Every Year The Readers Get Mad At Me For Posting The Mountain West’s VERSUS Schedule. Here It Is Again

It won’t be VERSUS when it airs, but it is worth noting that what other sports are airing on our TV network for the next decade is important.
Sept. 10, 3:30 p.m. ET or 7:30 p.m. ET – TCU vs. Air Force
Sept. 17, 3:30 p.m. ET – Texas Tech vs. New Mexico
Sept. 24, 7:30 p.m. ET – Nebraska vs. Wyoming
Oct. 1, TBD – Nevada vs. Boise State
Oct. 22, 3:30 p.m. ET – Air Force vs. Boise State
Nov. 5, 3:30 p.m. ET – Army vs. Air Force
Nov. 12, 3:30 p.m. ET – TCU vs. Boise State
Dec. 3, 3:30 p.m. ET – UNLV vs. TCU
VERSUS also typically airs games from the Ivy League and Pac-12. The network is currently trying to acquire the latter conference’s football and basketball rights.
TCU has been the crown-jewl of the MWC for the past couple of years, always getting the heavy end of the Versus package. With fellow small-school, big-result Boise State joining the fray, is it any shock that they are getting the same treatment?
…and probably the lion’s share of coverage starting in 2013.
Since Boise State is mentioned in the schedule, I will not complain this year.
