Isn't the M-C too spread out to be attractive to regional Fox Sports?

Well don't you think games like IUPUI at Valpo, Valpo at Oakland, Valpo at Oral Roberts, IUPUI at Oakland, etc. Whatever the best games are (with great attendance) that will represent the conference well, should be on Fox Sports.

I know that that the Mid-Con has a Fox Sports deal that puts on six games right now (4 regular season games, men's semi-finals and women's finals), but the best games are the ones that should really be on TV. Maybe the new commish will help change this theory.

It is really a shame that the school with the best overall attendance (ORU) the last few years has not had a home game on TV. Why is that?

Do you think the Big 10 or SEC would do that?

It hasn't happened because of the Nazi-Valpo stranglehold the former commissioner had on the league. Every decision was made to benefit Valpo. They have been running scared from ORU since we joined the league. Maybe the new commish will help the situation. It couldn't get any worse!

I'm excited about the new commissioner. Early on, he seems to want to be very active and that he doesn't mind working hard.

I love the fact that his main priority is exposure.

I think the old commissioner tried to make everyone happy instead of rewarding the schools that deserve the perks.

Some of the games the Mid-Con put on Fox Sports should not have been on TV for anyone to see how bad the league can be. The premier games should be the only ones that get any national/regional TV exposure.

Valparaiso, Oakland, Oral Roberts and Southern Utah home games.

It seems to me that if every move was with Valpo in mind, that all 4 games would have featured Valpo. Instead all 8 Mid-Con teams were shown on TV. How exactly does that favor Valpo? Your jealously is showing big time here.

I agree that the best games, with decdent crowds should be televised. That means games at Valpo or ORU. IUPUI or Oakland only when Valpo comes to town. SUU can have a decent crowd but they are too quiet.

That comment was TOTALLY a joke. I was just trying to see if any Centenary people would join the fray. A bait to see if there was anyone from Louisiana surfing here.

You know my posts enough to realize I'm not that bitter.

Heard this from some guy who knows Chi-Man's uncle's cousin's brother-in-law so it must be good info. The new Mid-Con commissioner's, nephew's next-door neighbor once applied to Valpo. Will the connections between the Mid-Con commissioner's office and Valpo never end?

There is NO connection between the new commish and anybody at Valpo.
