The interview will be aired on CBN News and The 700 Club. These shows reach 95 percent of the television markets across the United States, The 700 Club airs in nearly 90 million homes, averages one million viewers on a daily basis, and averages 14,000 daily callers to their prayer lines. Info as stated on their website.
Not ESPN but this is great publicity for ODU since most of the viewers of these shows may have never heard of ODU.
Also, I have heard there is a famous book author from the Charlottesville area with ties to UVA doing research on him so possible a book novel.
Will certainly be good publicity. It cant hurt when we're recruiting against Liberty either. Proud that Blake is a Monarch.

And if Im not mistaken, Pat used to own Channel 27, and they broadcast Lady Monarchs basketball over the air to the whole region back in the day.

Might that be UVA trying to figure out how to beat Va Tek?
