I don't want to overact, but I agree. If this game cannot be seen throughout Mizzou on all regular cable packages then Slive needs to address the issue. A major point of the SEC/ESPN deal was to get all the games on TV. Additionally, one of the main reasons the SEC so strongly courted Mizzou to the SEC was because of the excellent TV markets. Makes no sense to not make such a big game readily available.

Here is an e-mail address (below) that we can write to to complain.

It's a cut and paste from another Mizzou forum...

quote:
The CSS network has an exclusive deal with Charter and, as of now, have not agreed to let KPLR show the game.

If you have Charter, stop reading now.

If you don't have Charter, may I suggest complaining to the SEC? Although the SEC isn't directly responsible for this, it still makes them look somewhat bad. What other SEC team has their conference opener blacked out to a large portion of the largest market in the home state? Maybe Missouri really isn't an SEC team after all...

The only email address I could find on the SEC website is secfeedback@xosdigital.com.

If you write to them, may I suggest these talking points:
-you're unhappy.
-you don't blame them but it makes it look like the SEC doesn't care about the St. Louis market.
-a lot of people locally don't have that provider for reasons you'd rather not waste their time with.
-The closest Big 10 team probably will have their game available on multiple providers in St. Louis.
-Ask them to use their influence to get Missouri's SEC conference opener available to all of St. Louis.

Plus anything else you can think of.
