Any idea why the Ball State 10/10 home game continues to be TBA for game time?

The game time should be released early next week. I believe they are waiting to see if the game is picked up on any ESPN networks.

There's always hope for ESPN3!

Previously they have said that game time will be announced 10 days before - it is all about TV

Any chance this game is picked up by CSN? It seems like ISU is on there every week.

I have a feeling that CSN is a beautiful thing of the past. We have graduated to bigger things. With the ESPN contract and our association with ISP, we have entered the big time. That's why most of our games are on ESPN3.

If the BSU game is on ESPN3, let's hope it's on College Extra.

Game time to be released on Monday, 9/28

Does ESPN-plus still show the MAC Game of the Week at 11 a.m. on Saturday afternoons on Channel 50? If so, wonder if this would get picked there.

I sure hope we don't get the 11am game time to be on some barely watched tv channel. Not to mention tv drags the game out and kills our mojo. Please let us get a 2:30 or 4:00 game time with no tv for this one (sorry far away huskies fans)

When was their last 11 a.m. home game? I remember an early start to the Toledo game in 02 for TV and am sure they had other 11 a.m. starts at home since but it's been a while.

No doubt it will be on ESPN3.com so we will still get the TV timeouts.

It will likely have a kickoff between 1-3pm.

2010 vs Temple.

Odd, I believe every MAC game other than ours has been announced. Maybe we will be on real TV?

2:30pm ESPN3.com

My thoughts exactly.

The MAC/NIU was waiting on the Amercan Sports Network (old ESPN Regional) to select their game of the week. They selected the WMU-CMU game and that will be shown at 11am CST.

That is how every other conference does it.

First 3 weeks, Homecoming games and Prime Time TV slots (MACtion) are the only games that have a kickoff time before the season starts. All the rest of the games have a 12 day window.
