Looks to be an improvement over past years. The first three games are night games, and then the last three games are day games. I personally would have preferred the Prairie View game to be a night game as October 22nd is still on the border as far as weather goes, and I'm assuming there is no TV of note for that game. But the two November games are day games and that's perfectly fine.

Looks like we will have some significant gaps in our TV coverage this year.

The good news is that the conference is making a concerted effort to improve the streaming product, which may (or may not) include ESPN3. The new conference product link and story are listed below.

I think some of our games still might get picked up by ASN at the very least. I think BEin can also do a few more.

Quite possible ... but it feels like start times typically don't get announced if there is still a concrete possibility of a traditional TV broadcast.

Start times can always be changed, however.

If nothing else, let's hope the ESPN3 initiative kicks off this year.

This is great news as for years people have been recommending early season night games because of the heat and later season day games when it gets cooler. Nice that the Athl Dept has been successful this season catering to fans' desires better. I hope it helps attendance figures.
