Considering they invited 4, tells me that WKU and MTSU very well might be staying. Otherwise they would have invited 5-6 schools.

Yeah Mu, wouldn't it be nice of Judy to let us know WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

Either we have wku and mtsu staying or not but don't play games with us, Judy. Personally, I'm hoping we keep those two as they're good in both sports (the ones that really count) and will make the conference stronger from the start.

Or trying to weed out the 30 FCS schools that called, I'd imagine that might take awhile...

Probably working on Missouri State before taking a deep breath and taking a look at what is next on the agenda.

There you go, it's one way to get rich and it's your idea. Go get 'em Spunky. If there was a cusa network I'd subscribe to it, gladly. It would be great to watch all cusa sports related from home because I'm home bound.

It already exists and is painful.

Yep, it leaves a LOT to be desired. I believe Liberty could give everyone some lessons on how should be done.

I'm not just talking about just games. Each school could produce weekly shows on what's going on around said campus sports wise. Maybe have the schools film department do specials on whatever historical thing is relevant at the time per week. Also do live radio sports shows that are broadcast locally at the school but is being filmed and streamed on the app. Plus recording games and having CUSA classic games available. Just charge something like 5 dollars a month so people forget about the cost since it is so low then sign up as many people as you can. But make sure all of this is at a high production value.

Liberty has produced games not only for ESPN+ & ESPN3 but also for ESPN2 & ESPNU and other regionals like Root & FSN. The production standards are significantly better than the streaming done by nearly every G5 school (and many P5s). Now whether there is economic reason to do it for the league may be a whole other story. But I wouldn't dismiss anything out of hand.

I think Liberties experience in that sector is something they bring to the table and something we desperately need, quality production. It looks as if Liberty already does a lot of things I would like to see happen at all Universities.

I absolutely think that media production would give the conference some leverage they have never had. Being able to do that could indeed get some games on some of the over the air channels and sub-channels when options were limited.

NMSU has also done this for years. Heck, half of all the newscasters, reporters and cameramen on TV in ABQ and El Paso came through the NMSU program and worked at Aggie Vision.

WKU used to produce our own games on FCS until CUSA told us no. I am sure we still help out with ESPN+ but its a lot better than most productions I see on ESPN+ or 3. After seeing FIU's production vs. WKU, may never find a conference. Its acceptable in CUSA to have cameras shake 90% of the time apparently.

All these ideas are great but the main thing is putting them to practice. I couldn't care less which school would/could do it I'd like it done. Only one thing though is that it would have to be on television. I know that Enemas U. does it already because they have broadcast games on channel 8 in El Paso. That's fine with me even though channel 8's reception (?) is still not very good, it's not sharp like regular channels but heck I used to watch Howdy Dowdy when I was little and they weren't sharp either but I was happy.

Streaming apps can be installed on TV's now and without a TV that can do that there is roku, firestick, apple TV and some google thing that do the same thing threw the HDMI port. Plus you could easily watch it over your phone using a app. My Apple TV on my ipad and iphone combines all my streaming services into one easy to use GUI.

Thank you Premier Xi, but I don't speak Chinese.

I'd have to find someone who knows what the heck you're talking about, maybe one of those Chinese spies we keep hearing about all the time. LOL
But, I'm game to learn as long as I can watch cusa on tv or somewhere else convenient.
