all of these weekday football games we are seeing now?

I mean, besides the bettors, and the alumni/students, who really has a lot of interest in a fresno st/toledo tuesday night game, or a Cincy/Miami-O wednesday night game.....last week we had games on thursday, and Friday....

We have had thursday games for awhile, but friday nights, and now tuesday and wednesday, its like bowl week.....Now last nights game was a fluke, it wasnt "scheduled" for Monday......

Seems the main reason for this is ESPN, and sports wagering...



Not complaining, by any means, just curious...

I would say so. Just another way for the networks to milk the NCAA for more exposure; being the only game on definitely strikes interest in a game that wouldn't receive as much hype on a Saturday. Smart move by the network execs and the NCAA.

If you build it, they will come....in this case, build a sports network and you'll surely find mid-major programs willing to play on a weeknight for a TV appearance paycheck.

Beats the hell out of more 2004 WSOP reruns and ESPN's dumbass lumberjack competitions.

No doubt about the 2004 WSOP reruns, TTinCO. If I have to watch Farha and Moneymaker again I think I'll - :hanging: :guillotin

Winbet, tell me what time zone you would like to appear when you view this forum. I will adjust your profile. I can make you posts show GMT if you like.

I figured it out, I moved the "automatically detect daylight savings time" and it fixed the one hour behind.

BFAN, gambling is the biggest reason why 80% of sporting events are televised outside the markets of the two teams playing.
