Maybe what people want to see is Kid Brewer Stadium, it is so photogenic. Also, App has beaten so many people in the past that many people tune in just to see Appalachian lose. Maybe it is the fact that our primary color is black; people seem to love the color black, so much so that they pick that color for their really special game uniforms. Does that mean that every home game for Appalachian is a special game? I believe it was called "Black Saturday" for a reason.

Does that lower level ESPN Thursday night “exposure” really matter anymore? We used to think it was really important from a recruiting standpoint but is that really a thing anymore?

On average how much money do we make for a sold out Saturday home game versus some TV revenue from a Thursday night game at Coastal?
Problem is consistently getting your butt kicked on national TV. Let that keep happening and at least we’ll get all Saturday games back.
I’m trying to remember a recent televised game that App won…maybe the CURE Bowl?
Season opener last year. Vs. UNCC at BofA, on ESPNU as a part of the Duke's Mayo Classic.

Before that, @ECU in '24 (also on ESPNU). And yeah, before that, the Cure Bowl.
