Don't disagree, but all this bickering while under contract is utterly useless.

This is the game ESPN wants. ESPN gets what ESPN wants.

They want program filler content for free.

They are in constant search of the very best filler programing.

It’s UL & App State now, but the SBC is always in this bad two weeks. Beggers can’t be choosers.

Someone posted recently that the league’s contract with ESPN goes to 2028. Agree week night games are terrible for home attendance but this is a situation in which we have absolutely no influence for the time being. We need to work with ESPN to adjust the situation so as weeknight games are limited to 2 per year per team.

And add in compensation for the weeknight game; say take the average home attendance for the previous year and current year and agree to pay X amount per person for the reduced crowd. JMO

If we go into this game 4 1, we might owe money under that formula on that Wednesday night game.

That's why we gotta start it next year!
