I said on that poll, but the only part that matters is regional exposure. National exposure is a different animal, and you can't cross that bridge until you cross the regional one first. I know Drexel and Northeastern, and I believe Hofstra are all taking advantage of that and using the Flo money to broadcast regionally (NBC Philly, NESN etc). So any deal forward needs to have some form of regional broadcasts. Our conference has always had some minor national coverage: ESPN2 for title game, NBCSN, CBSSN. So maintaining that is important as well.

The set up the league has now is far from perfect, but also far from terrible. Do people know anything about Flo? No. Does anyone carry Flo? No. But I dont think our conference right now is vying for national eyeballs. Lets focus on regional eyeballs first. The schools that are just pocketing the money are being disingenuous and not helping the conference grow. But I imagine most who are not using the money for regional tv are honestly using it for better travel amenities, recruiting visits etc all which do help grow them individually. But the schools are always going to like being given money and be allowed to choose how to spend it, versus paying money for exposure and hampering the ability to spend freely for their own programs.
