CHARLOTTE, N.C.

I will post a link when I get it. Below is the full list of games on TV:

* - Big South Conference game

Moving games to 11:30 am kickoffs for a mediocre TV package is absurd. What about one of the many Fox College Sports networks? MASN is pretty much a waste too.

Well, MASN/MASN2 is pretty good in metro-Richmond. I hope they (or someone) picks up VMI's two SportSouth telecasts.

And, maybe some on the FTN will be on MASN delay.

that sucks... Time Warner doesn't carry SportsSouth or ESPN3.com in my area.

MASN is a good deal for the Big South. It may not be on many providers in rural NC but it has a pretty decent footprint in the mid-Atlantic region. Besides, televised games are a good recruiting tool no matter what time kickoff is.

DK, ESPN3.com is the new name for ESPN360, their web-streaming outlet. It's available anywhere there's internet access.

ONLY if your ISP has an agreement with ESPN. Mine does not.

I've gotta say...I think this is a good package for the Big South. I was expecting a lot of these games to be via the Flames Sports Network, but some of those ESPN3.com games are a good pull.

Congrats!

You can pay for ESPN3 if your ISP doesn't have the agreement. It's available everywhere, just not necessarily for free.

DK: email me and I will give you my ESPN3 account info.

If you can pay for it, it certainly isn't clear how much it costs or where you can sign up. I spent 20 minutes looking through their site and FAQ section. The closest thing that I can find is their suggestion to switch to a different ISP that offers the service. I do not think it is available everywhere there is internet service.

Dude, you've got to ditch AOL.

I would, but then I wouldn't know when I've got mail.
