CBSSN carries mostly G5 and 1AA games, so it tends to treat the teams with more respect than ESPN. ESPN tends to treat G5 games as promo material for its "P" weekend games; sometimes they don't even have live in-studio halftime shows. We've discussed elsewhere that ESPN treats the MAC like a "crazy aunt," over-exaggerating the strangeness of what happens during games. Last night they mentioned that CMU-NIU had the first 9-0 halftime score in 1A football this season and punctuated it with "Only in the MAC." Although CBSSN uses most of the halftime to talk about "P"s, they at least spend the first five minutes actually discussing the game they're airing as well as other MAC games that night. And the broadcast team concentrates on the game they're doing, not the "P" game of the week. CBSSN and the on-air CBS network even run scores from midweek MAC games during their weekend telecasts. They take G5 teams much more seriously than ESPN does.
Sometimes ESPN does not even have the talent on site, or the producer. All they bring is the truck and cameras
