Stop suppressing the crowd noise at the RAC.
I live across the country and want to go deaf from the noise level on TV.
Thanks.

The place was loud af tonight when we went on our runs. And yeah BTN definitely suppresses it more than the other networks
You could hear them switching between the two levels lol
I noticed this, and it was incredibly annoying. I wondered if it was to help the announcers' voices to be heard more clearly? That is, not being drowned out by the crowd? It was the only thing I could think of, but over the years, those two things have never been in competition with each other, even when the roof is coming off the place.
Shitty production, I thought. And a shame, because I know it was raucous.
was about to say this
there was point in the OT or end of regulation where they pressed the button and crowd noise went up 5x
Jerry Recco and Rutgers MBB alum Austin Johnson were super on the radio broadcast. Seemed like the crowd noise was suppressed so listeners could hear Jerry and Austin, which I understand on the radio.
Jerry was sick yesterday. Other announcer was good Post game.
My bad. You are correct! I thought something seemed different about Austin's partner. I only listened to the last 5 minutes of regulation, the overtime, and the postgame.
That’s definitely what it was, but just don’t talk during those times, ya know?
Let the RAC roar on TV.
It's definitely suppressed on TV. The best is when everyone is so loud inside and the ref blows the whistle and basketball keeps playing because no one can even hear it lol.
I was watching on BTN on FIOS. Whoever was working the scoreboard graphic on the bottom must have been drinking throughout the game because it was glitchy all night. Points were given to the team that hadn't scored or took a while to even show up. At one point in the second half, they showed Nebraska's foul total as 13 instead of just going to the Bonus+.
The BTN broadcast has such crappy video quality. They have to upgrade those cameras. ! Seems like it’s almost non-hd broadcast
They were relentless in making mentions of this. It definitely was intentional to make a point to whoever they wanted to hear it
What doesn’t make sense to me is why they’re suppressing the crowd noise to begin with. It’s way more exciting for television viewers to hear the crowd, even if the announcers have to shout at times. BTN is blowing a big opportunity to make their broadcasts must-watch tv by college bball fans.

I kept thinking early in the game that maybe the ganja I was smoking was way stronger than I expected. Rutgers would score but they'd add the points to Nebraska's total...slowly....eventually correcting it. Then they would do the same thing the other way. I figured maybe the person running the scoreboard had been smoking the good stuff.
Great ending to the game.
Was away on business and listening to the BTN broadcast on CarPlay - the play by play guy was not doing any play by play. I know they are TV guys but he was essentially useless.
