As a fan I don't like the week night games in the cold weather, but whatever is best for the team and the NIU in general gets my vote. Having those games on ESPN+ definitely and to a lesser extent on ESPNU blows holes in the whole exposure rationale.

There is absolutely no way a person could convince me that with no more fans attending games, that the ESPN deal is good for the Huskies.

That's the ESPN+/ESPNU deal nowadays.

For about half of our fans, this Saturday is the season finale and the end of season. That is unacceptable. I don't care how much it guarantees that the hefty salaries of our esteemed ADs in the conference get paid, the ESPN deal has been catastrophic for the conference, and one could argue driving it to extinction or FCS. Then again, Frazier has admitted that is where he wants to take things so in that respect going FCS would be considered a success I suppose.
