    You are literally competing with a game across the street as of right now. RHS is at home vs Airline. I have to assume they reach out to get that game moved to Thursday at least? Right?
    UPDATE-RUSTON vs AIRLINE on THURSDAY

    So. . . as I understood it, part of the reason CUSA doesn't have a great tv money deal is that we didn't want to be forced into weeknight games the way ESPN likes to do to the MAC and the Belt.

    But if we're getting less money, and we're on less prestigious channels, and we have to play on Fridays? That seems less then ideal.

    To me, (especially since I live in Shreveport) Thursday/Friday games are not a big deal. Tuesday/Wednesday games are the what we didn't want to get into.
    It looks like C-USA's new deal (started last year) with CBSSN calls for 3 Friday night games per year. The MAC plays most of November on Tuesday-Thursday

    UL-L has a home game on a Wednesday in October

    Most conference play on Thursday/Friday, including the P5 -

    ACC, Pac 12, Big 10, Big 12

    The SEC is the only conference that plays all games on Saturday (except Labor Day & Thanksgiving weekends)

    So where are we likely to be playing on these Friday nights? Facebook?

    all Friday C-USA home games last year were on CBS Sports Network. That should be the assumed landing spot.

    Is that worth it? I don't have cable - is that going to be as good as ESPN? Or I guess FS1? Or have we made this deal for "national" coverage on a channel nobody has or looks at? I really don't know.

    I'll be driving by Ruston on Friday, Sept. 20, and headed to Shreveport for a game that night: defending Texas Class 6A Champion Longview vs. defending Louisiana Class 5A runnerup West Monroe.
    A sizeable crowd is expected as both schools' season ticket packages include a ticket to the game at Independence Stadium.
