MVC games on espn?

Just checked and no apparent conf. games on ESPN or the U. Did I miss something here? As per USA TODAY.

Thats odd, but you're right. After checking some schedules at ESPN.com we have no tv games listed. Did we get dropped completely or has the valley worked out a deal somewhere else? Maybe with the NBA lockout Comcast or Fox sports is picking up a ton of games. (would be some nice exposure for the valley)

The Valley will release its final ESPN schedule this month. With the lockout now in full swing, they may be adding more games to the ESPN family of networks... But rest assured, we are still on ESPN.

Thanks baller. I got a little shakey when I saw the Rider v Loyola of MD game listed and no Valley dates.

If you are interested, we have been compiling the MVC TV games like we have in the past. Here is what we have so far along with some projected games.

When the Valley releases their schedule and the other local coverage from the other schools are announced we will compile all of that info on that page as well.

CSN = Comcast Sports Network (Chicago)

A lot of the games on comcast are no doubt due to the NBA lockout. CSN and WGN usually show Bulls games. Whenever we get games on CSN, it has usually been comcast spotlight. This should give the Redbirds some good visability in the Chicagoland area this season.
