How bad would it suck to be playing conference games on a Wednesday night?

It looks like all their October games for the entire conference are on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. And that would suck big time.

I was thinking the same thing. Watching teams that we played not that long ago like Liberty, Sam Houston, Kennesaw State now having to play in the middle of the week makes me curious, as a fan, if they are happier with moving up. We would see a drastic decrease in fans as many travel from out of town and I bet they wouldn't do that on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. Heck, I'm in Bozeman but have little kids and work that I probably wouldn't even go.

That settles it, the Bobcats should reject any invitations from CUSA and MAC.

One thing about being in a small market-where everyone in that market goes to the game-the CUSA model would be a disaster. Imagine the lost gate revenue, concessions, hotel stays, restaurant visits in places like Brookings, Missoula, and Bozeman if we did this. I don't know if it is a consideration when CUSA expansion is considered, but it should be.
