Why do they have the men's and women's game on different days? The guys are scheduled for the 17th and the girls 15th. Is that a misprint?

WOW...that's the way that they have it on the MEACSports.com website, too.
The men's game is at 4:00 pm on Monday (ESPNU); the women's game is on Saturday at 2:00 pm.
I don't know why we are getting screwed by not having our biggest men's revenue game on Saturday. Can anyone answer that??

My guess would be TV, Monday night is MEAC game night.
Original schedule was probably both men & women on Saturday but got flexed into Monday TV game.

OK...I guess that they are going to see how much money they can make on a single women's rivalry game (instead of moving it to Monday, also.)

ESPN asked for it to be moved to Monday so they could put it in their prime time slot as their featured game on ESPNU. Women's game stayed on Saturday mostly because a double header would more than likely run long into the set time slot.

Add in a likely sellout + the ESPNU distribution for the Monday game... this becomes one of the best basketball revenue weekends in school history.

Do you think this is something that’s replicated easily for us with other teams?

Do you think this is something that’s replicated easily for us with other teams? Nope. This will likely be an NCCU-rivalry thing only. So moving forward... you now have data that you can keep this game stand-alone and know that it will be a revenue generator.

Pity I can't get ESPNU over here in the UK, so I will rely on the updates as the game progresses.
