So, I watch these mid-week games even if just in the background. I’ve watched the MAC in previous years and mainly CUSA this year. Tues/Wed, some Thursdays and even Fridays.
What if the UAC approached ESPN and CBS Sports about a similar deal for Sept instead of late season? I’m not sure non-conference opponents would protest much if on TV.
Thoughts?

I have thought the same thing... The problem I have is weeknight games.... If they would put a game on Saturday in any timeslot, I think it would be better... nobody is showing up in the week. What I've seen, the UAC is better than CUSA and it's not as close as you would think... |

Comes down to money. You lose the opportunity for a big crowd for Saturday game vs weeknight game. Question is does the tv coverage pay for the attendance loss? At the same time for the smaller school in a state where 2 prominent schools take away your student body and others on Saturdays maybe you gain some audience?

Are you talking head to head competition, or eyeballs for a Wednesday night game? |
