Everyone know how Flo works. They provide a platform for you to stream games but you you do all the work and pay for it in hopes to get subscription money. It's like going into business for yourself selling long distance plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the money is not for you, it's for the schools. So you schedule games for free and now you are selling subscriptions for Flo for free.. Your a hell of a guy.

Because I'm a hell of a guy, I'm paying out much more than I'm banking in order to attract the best teams/games and to grow the game at the most elite levels. As I said it's a labor of love.

That seems more like the truth. I get how these thing work. It takes money or an investment to build a business. Good luck to you it's not easy. Personally I don't think high school games will be a very lucrative market but what do I know. I passed on a chance to get Microsoft stock real cheap when they went public.

Like I said if after a couple games they look like a real challenge for DeMatha we will look into their story. I think I have some ground work done already and know the gist of what they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am really trying to believe you but it is difficult when I can't verify any of your claims. That "press release" looks like a cookie cutter form letter FloSports uses when they partner with someone and then they post it under their News section on their site. I don't see yours however. I see a bunch of others though that read like yours but without the grandiose claims of what they are and they have quotes from the Flo founders. https://www.flosports.tv/category/news/ (no PGL announcement, I guess you don't rate with them but I would expect someone they committed a million dollars to would at least make their news feed) By the way it looks like you have some competition from Texas. Pretty messed up of FloSPorts to report their partnership on their site and not yours. Unfair advantage for them wouldn't you say? https://www.flosports.tv/2021/04/15/vype-media-and-flosports-sign-partnership-to-broadcast-texas-high-school-sports-to-national-audiences-starting-with-2021-season/ This should look familiar APRIL 15, 2021 VYPE MEDIA AND FLOSPORTS SIGN PARTNERSHIP TO BROADCAST TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS TO NATIONAL AUDIENCES STARTING WITH 2021 SEASON Four Year Deal Brings 6,000 Hours Of Live Programming To FloSports Annually HOUSTON, TX (April 15, 2021) – VYPE Media, a provider of exclusive content and services for high school and youth sports, including live streaming, is partnering with FloSports, a leading sports streaming and original content network, to bring Texas high school sports to nationwide audiences.

OldTerrapin Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Looks like the Ohio High School State Athletic Association also has a deal with FloSports and are showing 4 games the same weekend as your Hoban game. I guess the Ohio fans will have to choose between a sanctioned game Princeton vs Anderson or an unsanctioned exhibition game Bishop Sycamore vs Archbishop Hoban https://www.flofootball.com/?utm_source=flosportshomepage&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=flosports.tv&utm_term=ournetwork I wish there was a way to see who has more viewers. Now that would be interesting https://www.flofootball.com/collections/tag/ohio-high-school-athletic-association-ohsaa?view=live-and-upcoming How come PGL isn't shown as the producer/promoter or have a sign up page for their games like OHSAA? I think your getting the short end of the stick on this deal. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see PGL listed or noted anywhere on the FloSports Highs School Football broadcasts or its website where they list their corporate partners. Who will be going to the schools producing, filming and announcing the games? I am already a FLO subscriber for the CAA games and the product was just OK and a bit glitchy but I prefer not to watch streamed games. Besides most the teams I watch are on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, ESPN Networks, B1G Network and ACC Network. I only watch the CAA because it was college football in the spring. It won't last 4 years. It might not get though the first one. FloSports is a shit service and @GardenStateBaller is a crack head and a fraud who spazzes and has his posts wiped. The idea that any of this will last is comical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
