I’m currently on my lunch break watching two MTE tournament games on ESPN channels and it got me thinking: Would you be in-favor of the Summit League playing weekday conference games (think 12:00 or 1:00pm) in return for those games being aired on CBS and CBS Sports Network? It’d be similar to how the MAC and Sun Belt conferences play their conference games on weeknights to get on ESPN and ESPN2.
The main benefit would be more money and exposure for the Summit League (and UMKC). Aside from that, I worry about what impact that’d have on attendance and game atmospheres, which are important for establishing a winning culture for the program. I’d be interested to hear what others think about this.
