TV exposure is the "coin of the realm" of college football. Of course there are both advantages and disadvantages to these week night games but on balance the conference, the programs and the University presidents obviously see the advantages as outweighing the disadvantages whereas those of us who like to attend the games in person and maybe do some tailgating tend to see the disadvantages and favor a total return to Saturday games, but I suspect that we will continue to be trumped in favor of weeknight games.

Of course there is a real possibility that the MAC will eventually get pushed out of even the Tuesday and Wednesday slots as more and more of the "big boys" decided to increase their exposure with weeknight games. Not likely that tOSU or UM or Penn State or Texas or Alabama or a few other schools with 80,000+ average home attendances will go that route, but there are a lot of other schools that probably are willing-----which is why the MAC no longer plays on Thursday nights as they did a few years ago when they first blazed the weeknight trail. So be careful of what you wish for.
