For the rest of the conference...it's a great deal. I've looked at the ASN affiliate list, and there is a ton of potential for our Texas, Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia Members to get games broadcast to a fairly wide audience due to the availability of ASN stations in those areas.

However, as of right now the state of Arkansas has one ASN affiliate. ASN Stations are not required to show ASN games in many instances, they can show whatever they want many times. That means there is a very strong potential that an Arkansas State game would not get picked up in any of the North Carolina or Georgia markets where we could really use coverage. The benefits to Arkansas State in this are nil, the benefits to the Sun Belt Conference in this are rpetty strong overall

Don't mistake me for trashing the deal...I am simply trashing the fact there is a gigantic hole in the ASN coverage map directly over the state of Arkansas.

You are looking at it all wrong. This may not benefit stAte, but it does zero harm. Don't see why you are so upset about it. There is potential for future games in the coming years that might showcase your team in other markets. So there is no downside.

It's a 1 year deal. There is no guarantee of a future deal. Just a point of clarification.

The past 3 years I have been able to get almost every TXST game from one form of media or another. This sucks.

From the stAte perspective, I hope to heavens we are never on ASN for a couple reasons: 1. There is one ASN Affiliate in Arkansas, only a few people actually can watch it, and the station never carried local games. 2. It means are not on an ESPN Network that day...and I want as many games possible on an ESPN network

I'd gladly trade those spots to Texas State.

If it's on ASN we will watch on ESPN3 like we already do.

Yup, nothing wrong with additional exposure...

What additional exposure? We still get ESPN3...yes, but ASN is not going to bring any extra eyeballs. You guys have to understand how ASN works. They have a slew of options for games, and we would be one of those options

It means we probably get our games on a single station...in Arkansas, and we basically get the eyeballs of people who are our own fans anyway, and we lose control of kickoff times, meaning the potential of kicking off at Noon one day all for the glory of a game getting broadcast to an additional 400 people, and that's if a Jonesboro station actually pays to pick up ASN games, AND KATV moves our games off its stupid digital channel that no one gets.

We get zero exposure out of ASN

I disagree (to an extent). Back before i cut the cord, i had Comcast, and unless there was a certain game i wanted to watch, i'd lie on the couch on a Saturday and watch whatever games were on. I wouldn't look through the channels i thought that i knew games would be playing on, instead i'd just go to the sports menu on the box and it would list all of the games that were going on at that point in time. I watched a couple of CUSA games through that, being broadcast through ASN. Granted, the game would have to compete with the other games that were on, but i prefer to watch less well known schools play, so i'd turn to the group of 5 games before the P5 games. So i do think we'll get some traffic.

What i do wish is that ASN (or ESPN3) would have the first and 10 markers incorporated into their broadcasts. Surely the technology can't be that expensive anymore.

You are assuming that KATV won't shift an AState involved game from 7.2 to 7.1 and assuming that neither KAIT or KJNE will pick up the game via syndication. 8.1, 8.2, 39.1 and 39.2 are all available on satellite and cable.

You do get some weird carriage decisions. Tuned to 7.2 one Saturday to watch a CUSA game and they had a DIII game out of Iowa on.

Unless you get a bad start time to accommodate. Cajuns - Broncos simulating the surface of Venus instead of playing at night may hurt the Cajuns ticket sales.

At 11 am today, temp in Lafayette was 92, heat index 103.

At 3pm temp was 94, heat index 107

That's what the fans will go through. Players on artificial turf will be much worse.

Let's remember that 2:30 start against stAte in 2010 when temps on the field approached 130.

Ah. Gotcha, that would be a negative.

That is a digital sub channel of 45 correct? I dropped TWC for DirecTV and I don't think DirecTV carries the subchannels. I also dropped ESPN from DirecTV, but plan to pick it up for a few months. I thought ESPN3 was throuh your ISP but my TWC internet will not let me in and when I dropped it from DirecTV I lost ESPN3 also.

As everyone is saying, ASN is a real hit or miss deal for viewing. Living here in Charlotte, as one poster pointed out, WCCB does carry ASN but they always carry the UNC-Charlotte games and nothing else even if there is no conflict. Yet JMU has an alumni living out in Seattle, WA who could view the few games we were on ASN. I think if you discover that your local station is owned by Sinclair, then you have a good chance of viewing the SB games. Otherwise, your chances are very slim.

That's my biggest concern about this deal overall. Most of us are going to have to hope that there is a local station who carries ASN, and is willing to broadcast our games.

I did not get to watch a single CUSA game on ASN last year, and my guess is something similar happens with the SBC. At least we have ESPN3 rights for our games unlike CUSA.

A buddy recounts that game often.
A police officer kept coming over to check on one of our mutual friends because he was struggling (of course he weighed about 50 pounds more back then). Another friend hasn't worn the hat from that day again because so much of it is white from dried sweat. He rode with my buddy and drank a liter of water after the game in addition to what he had during the game and they didn't need a bathroom break until they hit Arkadelphia.

My buddy recounts fans in single line sitting in the shade cast by a light pole.

I was in Athens under similar conditions and saw two UGA fans removed on a stretcher. I was afraid I had made a mistake that posed life and death consequences.

If you have a cw or fox affiliate near you it is likely your away games that are carried on asn will be able to be watched.
While the money is nothing, to me i liked asn. They get the G5 fanbases. You wont hear a single thing about any p5 game like on the espn channels. Nothing wrong with the production quality either. Its not a bad thing at all.

I was actually very against ASN, but only because of the hit or miss coverage. With it being available without blackout on ESPN3, I have no complaints, although if it wasn't still available on ESPN3 id still be against it.

We don't have either unfortunately. Jonesboro's got a Raycom owned ABC affiliate, and a startup CBS station that pretty much only exists because we're not considered local to either Little Rock or Memphis.
