. Money talks!

Really? I wonder if that's including the # of mainland Na Koa members/donators. Or those that follow the team and pay for tickets when they go to the mainland...
still no hawaii on schedule. we still got a few more days, espn can still add it on. i remember past years, espn would add hawaii even as late as a couple of days before the game. so please, those of you who have not sent an email yet, please do so.
the local SF bay area sportscasters were amazed they didn't show this past weekend's SJSU-Stanford game; not even on the web; especially since it was one of the last games on here at 6pm PST. Could this be a SJSU factor?? I hope not. Like Coach Ken said, this is a MUST WIN PIVOTAL GAME for us--actually the next 4 since they will be the toughest WAC games!
WE BELIEVE! GO WARRIORS! Let us grow this Warrior Nation.

I think the UHAD is just looking at the immediate bottom line, and doubt they see the ripple effect that internet viewing has on donations and support. Bottom line - if my personal experience is any indication, being able to watch the team all season made me want to travel to Las Vegas and New Orleans to see the team live. Not to mention, up my annual donation to Na Koa.
Here is the chat where Donovan explains why the internet doesn't get much attention from the UHAD:
