ESPN and the SunBelt!!!!!!!!!!

Watched college gameday today....If our goal is exposure we have to stay with ESPN. No team got mentioned from C-USA. I don't think they talked about a PAC or Mountain West team either. Until they lose the viewership, we have to stay with them.
Had great coverage of Sunbelt game...GeorgiaSt. and Coastal.
The bias to the big 10 is ridiculous.
They also gave the AAC teams good coverage.
I found it interesting that the Charlotte at Duke game (which ESPN owns) is not on any ESPN stations but the App/ULM is on ESPNU. Does that mean we outdraw Duke or is it Duke would not move the game to 4:00pm?????

I think all of us vividly remember when Duke games were never aired on TV and you could buy a 50 yard line ticket at the gate 10 mins before kickoff. All that work they've done to Wallace Wade is just lip stick on a pig...Basketball is still the only thing that matters in Durham.

The Sun Belt must stick with the mothership, ESPN is college football. Look at what many Marshall fans post on boards and social media. Herd fans hate their media deal and for good reason, the exposure is trash! CUSA wet the bed with the hodgepodge set up. The Sun Belt is making hay with the relationship having multiple conference teams ranked over the past few years.
UNCC is catching a 1-5 Duke team at the right time, the niners might just get their 1st A5 scalp this evening.

If we can keep winning and Coastal keeps winning ESPN may jump in and move our game with Coastal. They are really high on Coastal right now.

The situation would be right but the calendar and weather would be wrong for GameDay on the Myrtle Beach boardwalk that day.

You mean Move it to primetime? Don’t think they have announced a station or time yet but I agree, I feel this game is going to get a national audience. Looking at the schedule that weekend, I don’t see too many high profile games with ranked teams.
