CBS Sports Network New TV Partner of MAC

Some exciting news from the MAC as it relates to TV coverage for football and basketball.  This is very exciting news for the MAC as it continues to garner more TV coverage, which coaches swear helps recruiting.  I am not sure what is meant by a "sublicense" but Jeremy Guy of the MAC has tweeted that both ESPN and CBS will broadcast mid-week games.

Yep! Still have our deal with ESPN. This is a sublicense deal for 12 of our football games & 12 basketball. https://t.co/W6fRU3zFjd

A couple points.

First, as there are more sports channels, it would stand to reason that they need content and the MAC is right there to provide it.  I'm glad to see the conference stepping up and making sure we are included.

Second, as long as we are suffering (as live fans) through the weekday games, at least this gets more benefit out of it.

Finally, along the lines of the football recruiting benefits of TV, more national basketball telecasts would hopefully do the same.

Nice job, MAC.
