So TXA21 lol

Sure why not

Simply incredible with all of the sports channels looking for content that won't be filled with NBA or NHL we can't get somewhere else other than ESPN3.  What a joke.  

Maybe whatever weak television rights deal we have in place means we can't just move to FS or CBSSN?  

 

ESPNEWS right now is slated to show cornhole at that time!

Streaming only is disappointing, but apt I guess, considering we flopped hard last year, lost Mason Fine, and we're playing a FCS school... 

I mean we don't really have a good TV deal, and you said it. If we went 6-6 or something better, we might've seen something better

We are playing Houston Baptist. If we were playing even a Sun Belt team it would be a different story.

I mean what do you expect lol

SMU TX ST gets the 3:00 ESPN slot, and Memphis Ark St get the primetime ESPN slot

What can I say?  The P6 conference gets the gravy.

[RiseUNT]

Well I don’t want or get ESPNnews, ESPNU, or any other random sports channels. I do have internet and a good streaming set-up so I’m happy with ESPN+ and ESPN3.

 Does the conference comish have anything to do with our out of conference scheduling and tv?

AAC already has a contract with ESPN so ya they get top ESPN. Plus those games are better than ours vs an fcs.

[Big Z]

My understanding is that ESPN 3 streaming is run by the home team’s own camera crew? 

[RiseUNT]

Also 3pm San Marcos on September 5th. It will be hot and humid. Gonna be a lot of cramps and pulled muscles. Hopefully nobody really gets sick.

I doubt we see a lot of TX ST fans

I'm not sure if C-USA or our Athletic Department has more say in choosing our TV Deal but if we had a donation fund to get us on real TV occasionally, I would chip in monthly lol.

Yes it's been like that. Same with Plus. Luckily we have top notch camera crew and solid broadcasters

Our Television deals are part of Judy's grand plan that so far has failed to materialize. You would think she would be out there pushing for more TV exposure this year. Perhaps she is and HBU just isn't pulling in enough interest. I would think college FB fans just want to watch some football.

Fox, FS1 and FSSW hold no rights to any games being played on the opening weekend and the only to get any rights would have been sub license from ESPN or CBSSN.

The question is why isn't CUSA primary partner CBSSN taking any of the three CUSA games that weekend. They aren't even carrying any games and hold no rights to NHL, NBA, MLB or even the US Open Tennis which will dominant ESPN2 that weekend.

When's the last time we had a noon game in September...At Home?

 

The only one I can think of is the Smut Game during the McCarney era where we whooped that a$$

The Ball State game in 2013 may have been a noon game. That was a scorcher! My wife exited to the concourse seeking shade  shortly after kickoff.

There are 9 games that week and one is played Thursday night. So there are a grand total of 8 games that Saturday and we get streaming only. That is a failure of galactic proportions.  There are literally more networks that carry college football than there are games...and we get streaming.

There is almost nothing more "North Texas" than that...

I was wrong. There are only six games that Saturday. Six.

This. How does anyone think this is an attractive game for the networks?
