Re: Bone to pick with official UC athletics website

Unfortunately, and don't say I'm negative for calling them a "Sell-out"
BUT, UC does not do their own website, although you'd think they could with
DAAP etc. However, this site is done by an outside group CSTV.com.

Odd are they do this because then they (CSTV) can sell national advertising
etc. This is also why you can connect to other scores and updates
nationally... IE the scrolling news reel on top.

There is nothing you can do about it. Odds are they do 99% of the
colleges.. I just lost a Chevrolet dealership website to one of these types
of groups that focuses on the automotive industry.

Amen, brother! I was "Dial-up Man" until a few weeks ago and that video
REALLY slowed the site down for me.

I really don't like how it automatically loads and plays a video
stream when I go to the home page, the basketball page and the
football page. Even worse, sometimes when you go to the basketball or
football page, it loads a "preview page" first that also contains a video.

I wish there was a way to turn off all of the videos. If I want to
play them, let me control it.
