The MVC has 10 conference games on regular TV (4 ESPN2, 6 ESPNU), far better than the MEAC (4 ESPNU).

4 ESPN/ESPN2
ISU Blue @ WSU
WSU @ UNI
WSU @ BU
MSU @ WSU

6 ESPNU
ISU Blue @ UE
MSU @ UNI
UE @ WSU
UNI @ MSU
ISU Blue @ MSU
UNI @ ISU Blue

I'm against playing on irregular dates and times to get on ESPN. The MVC doesn't need to sell out their fans and players for exposure. The MAC does it (and now ACC and AAC although those are on Thursdays and Fridays which aren't as bad) because it would literally never make an appearance on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU by playing every game on Saturday with the rest of college football, and they don't have big fan bases so they're not sacrificing a lot of ticket revenue. The landscape is changing though with the new CBS and Fox Sports cable stations so even that may change.

Should have only been 9. The BU/WSU game was an ESPN3 game that got moved because WSU is undefeated.

Personally, I would be okay with some irregular day games. Its needed to make sure we get quality officials. Saturday night in the Valley has always been somewhat of an adventure, but its been especially bad this year. You can't have guys nobody has ever heard of doing your bigger games, and I think we've all seen enough Zelton Steed for a lifetime. You had a game on ESPN2 in primetime and the best you could do was Zelton, Hal Lusk, and Terry Davis. Awful.

Hoping the added ESPN 2 coverage and the Braves play between now and then help sell SR Night vs the shocks out!
