Re: new ESPN3 deal

Surprised uni is not hosting one. Indoors has to be a little easier setup and uni is the class of the conference historically.

Re: new ESPN3 deal

UNI versus Southern Utah may make the grade, as they are supposed to be a playoff contender this year. Could be a good match up towards the end of the regular season.

Re: new ESPN3 deal

Can't believe they didn't pick SIU at UNI. So what determines if they broadcast the 2 additional games?

Re: new ESPN3 deal

SIU @ UNI is already being televised by KWWL. They would have to pay KWWL something for the rights, correct?

Does it make a difference that Southern Utah is not an MVFC team? So far the three listed are all in-conference games. Or does that even matter?

The ESPN selections include one appearance from each of the top six teams in the pre-season poll and will feature four of the league's five student-athletes targeted on the pre-season watch lists for the Walter Payton and Buck Buchanan awards. Two additional "wild-card" games (to air in November) will be announced by Oct. 10.

Re: new ESPN3 deal

wonder how much it would cost for CFU to become one of those ESPN3 providers or whatever.

probably a fair amount, else they likely would have done it already. and I'm not sure it's worth it for them to spend alot on it, as there are other methods for people to access it evidently.
