Interesting quote from another article:

In an era when viewers have literally hundreds of networks to choose
from and can use digital video recorders and video-on-demand as well as
newer services such as Netflix to watch TV on their terms, sports has been seen as the one form of programming that can stand up to technology.

I'm pretty psyched about this -- so does this mean all of our games will be on FOX 1?

Will we still have any games on ESPN or ESPN 2 and 3?

I know we have some media/production guys on here I would be interested in their thoughts on this.

I would assume so--I don't know why that would change the highlighted portion.

In 2005, C-USA began a long-term television contract with CBS Sports Network (formerly known as CBS College Sports Network and before known as CSTV) to carry a variety of sports. The deal largely replaced the one it had with ESPN and ESPN Plus, though some C-USA football and men's basketball games are still carried by the ESPN networks.

I like. I think this is a good move on Fox's part. Remember when the Fox Channel first appreared on the scene? The "big dogs" they were competing against said it wouldn't last...well, history has shown that it not only lasted, but that it has prospered. If I were ESPN I would be taking due notice.

And for the Speed Channel fans out there...my guess right now is that lots of motorsports will still be shown on Fox1 after the changeover...hard for a start up to find 24 hour/365 day sports without the NFL and a few others. So, I would fear not....

Wasn't Fox sports born out of the old cable channel HSE? I remember watching that channel as a kid. I don't think it was started from scratch.

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.

      Well, San Jose wilted. Losing 35-21, 2:00 min remain.
