Their offense looked pretty good, actually. Their defense not so much.

CBS sports has leverage for games that are relegated to streaming only. It also means that Army is playing on the road that week. Army always gets the noon Saturday slot if they're at home. As of this writing ESPN still hasn't set its ESPNU lineup for that week and about 14 games still don't have a starting time listed on the schedule. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

ESPN gets to pick a game for ESPN2, ESPNU, or both and then CBS Sports Network sublicenses one game of what's left. I think their maximum is 12 and they like to save a good chunk of those for November MACtion. The bummer is that most of the country doesn't have CBS Sports Net. The upside is that CBS Sports Net actually does a fine job of MAC coverage and has a nice pregame and postgame and announcers that will spend a week in the town and do their homework.

They actually act like they are interested in the game they are broadcasting, and don't use it as an excuse to talk about the latest playoff rankings. I really hate it when ESPN does this and the announcers completely miss a key play on the field because they are so busy talking among themselves about an irrelevant subject. CBS Sports Network doesn't do that.

CBS Sports Network doesn't do that. The ESPN2/U/3 coverage feels like they think the MAC is the undercard to some kind of Power 5 main event and half the time the announcers don’t seem too well educated on either school.

I imagine at some point down the pike, all of CBS Sports Network will just fold into a sports hub on Paramount Plus. Another 2.7 million people have cut cable/satellite just so far in 2023, so another 2-3 million will between now and the end of the year with inflation and holiday spending around the bend. Paramount Plus has 60 million subscribers and has done a nice job competing with the other streamers. Especially after the dud that CBS All Access was initially. Really, Paramount Plus kind of invented the all in one streaming app with everything that it offers under one umbrella.

I believe those CW games are sublicensed from ESPN like the MAC CBS Sports Games. I wasn't sure if the CW got their own talent or used EPSN talent. Conference USA was a bit early on broadcasting games on Stadium. People weren't sure how to find it 10 years ago but a deal with Stadium would be ideal for the MAC now. It streams free on nearly every FAST service and is available as subchannel in every US market.
