Well considering most people don't watch the team even when they are in Tampa it is probably a wash. But that being said network issues are much bigger than the university and even the conference. We are beholden to powers greater than the game.

I copied this from @OcalaBull2 in another thread;

"Putting your hometown team up front after a big win will most likely help the audience size for USF, and it will also more than likely not hurt the audience size for other schools considering it wouldn't be a frequent occurrence.  It's not like we're asking to be put on the front every day." 

GO BULLS!

Yeah, I agree but I was referring to the TV options. USF has no control over that.

I'm always morally opposed to sketchy streams, but in this case when they are making it near impossible to watch an AAC game locally without subscribing to another conference's channels I find my morals become more flexible.

I don't care what excuses are made.  Every USF away game should be on TV in the Tampa market and not via ESPN the Ocho.

ESPN won't do it for the AAC, but I'm surprised the BTN wouldn't sell the market local rights to one of the Tampa networks.  Sounds like they could make some more dough unless it's against their contracts with Spectrum, Fios, DTV, etc.

Thanks, Jim. Hope Spectrum guide reflects that before I leave. Don't trust try to record when it says something different.

I would not hold my breath.   In my experience, the outside company Spectrum uses to get their TV guide info doesn't update those channels every time.

Other than the possibility of a legal issue who would pay for this?
