Patty Viverito FBS Comments

NDSU has every game on Television, so I fail to understand how a MVFC TV package benefits NDSU. It just provides more TV for the rest of the conference teams, and lifts them up, correct? UND's conference has a TV package, yet they are barely included . . . so please explain how a TV package for a conference is such a wonderful thing? For the B1G a TV package is huge. For the MVFC or Big Sky, it is pretty meaningless as NDSU is already television all games, and the package does not delivery significant dollars to NDSU.

It certainly doesn't warrant non-stop whining and knashing of teeth, does it?

The more exposure the conference gets, it's better for us. You want our future recruits to know the teams in our conference and the brand. Otherwise it's just like the D2 days of playing no name teams like Augustana, St Cloud, and Mankato in front of small crowds. There is a hige difference between those teams and UNI, SIU, and Youngstown. I want recruits to know they will be playing at cool stadiums with large road crowds. Players want that. Heck a selling point I'm the big 10 is you get to play at other cool stadium like the big house.

So when sdsu, Illinois state, southern Illinois get new stadiums and more exposure it's a good thing. As long as we keep up

My thoughts are if you don't start seeing teams like Indiana State and Missouri State invest in the conference, football, and TV get them the fuck out of here. We need teams who want to win and draw. I would get Eastern Illinois in a heartbeat over Indiana State who obviously couldn't care less about football by the looks of the crowds. If you don't draw 10k regularly you are small time and not committed. (Yeah eiu has a capacity of only 10k but more potential in a better conference)

One problem is that the MVFC is a one sport conference with a part time commissioner and what other staff? The Big Sky is an all sports conference with a full time commissioner and probably a decent sized staff.

Like I said in a different post the MVFC would be better off run by the Summit.

Exactly. There is really no connection to the MVC.

Yes/no.

MVFC office: 1818 Chouteau Ave.; St. Louis, MO 63103; 314.444.4360
MVC office: 1818 Chouteau Ave.; St. Louis, MO 63103; 314.444.4360
PFL office: 1818 Chouteau Ave.; St. Louis, MO 63103; 314.444.4360


MVFC staff:
Patty Viverito, Commissioner; also PFL Commissioner & MVC Senior Associate Commissioner
Mike Kern, Associate Commissioner; also MVC Associate Commissioner
Greg Walter, Assistant Commissioner (compliance); also MVC Associate Commissioner for Institutional Services
Maxine Day, Executive Assistant; also MVC & PFL Executive Assistant
William Carollo, Coordinator of Officials; also Big Ten & MAC Coordinator of FB Officials


So there is a staff, but not many of them and they all do at least double duty with another conference. It also shows the MVFC and the MVC are completely linked at the administrative level.

Total staff
PFL - 3
MVFC - 5
BSC - 11
MVC - 14
MAC - 15(+?)
B1G - 57

I almost feel sorry for conference commissioners:

Either they're trying to do something and called "guano"-crazy for it, or they are do-nothing empty suits. Damned if they do; damned if they don't.

But they get good seats and free tickets to games, so, nope, can't feel sorry for them.

I feel sorry for Fullerton. He has some really shitty football to watch.
