I thought the same thing about the seniors. It's terrible. I also feel bad for the 110 who work hard to put on a show and deserve an audience. As a fan who lives 6+ hours away I would love to come see a home MAC game with real relevance, but I absolutely can't unless I take two days off of work. That leaves me a Homecoming game when all the hotels are expensive and sold out, or a non-conference game against SW Indiana Tech.

MACtion peaked a couple of years ago, and now that it's not a novelty anymore is a problem. These midweek games, in the long run, will hurt - not help - the program. Eventually season ticket holders will scale back when they know they can't make a couple of the games. The commish and AD's have got to do something. Unfortunately it seems $ from ESPN speaks more than fan support, loyalty to the players, cheerleaders, band and overall pride in our program and school.

I think of ESPN3 as a webcast, and networks such as ESPNU as TV.
