ESPN and ESPN2 always get more views than ESPNU, but with the Zips Jersey PR stunt, our closing of the University/cancelling of our last game and the hype this game has been able to generate by itself, I hope we can see a decent TV crowd Saturday.
I don't know much about the 5 PM Saturday timeslot other than it being better than 11 AM.
Here are the other games on the ESPN networks...
We run 5-7. Robert Morris/Brooklyn is on before us and Ole Miss/Florida is on after us.
ESPN 4-6 is Tennessee/Arkansas and 6-8 is Kentucky/A&M
ESPN2 4-6 is Witchita State/Northern Iowa and 6-8 is Kansas State/Oklahoma
I think we'll get an excellent t.v. viewership. How on earth does Wichita State vs. Northern Iowa get ESPN2, while we get pushed to ESPN U?
