Steinbrecher gived 11-minute interview on CBS Sports Radio Cleveland
http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/audio/baskin-phelps/

Scroll down to yesterday to hear the segment.

The two hosts of the show both went to Kent State and are familiar with the MAC. Actually, most of the station's personalities went to MAC schools or have ties to them.

Anyway, there are some interesting tidbits, particularly about upcoming rule changes to College Football.

Anyone ask him how it feels to be in the driver's seat of destroying MAC football fanbases?

Actually, yes, that was addressed.

It was asked. The answer was to downplay the downside of it and exaggerate the upside.

When we started playing on Fridays to get on tv, I was cool with it. When we got bumped to Thursdays, I was okay with it. Tuesday and Wednesday games are bull crap.

We should be grateful to play on ESPN3.com on Tuesday's while 1-AA schools play on the same online feed on Saturday.

No doubt about that, no positive spin can change that. The spineless ADs of this conference deserve 30% of the blame too

I'm not necessarily saying he's been a good thing for our football, but considering that we've gotten our teams into major bowls two of the last five years and our teams regularly beat P5 programs, I think 'killed' is a bit of a hyperbole. Diminished may be a more appropriate word, but it's not like we have a plethora of alternatives to choose from.

You know, if MAC stadiums were consistently packed and generating huge ticket revenues when all games were on Saturday, this would never have been an issue. If you're an AD and you're on a budget and the stadium is nearly empty on a November Saturday anyway, who really is affected? The conference and the schools desperately need the tv revenue just to sustain their programs. Hell yeah, of course I'd rather travel to watch the game on a Saturday and it would be better for overall attendance. That said, sometimes it's nice to go to a game on a Wednesday and have my Saturday for non-sport pursuits.

The other complaint is that one or two games are featured on national TV, but others are relegated to espn3. Well, that's the way it has to be. If only two games are on Tuesday, then the rest are on Saturday, then we have issues with one team getting much more rest than another for the following game, and I know the coaches hate that, especially when the true "bye week" really doesn't exist anymore in the MAC.

Who is affected? The loyal fans. They aren't great in number but if you lose them, your program has sold out the future. If you can't keep them you won't keep any casual fans either. And you'll have fewer people that have any interest in watching on TV either.

It's a death spiral. We haven't seen the worst of it yet.
