ESPN 3 SoCon Games

Unread post by appmaj » Tue Oct 16, 2012 11:26 am

As the only game I am unable to make this season is this weekend, I hate that ESPN 3 is showing Elon 0 - 3 Western Carolina 0 - 5 as the SoCon Game.


That is my whine for the day.

Yes, they should have more games as optional up until that week.

I'm sure they have to put each school on there at least once during the season though.

I figure that they do have to spread the covered games around the league but this one seems like a stinker.

I am a fan of the ESPN 3 coverage, but there is way too little of it. The Big South gets more ESPN 3 coverage than the SoCon. Makes me wonder about the SoCon's leadership.

Not at all. This year's coverage just cemented my opinion.

I checked out after the PBS debacle (which, sadly, looks like a godsend at this point.)

Still cannot understand why the SoCon would draw a line in the dirt about not being on all of Alabama and Tennessee's public television to show games on PBS. Wasn't that the areas that they were concerned about?
Why did they think they could dictate terms to PBS?
No one else wants to show FCS games it seems. The wonderful CAA NBC deal isn't so fantastic, and seems they got that mainly because of basketball members that left.

So use GoASU.tv instead. Problem solved, ASU athletics supported, and no whining required.
