MyBB Friday WAC games
What are the boards thoughts on scheduling WAC games on Friday nights on weeks like this one, where two travel partners are playing and only have one game all week? Why not play those games on Friday, maybe get on ESPN3, and maximize visibility?

It makes a lot of sense if the WAC can get on national TV (ESPN2 or ESPNU). The won't do it for ESPN3. Just last night there were the following games from these conferences on the ESPN Networks:

Valparaiso at Oakland (Horizon/ESPN2)
Kent State at Akron (Mid-American/ESPNU)
Fairfield at Quinnipiac (Metro Atlantic/ESPNU)

There are enough good games in the WAC to get an occasional Friday Night game, especially since the WAC covers three time zones and can fit in to whatever time slot ESPN and their networks need.
