Found this quote on the CUSA board
-- Maybe its just me...but the quote seems to be implying that the BE and CSTV are involved in somehow....but to my knowledge the only BE/CSTV deal has been for women's hoops/baseball etc...
-- Its hard to imagine the BE scheduling the MWC conference in hoops if we weren't direct to by a network...certainly playing non conference games against that league wouldn't be a "made for tv event" from our pespective

Quote:Found this on MWC Board, which in turn, orginially came from Wyoming Board. Based on comments made by MWC Commissioner Thompson.
"SCHEUDLE UPGRADE: MWC Commissioner Craig Thompson says the league will be looking to book more Big East and Conference USA schools in the near future, maybe as soon as next season. He says the league's new television agreement is a major reason."
"CSTV is really pushing for us to do a lot of cross scheduling with both Confernce USA and the Big East, Thompson says. We are more than willing to do that. I said we're not going to go there two times for (them coming to) our place once. But I think we're going to get a whole bunch of home and homes with those two leagues."
"We're going to make some made for TV events, if you will."
