RE: C-USA News Release - Full football schedule/TV

People do not watch BEIN or Stadium for college football. The data is crystal clear. The likelihood of more people watching those games because it's on an ESPN platform is much higher than if it's on BEIN/Stadium.
Here's what you are clearly missing: No one is going to watch these games on a digital platform outside of their fans. If you think being on ESPN+ is going to garner any sort of exposure, you're in for a rude awakening. If you think casual USM fans are going to pay another OTT fee to watch games, you're in for a rude awakening. Many, many more casual fans exist outside of this message board bubble; and most would be more likely to watch a game on Stadium or Facebook for free. Those are the facts. And if you think non-USM casual viewers will tune-in to a USM game over those on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, or the twenty other games on ESPN+ at that time, not to mention all of the competing networks, you're in for a very rude awakening.
You need to wake up to the reality that ESPN doesn't give a **** about USM and never will.
