Just looking at this year it seems that at least 50% an maybe more of Appalachian State's games will be on national TV.

1. App@UNC – Fox Sports RSN / ACCN
2. App@ULL – ESPN2
3. App@USA – ESPNU
4. GSo@App – ESPNU
5. App@USC – ESPN2
6. App@GSt – ESPNU


App has qualified for a bowl, so that will be another nationally aired game (7).

The Friday night Troy game could be picked up for ESPNU too. Plus if App is able to make the SBC Championship Game again for a possible 9th naitonal tv game.


That is big time for any G5 school, much less a "move up" from this decade.

Ratings for App games so far:

Saturday - 11/9, 7:00p vs USC ESPN2 0.41 739K viewers

Thursday - 10/31, 8:00p vs GaSo ESPNU n.a. 195K viewers

Wednesday - 10/9, 8:00p vs Louisiana ESPN2 0.35 543K viewers

By clenching the east App secures another TV game.

This year App will have 8 (57% of schedule) nationally televised games. That's for sure a record.
