Of course what we are getting into is still not what we were hoping a few years ago, but it is beeter than we have. Its a shame utsa can do in two years what we been trying for.

For the sake of that is all good and decent, PLEASE REST YOUR CASE.
Dude, it's about ACCESS. Yes, many local tv coverage maps overlap, but DMAs do not overlap. All three Shreveport TV stations and both in Monroe regularly cover LA Tech. Thus, all of the counties and parishes in the Shreveport/Texarkana and Monroe/El Dorado markets have access to LA Tech coverage. In addition, several counties and parishes outside of those 2 DMAs also carry the Shreveport or Monroe stations, and thus, they also have access to LA Tech coverage. To the tv companies, it doesn't matter which teams the people in each county follow.
The media market size myth that the Conference USA has been pumping is a joke, just like the DMA map that was posted. Look at UNT, yes they have access to that whole green area on that map but do they have people actually watching or going to their games?
Classic fly-by?
Trust me, I more than grasp that DMA map is joke. And that multiple counties on that map, receive coverage from multiple TV stations. I live in one of those counties and I have access to 1 Shreveport station KSLA and 4 Tyler/Lufkin stations. This was the same weak argument that the Conference USA has been using. These define media markets don't amount to anything.

Yikes - all this shouting hurts me ears ~
I can't believe it. A member of our new conference starts a thread to welcome us to our new conference and we ensue with a ridiculous discussion on DMA!
