Nice post. Kick off times really are awful and inconsistent. Doubt anyone listens but those are good suggestions.

With all of the fans combined for all MAC schools that is a lot of voices. We need to revolt.

I am sick of having to take days off of work to attend a game or 2 at NIU. In the dark ...in the cold. It's BS

Today's game vs. Toledo...a FIVE P.M. KICKOFF????!!!!! WTH??

Actually, some cable providers break out ESPNU separately & put it in the more expensive pkg. tier. We had to upgrade to be able to get ESPNU and CBSSN to see Huskie games. as soon as football season ends I will go back to cheaper TV pkg.

What TV provider do you have? With Directv you dont have to go too much more than the base package to get it. ESPNU is in 74 million homes.

Everyone does not get ESPNU. Worse still many more people do not get CBSSN.

Excellent Point seven and HFA.

I do not get either ESPNU or CBSSN.
Worse of all many commercial establishments do not have CBSSN.

Most people who watch sports those are the places they might look at after ESPN, ESPN2 etc.

The so called media exposure NIU and the MAC was receiving seems to have been decreased greatly.

ESPNU is equivalent to ESPN3 after ESPN and ESPN2.
Last year, if my memory is correct we had more games covered on ESPN2.
When I stream online, I get ESPN2 but not ESPNU and have had no luck trying to find CBSSN!
Worse of all commercial establishments which I am aware of when traveling do not offer CBSSN.

Seven and HFA have a valid claim which is shared by millions of Americans.
Not everyone buys Direct TV.

MAC fans need to unite in protest against this poor coverage, without significant compensation. If the MAC profits by destroying the Saturday fan base, then the conference needs to provide incentives to fans to attend these games.

Blankets, free coffee, free soda is one part of the compensation.

Proper media coverage is another part.

NIU games traditionally draw well with television audiences.
NIU seems to have grown a loyal viewing fan base.
It seems that NIU is being screwed here by ESPN.

Why is the possibility of NIU like Norte Dame having their own TV rights?

Can the MAC have their own channel like the B1G?

I would be willing to pay for a MAC football channel, to show my online support for NIU FB.
Would enough MAC supporters be willing to do the same?

If there was a MAC TV network, I would definitely pay for it. But it will not happen.

Stop the MACness
I do not believe anything can be done regarding the weeknight games. The MAC has made the decision that the fans who support the teams with their dollars, support, and attendance are not important. Television pictures of second class teams in empty stadiums are more important to the MAC. Therefore, I could not care less if there are 200 fans in the stadiums and the teams lose financial support. The MAC has decided what's important to them and it's not us.

The reticence to show empty stadiums seems to be on the downswing. The cameras have panned many an empty MAC stadium this year. Last night at Miami, I think the band was the only crowd on one side of the stadium.

And how often is DirecTV (or the other dish network) unavailable because of wind, rain, thunder or lightning? I've had neighbors over because the weather plays havoc with their reception.

Currently watching the Toledo-Ohio game, a possible MACC preview, and they might just want to cancel MAC football altogether. One of the most atrocious halves of colleges football I've ever seen.

Ohio 10-7 over Toledo at the half.

Even though they say you throw out the records in a rivalry game, I don't see anyway Toledo loses to BG. With WMU having so many injuries and starting a true FR QB, I don't see WMU pulling the upset. So, even if we win out I see us making the MACC as being a very long shot!
