I talked to a couple of ISU fans at the game last night, and they were also somewhat skeptical of the conference scheduling both Weber vs. ISU games on Monday nights. I told them that I believed the purpose was that ROOT Sports would be picking up both games and that is why the Monday night scheduling, but that I wasn't sure. I was sure that having the games on Monday nights would hurt both teams attendance and make it hard for the away teams fans to travel. However, I've been hearing that there were a number of Bengal fans at the Dee last night to watch women's basketball. If you can travel for the women, I'm sure you can travel for the men's team. It is afterall far more entertaining. I don't care about Ott being at Weber, just that we pay her to much to keep losing. We are stuck with women's basketball. might as well try to win once in a while.
Back to TV, I believe ROOT was suppose to broadcast 8 Monday night basketball games during the Big Sky season. I noticed that Altitude was broadcasting some Big Sky games, so did ROOT buy out the contract with the Sky and leave us in the lurch?
