The MAC knocked it out of the park with conference games on linear TV.

How so? their first 19 games on TV are not MAC games but road games that belong to other conference

I thought you didn't like CBS Sports Network? maybe I'm mistaken you with someone else.

So 19 games are because of the TV contract from another conference and another 11 MAC games are on CBS Sports Network

I see 4 MAC games on espnu and 1 on espn2

and close to 20 others (including women) on espn3 or +

their championship game on espn2

If anything espn sold a bunch of MAC games that use to be shown on espnu or 2 to CBS Sports Network

First, I said conference games. I never mentioned the additional OOC games. (which makes the overall schedule even better)
Second, there are 17 regular season conference games on CBSSN, ESPN2, ESPNU.

Compared to our conferences schedule that's outstanding.

As for CBSSN, I have no issue with it. I think they put out a great product. My gripe used to be their reach but I think that has improved over the years.

CBSSN has the same reach as they did when CUSA had a contract with them...upper tier cable package.

The games shown on CBSSN are games that use to be carried by espnu or 2 or news. So while the MAC might have more games on TV I bet less MAC fans can see them

Judy really is the worst when it comes to media negotiations.

Always has made sense to me that we enter into an alliance with some of the conferences that are similar to ours in national regard, and negotiate these contracts almost like a union would negotiate for its members. Power in numbers.
