The Boise State game will be on the MWC digital network. They do NOT have a roku app or an android app. You should be able to find it on the Stadium app for Apple or Amazon Fire. Alternatively, use a chromecast for this game to cast from the website from your phone

Thank you for mentioning that. It's also on NBC Sports Philadelphia. I'm going to tell the CAA because https://caasports.com/calendar.aspx?path=mbball doesn't have TV for it. SNY has some home games by two CAA teams, Delaware and JMU. JMU has games that are on SNY and MASN and have TV listed on that page. Of the nine CAA games at Delaware, one will be on CBS Sports Network and four will be on SNY and NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Including national and regional channels, you have five games on TV, which includes your first three games:

Saturday December 28 at 7:00 P.M. UNCW at Delaware on SNY and NBC Sports Philadelphia
Monday December 30 at 7:00 P.M. UNCW at Drexel on NBC Sports Philadelphia+
Thursday January 2 at 7:00 P.M. James Madison at UNCW on CBS Sports Network
Saturday February 1 at 4:00 P.M. UNCW at James Madison on SNY and MASN2
Thursday February 13 at 7:00 P.M. UNCW at Northeastern on NESN

Here is a good article on the Flo deal from the Drexel blog.

We do get called out a bit for our low athletic budget

That is a damn good write up on the tragedy of the Flo Sports deal and by extension, a lack of quality leadership for the conference.

Solo we have a low athletics budget but we need to compare uncw to the caa schools that do not have football.

Yep. I believe we spend more on basketball than any team in the league. If not we're # 2 in that category. I don't think that's a reasonable complaint.

To be fair, I'm not sure the article was complaining, per say:

Quote:Put this another way: James Madison’s athletics budget was over forty-eight million dollars in 2017. While $100,000 is real money, and league coaches want national TV, when the choice was to invest another $100,000 or to go to Flo and inhibit the growth of James Madison’s nine figure brand, how on earth did they choose the second option? UNCW’s athletics budget was 13.4 million in 2017, and if it cost them some additional funds to assist with the growth of the brand, then that is what needs to be spent. It’s the cost of doing business. Because when it isn’t spent, and no eyeballs are on the Seahawks, then why spend the original 13.4 million in the first place?

Fair point. But the article singled UNCW out on production which isnt exactly fair. I think our production had come a long way. Its not Northeastern level quality but they do a good job and it doesn't look bush league

I don’t think the article was complaining about budgets. I think it was explaining the logical difference between athletic budgets in the conference and how illogical the Flo Sports deal is in connection to them. About how different size budgets and regional markets are affected by such a poorly chosen deal.

It had. Until this deal... and now, like the abysmal state of our program, apathy has overtaken whatever positive steps the production team had made because they’re losing viewers.
