I had posted some time ago that the proliferation of cable sports networks was going to be a boon for mid-level programs. A few years ago I would have thought ROOT had been the revival of theMTN given the number of MW games it televised that year. This proliferation is truly the next best thing. Now State needs to give them something worth televising.We're the most desirable team in the entire conference to broadcast and it's not even close. Hence why CBSSN always picks us up, and why our games are never available for ESPN to have the chance to televise.
In my estimation CBSSN picks us up mainly because of our viewing market. Not so much for what we bring on the field. For basketball they get a double whammy, a renown team and favorable ratings.

The only reason ANY network picks any team is for ratings, which of course centers around the market. Hence why we are the most desirable team in the conference. If Wyoming was the most entertaining team in the conference not one network would care.

That may be a tough concept for quite a few people ... Planning ahead is something not enough people do, and this may actually help in getting more fans to step up support of the team beyond deciding to whether or not to go to the game the day of (or a few days prior to) the game based on the teams' progress in the previous weeks. I'm trying, they need to figure out when HC is We'll be taking the week off for it, so we can hit all the stuff we have missed since we've been gone. If it is in November, I hope a BBall game was on that week. For now, Homecoming is slated for the USU game unless TV changes the schedule. That said, this may be the reason to change the date. I'll be out of town during that period and planned to be home for homecoming. This would make it difficult since I will be going back too late Friday to catch the game.

Thank goodness we only got one. I wish it'd be an away game as Friday night home games suck. That's high school football night and our $#!+ attendance that night will reflect that. Yes, they are not fun unless you can get away from work early. Saturday should be the day for college football games, but you will notice that our conference doesn't get many games televised on Saturday's unless they are playing a P5 team, or the game is a real late evening start time after all the other games have concluded. Thursday evening is another way for ESPN, and major networks to get us air time. That screws up our schedule also, and makes it a short week to get prepared.
