I just read on Onnidan that the networks went to commercial break just as NCCU was coming up. Wow! They spent $500k to get to Pasadena and didn't even get two seconds of air time. I guess it's a coincidence that the only HBCU band didn't get shown?

I saw them on the Hallmark channel instead of them on the ABC.

Nice for the Eagles but they shoulda kept the money to help pay Frazier and his boys over the next five years. They are going to need it.

I saw them on the Hallmark channel instead of them on the ABC. Yep. I saw them on several channels. Hey, they also made the local news. Good for them.

At most places they are but that's still a lot of money to spend for 25 seconds on televsion on a holiday morining when a lot of folks are still slepping in.

All the money for this trip came from donations and it is more than a parade on New Years Day. It is a whole weekend event with other performances that they were participating in. Overall, it helps with recruiting for the school and the band.

Overall, it helps with recruiting for the school and the band. Hey, I didn't have a problem with it. I figured that they figured that it was to their advantage for the very things you mentioned above. They did get the money through donations. My only problem with nccu is that they stole the word "Pride" and attached it to eagle.
