The CAA has a contract with NBCSN. I watched the JMU-Richmond game on it last weekend. The MVFC is on ESPN3 webfeed.
If YSU were in the CAA, we'd have a less expensive travel budget, increased fan interest, more likelihood of a post-season invite, and nationwide exposure on cable TV.
Regarding this kid, success begets success. Failure begets failure. Obviously YSU didn't sell themselves to him, and OU did. YSU is in the position...again....of having to rebuild a winning image....if that's even what their goal is.
