I hope it didn't cost too much of whatever political capital we have with the conference/network. Because it probably wasn't worth pounding the table in my opinion.
I don’t think it cost us any political capital. There are already 2 other games that night - 1 CUSA & 1 SBC.Quote:

This is the dumbest move our president and AD have allowed since the rebranding of Women's sports.
So what should we have done with this game? Leave it on a Tuesday if we were offered Friday?Quote:

That question is really revealing. We have worked ourselves into a situation where there are zero good options. All are terrible.Quote:

That week's schedule is weird. I wish we could have worked to get Liberty or WKU to move their game to Friday.

Tuesday
UTEP @ Kennesaw St
Wednesday
FIU @ Missouri St
Jax St @ MTSU
Friday
SHSU @ Tech
Saturday
Delaware @ Liberty
NMSU @ WKU
I have my doubts that the viewership numbers are meaningful enough to justify the choices we've had thrust upon us by the conference (and that we meekly accept)Quote:
