As someone who has experience covering an NCAA basketball team, I'll tell you that the "inside" stuff you guys are looking for isn't what you think it is. The football show was so dynamic because it pulls from such a diverse and large population of players. When that pool of ideas gets cut down to just a handful of guys, the cool stuff you're looking for just isn't there. From my personal experience, when NCAA basketball players have free time, they spend it talking to their friends, doing homework, playing video games and running through their Twitter feeds. Road trips are spent in hotel rooms with strict curfews. Team meetings may feel exciting or fun because they happen behind closed doors, but honestly they are about as interesting as an entry-level math class. They cover logistics, scouting reports and go over some film, and that's generally it. For the most part, NCAA athletes live pretty mundane, scripted-down-to-the-minute lives. The most exciting part of their days, and the part that sets them apart from the rest of the student body, is what they do between the whistles, and All In delivers that. Also, remember that this video is made and produced by members of the athletic department. They don't get to be the "fly on the wall" in this kind of environment. Every second of video must be agreed on beforehand and approved afterwards. Before a "behind the scenes" video hits the air, it gets screened by so many different departments just to make sure the interests of the school are protected. Just to prove how fickle that process can be, a program I produced once had to be changed because a player was shown eating a bagel with jelly on it, when jelly wasn't on the approved list of things the team could provide players as a meal. So really what you see is what you get; if you're bored with the behind the scenes look you get, odds are you're not missing anything. Furthermore, nothing comes above the interests of the student-athletes. While it might be cool for a fan to see players upset after a tough loss, if the coach feels like it would be a detriment to the team to have a camera in the players' faces, then the camera goes.

People keep saying that these videos are impressive considering the products the other MAC schools are putting out, and they're right. Unfortunately you guys are looking at this through too limited a scope. If you broaden your gaze a bit and look at the world of college video, the stuff Ohio is doing is beating a lot of BCS Conference schools. In that community, there are a handful of schools that have what we would call a dream scenario. Those are Florida State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Southern Cal and Florida. Those schools have huge budgets, huge staffs and the ability to draw in talented producers and videographers. Evan and Russ are talented enough to work for those programs, and they could probably make a hell of a lot more money there. What you're seeing from Ohio is the product of two really talented guys and their staff working overtime; really beyond what a group of interns and college students should be expected to produce. They have made the most of a limited budget, limited time, severely limited facilities and equally limited equipment. Ninety percent of the comments on here are positive toward Bobcat TV, but it's pretty clear that the 10% of complaints are coming from that previously mentioned narrow gaze. Appreciate what these guys are doing because the young, up-and-coming staff might not be here forever.
