Predicting the Big Sky ESPN games 3 weeks out

Yes the TV numbers were great last season especially during the playoffs. In today's media rights/revenue generation, with Griz brand strong why can't we get we more games off ESPN Plus and shown on CW for example. Is this the BSC conference or the AD Dept responsible for getting us more exposure/revenue.

Same with the brawl, someone said Scripts TV has the rights, could be a money making opportunity if done right.

What you are describing could be good for the university, but would undoubtedly not be good for fans who don't subscribe to cable anymore. I love that the games are on ESPN+ since we don't have any kind of "regular" TV anymore. I have to borrow my parents login just to be able to watch the games that aren't on ESPN+, which seems kind of wrong at my age, but I'm still not willing to fork over the kind of money that I would have to pay otherwise.

That’s what I thought, maybe with a new President he will shake things up or at least start asking questions. Seems like BSC is happy to have Griz and MSU be the face of the conference but get no rewards.

UM/MSU don't have leverage. The other conference schools, the majority, dictate the path of the conference.

But that's kind of the point. UM and MSU should have ALL the leverage. The bsc is the only conference in the history of college athletics that caters to the lowest common denominator.

Conference schools are going to do what benefits them the most, and controlling UM/MSU is that path in the BSC.
 
It’s tim

That’s the problem, UM/MSU presidents need to assert more power. BSU ADs has BSU get extra revenue over other MWC schools. It can be done.

The 2 schools with most brand power, TV viewership and alumni, need the ADs and presidents to take a stand. Both schools are feeding the bottom. There are better D2 schools than N Colorado, SUU.
 
This is brand power, question is what is Montanas AD and new president going to do.

The 2025 FCS quarterfinals were the most-viewed since 2011. The semifinals were the most-viewed since 2009, highlighted by the Montana-Montana State game delivering an FCS playoff record TV viewership of 2.8 million. The championship game drew its third-highest viewership ever, with 2.3 million. The playoffs and the game itself are growing.

The current system also creates frustration for athletic departments. FCS schools have to bid to host playoff games, then return around 85% of ticket revenue back to the NCAA.

According to Belzer, 128 of the 129 FCS football programs are losing money on football.literally, there’s only one that makes money, and that’s North Dakota State.”

… and North Dakota State is leaving to play in the Mountain West later this fall.

Oh wow, you got me. I'm a mooch just because I borrow their login once or twice a year. Yep it's exactly the same as if I were living in their basement and eating their groceries year-round. Your powers of deduction are spectacular. 🙄🥱
