I've enjoyed their coverage of the MAC. I'll be upset if the network goes down, but I understand its struggles as I've never watched anything on it except for live events (Indians, MAC football/basketball and OHSAA football championships)

That is a bummer.  FSN always treated the MAC like the Dursleys treated Harry Potter.  The MAC lived under the stairs while the A10 had two bedrooms.  Of the two, I hope TWC gets it; Cox might be a good choice, too.  It might also be time for a MAC Network, like The Mountain and some of the others.

I've watched Tee It Up Ohio a couple of times and that is actually a pretty entertaining show, especially when Carling ???, the Big Break / A&M trash talking golfer appears.

Still, the fact that STO took the Tribe off public stations has always been a pet peeve of mine.  In Cowlumbus, there is now no radio outlet and no over the air TV for the Indians.  If they're losing money and markets with STO up there then it was clearly a failed experiment.

Putting aside for a minute the Indians aspect of this, I would hate to see STO disappear because they did a good job of covering the MAC this past season.  If they're gone, we're possibly back to square one with little media coverage.  If Fox takes it over, the MAC will be the redheaded stepchild again.
