New TV for the belt

So you'd rather go into a worse conference because it would make better travel for road games? Thanks but no thanks

And Denton ain't Dallas.......It is 40-45 miles north of Dallas, it is actually about the same distance from the OK state line as it is to downtown Dallas. Thackerville, OK is on the Red River and it is only 40 miles north of Denton.

Destination cities for road games.

San Antonio, Dallas, Houston vs San Marcos, Monroe, Jonesboro ����_♂️

You know you can visit San Antonio, Dallas and Houston anytime you want right? You don’t need UL in CUSA to visit those “destinations”

Basketball does not sell TV contracts like football.

You may be right, but the $30M or so year that Kansas basketball generates just through ticket sales alone is something.

Also men’s basketball is a huge reason why our athletic department isn’t viewed in the same light as most of the AAC schools.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Maggart and the position he put us in. All of you who were screaming for Farmer's head were right all along. But I have some questions:

What, if anything, is the department doing to help us command a larger share of our local market?

Are there initiatives to take back the Lafayette area from LSU and to expand our reach to dominate Acadiana and beyond?

What arguments are we making to fans and football lovers that we should be their first choice on Saturdays?

I ask these questions because we will not be attractive to an upgrade conference until we can show that we offer butts in seats and eyeballs on TV screens.

There must be some movement or belief in movement in all of those directions as I doubt that OLOL would have made the commitment which they recently made unless they felt that the community who they market to is on board with the University.

These last two posts are exactly right... ALL areas have to be covered... all the leaders of government need to talk it up on TV and radio plus get their butts to the games.... public and private schools need to have a huge UL push with communications to parents to get the FAMILIES to the games... shut the work places down at 12 on game days... student give a ways... now since this is a contributing board, how about some more ideas!

old deal was 500k per school per year.. Guessing it will probably 750K- 1mill

As an independent "one" more appearance fee game trumps being a member of this conference.

Depending on the opponent, 2 to 3 times more profitable than collecting Sunbelt funds.

Just 1 game.

Awesome you and Scott farmer should present Dr. Maggard with a PowerPoint to support your argument.
