This is different from the national syndication deal we had last year.
I wonder if WMYV offered more money.

Great news. These are the type of moves we couldn't make in previous conferences. Plenty of exposure for the school and the players. Now they have to produce.

I wonder if this will have any impact on home attendance.
I go to all of the home games in person any way, but I wonder if some folks in the Triad will now be inclined to watch the game in their living rooms.

Also, I would love to compare this deal with what Elon currently has.

Maybe if the weather is bad, but those that are going to come are going to come regardless. Without seeing the numbers, I'd assume the broadcasting fee would more than offset the potential lost revenue.

Yeah, I think the impact will be minimal. You can't recreate the tailgate vibe and BGMM experience on your TV set.
I do still wish we had the ability to showcase some of our biggest games in major TV markets like last year. But with this deal we should definitely be able to position ourselves as the king of FCS football in the Triad.

I don't believe this will impact the deal with BCSBN (Black College Sports Broadcasting Network) as the CAA gave special permission for it, if I remember correctly. Don't know what's happening with it this year but hope they do it again. Just left them a msg to ask.

Same with having games on other outlets. Also, expect some that see games on whatever outlet will decide they want to be in person sometimes.

Do you remember what local channel Elon is on?

I think with the right promotions prior to the game, this should help expand our fanbase outside of the local diehard fans that attend games. We may lose a few fans when the weather is awful but what we need to capitalize on is the out of state expanded audience. And the AAF needs to buy at least one ad to ask out of state Aggies to donate to the AAF. Oh, and the way to avoid a drop in game attendance is to increase the fan experience in Truist Stadium.
