Interesting Article - WKU Move to CUSA

[MeanGreen61]

On the media side, Western gets coverage from both the Nashville, Tenn., and Louisville, Ky., markets. Those are the nation's Nos. 29 and 48 telecasts markets, respectfully. The Hilltoppers' entrance makes the coverage stronger in Nashville, which is the TV home to Middle Tennessee (in Murfreesboro).

With Louisville included, the "future" C-USA will have team coverage in 10 of the top 50 telecast markets (Dallas, Houston, Miami, Charlotte, Nashville, San Antonio, West Palm Beach, Birmingham, Norfolk and Louisville. Marshall is in the Charleston-Huntington market, No. 65).

That compares to five current top 50 markets (Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Birmingham and Memphis).

I know we liked Tulsa's proximity but I personally think WKU brings better basketball and football than what we are losing with the hurricanes. Tulsa football is solid but WKU to me has equal attendance and good upswing. Basketball is a no brainer. I think the Whats a Hilltopper wins hands down.
