MVC vs. Mountain West challenge

[im4wsu]

"All 19 members of both leagues will participate in the Challenge, which will feature head-to-head competition between nine Mountain West and nine Missouri Valley teams annually."

Therein lies the confusion.

I obviously can't read. Two contradicting statements there, I guess we will have to wait until next season to see how it all works out. This is a pretty good challenge to set up and it should be beneficial as long as the Valley can come out on top.

Seems perfectly clear. All 19 teams partcipate in the 4-year deal; nine from each conference participate each year. That means one MVC team will sit out each year, but the same teaZm will not sit out all four years.

Better than playing the Maryland-Baltimore Counties of the world.

A lot will depend on what kind of TV coverage. I assume ESPN or 2 or even U will carry most of the games. This could be big for both conferences with the right media package.

Getting it on the ESPN family would be very nice for both conferences. If the games are played with little to no coverage than it is what it is. Still not horrible, but not as good as it should be.

Sounds likes a Fox midwest and Fox Mountain kinda deal.

This is obviously great for the MVC and WSU.

Still think we might get some ESPN2 & U 8)

Don't see any downsides to this.

It certainly helps GM in the scheduling wars as he vitually has one game with a school from a decent conference locked in every year for the next four years.

DJA posted on VT that Elgin will be talking more about it today when interviewed by what's his name from Omaha. Hopefully some clarification will come from that.

Sub - check your PM.
