ODU Basketball Coverage
Well all seems to be progressing well during the summer of 2014. On the football side of the house, (1) recruiting seems to be going really well, (2) expanding football facilities and completing required modifications to Foreman Field and (3) football is on TV at least 6 times and hopefully 8-9 games when the season is all said and done; basketball seems to be going just as well; (1) recruiting seems to be ALOT more visible with the 'right' kind of prospects, (2) new practice facility appears destined to be a reality, but (3) will media and TV coverage be fixed for 2014-15. Last year was terrible. OK they were coming off of a 5-25 season. So this year should not be the same,, right? Will half the games be televised next year? The CUSA tournament should have at least all the games from the quarterfinals on TV, after all this is a FBS big time conference, right?. (Personally I would a return to 2/3s to 3/4 of the games but I'll settle for half. I would think Coach Jones needs this kind of coverage for the program to land more of these prospects he is going after.) Richmond, VCU, @ George Mason should all get regional coverage to go along with the Paradise Jam on the non-conference side. Although I am not that concerned with the non-conference slate's coverage as I am with the CUSA coverage!!! Now is the time to get this fixed! Even if the additional exposure comes in the form of the internet like ESPN3 or whatever...
