I have to make a few points from things I have noticed in the past few days:
1) The MVFC might possibly have the WORST TV contract of any Division I football conference. I do know that the MVFC has an even worse contract than the Division II Gulf South Conference, because the GSC has 8 games a year on ESPN3 and Comcast Sports South simultaneously, while the MVFC only has its 8 games on ESPN3. It was a better deal when one game a week was on FSN Midwest/North. I am really worried about the MVFC deal this year unlike last year, cause last fall we had a workaround login for ESPN3, but it has now been closed off, so now I know for a fact that most people living in th Twin Cities metro area do not have access to ESPN3, since a lot of TC fans have Century Link which has no ESPN3. (I have reason to believe that a good majority of computer users in the US are not able to get ESPN3). It was a total mistake to get involved with a broadcasting contract with a situation as fragile as the ESPN3 one, since a majority of ISPs in the US still refuse to carry it, and actually now that I think about it, I don't even know why it should be the ISPs fault, if ESPN wasn't a company run by douchebags, they would offer it as a free streaming service to everyone regardless of ISP.
2) I am concerned that there will be absolutely no TV for the Colorado State game, since the MWC's TV contract involves a lot less games this year than last. If the Mtn. was still around, I bet we could watch it on there.
3) No matter how many games on Midco Sportsnet we get, almost everyone in the TC metro (and a vast majority of Minnesota) will not be able to get those games. And of course the city of Fargo proper.
4) I am very worried that like last season, I will be forced to watch all the games online, except for the fact that I'm living in the goddamn Twin Cities now instead of a foreign city 1,200+ miles from Fargo. I guess it'll be great for a lot of you guys if we get a bunch more Statewide NBC games and Midco gamess, a fat lot of good it will do for any of the alums/fans living in Minneapolis, or fans in Fargo.
So anyone have any speculation on what kind of TV we'll have??
