MyBB OT: Seriously...why's a Big South Game the only college basketball game on TV tonight
The Big South? Radford vs. Highpoint? On ESPNU? This should be a Sun Belt game or something!

Is the Sun Belt's basketball TV contract that bad?

Primarily because no one wants to play basketball on a Friday Night. Too many High School games going on.

Conference has an ESPN Wild Card game coming up. Don't think the network has chosen which game it will be yet.

I don't know about Atlanta, but High School athletics is so popular around here, you would be voluntarily destroying your attendance by challenging it.

Too many parents have kids involved in the games to be able to skip.

That's true for football (I mean...local radio stations pre-empt Braves' games for high school football games), but not for the other sports.

There are only 7 total D1 games tonight.

I believe WKU-UL-Lafayette was selected for one of the wildcard games.

Pretty sure TXST should a least half way fill the arena before we go on national TV and most likely get spanked. To me college basketball starts in March...

Not in Atlanta. Probably in the rest of the state but 680 the Fan moves their high school game broadcasts to their smaller 1230/1340 signals when there is conflict with a Braves game.
