Flo Sports

[Ron Boerger]

Quillman is working on getting one of these Blohar.... I mean FLOhards on his Q-cast to try and nail down these clowns down.  I'll try to post the link when he announces it.

The Q-cast is something Bob has done for years that highlights D3 basketball, mostly teams/players back east but let's face it, that's where most of them are.

@SimpleCoach, a poster on the D3 soccer boards who also hosts a podcast (All Things D3 Soccer), posted this on Quillman's Twitter thread and it's worth posting here too:

Couple of things that I noticed with Flo.
1.  I do think the quality of the broadcast has for the most part... most part.... improved.
2.  I've noticed that engagement in the world of D3 soccer has declined.  This is anecdotal to me.
3.  I don't know of and material impact that signing with Flo has had on any one school.  ie.  No new building because they got money from Flo.
4.  I do know for a fact that viewership is a 1/4, at best, of what it was before.  Again, soccer is my sport.
5.  I've been told by more coaches than I can count that they think it's a terrible model and would rather go out and raise money to make up the difference.
6.  For parents of players.... it's just another fee.

There are some that would defend Flo Sports, though I have never seen Frank Rossi explain his reasoning in full.  I would suggest that the two discuss the matter, but for whatever reason, the latter seems to be needlessly antagonistic in his approach to others.

When Bob wants to understand what the concept of "apples to apples" is, @D3FBHuddle
, maybe I'll take him seriously. He seems to have trouble comprehending how view counts work, what the schools are comparing, and why it's not representative of the reality. Flo spelled it out for him, and he still has no clue what he's talking about. https://x.com/bquillmanqcast

Frank Rossi's a rather combative type. In his defense, he's been the recipient of a lot of nastiness from D3 football partisans who haven't taken a shine to his opinions regarding their teams, particularly in recent years. But Bob Quillman's a mild-mannered guy who doesn't pick fights. Bob is trying to make this FloSports debate all about facts rather than opinions. Rossi may think he's sticking to facts as well, but his needless ad hominem hostility detracts from his credibility.
