...and hopefully were given a media guide...
Was there anything mentioned about what weekends the regional MAC Game of the Week would be played and what MAC games would be telecast and by whom? I found a couple extra games here and there searching the athletics websites, but I don't think I got close to 50 league controlled games. I'd like to get them on my website ASAP.
I have
13 games on Comcast regional networks (CN8, CSN Chicago, Comcast Local)
1 game on ESPN+
14 games on ESPN Networks (including MACC)
1 game on ESPN360 Broadband
For a total of 29 games
Also, was it mentioned specifically what games would be streamed online?
Thanks.
Don't forget at least one ABC game!
I wasn't counting that because it is part of the Big Ten TV package. It shouldn't be getting counted in the numbers Chryst was passing out on Monday.
Same goes for any MAC team playing a road game vs. an OOC opponent (like Ohio at Rutgers on MSG).
Matt, I have no answers for you but I just want to say I like your website. It is very useful, and thanks for keeping it updated.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I read a short time ago that each time a team is on television, no matter who's contract it's under, it counts as one of the league's "exposures" for contract fulfillment purposes. Is this the same thing? I don't know.

I believe that is only if it is a home game for a conference member. So when Toledo hosts Kansas it is one exposure for the MAC. When Toledo hosts Ball State it will be two exposures for the MAC. When NIU plays at Ohio State, there will be zero exposures for the MAC.
That is the way I understand it at least.
Miami had a release about a week ago saying the Ohio at Miami game on Nov 24th is on ESPNU.

I've used that term 'exposures' before. It is used in the context of the MAC/ESPN TV contract. Each MAC team (it would count two for a conference game) counts one exposure if the game is on ESPN/ESPN2/etc. A MAC/Big Ten game (e.g., NIU @ Iowa) would count one exposure. BG/UT would count two exposures.
