MAC looking for better deal in ESPN TV package
Shhhh! If it?s the early bird truly that always gets the worm then, maybe the Mid-American Conference will get "the worm", i.e., a better deal, with its early start negotiating for new three-year football and basketball TV package with ESPN. The first of several anticipated meetings convened in Columbus Thursday when Marshall athletic director Kayo Marcum joined those from Ohio, Central Michigan and Bowling Green to represent the MAC. ... Dan Shoemaker, ESPN regional vice-president and a Huntington resident, represented the network. But, of course, no one would discuss, for the record, the bargaining issues. Ditto the "touchy" ones in the old pact, or the "improvements" being sought by the MAC. ...
A major "sore" point? The overrun of production costs -- paid by the MAC of course -- compared to the estimates. We?re talking big bucks coming out of MAC pockets, on a 2-to-1 ratio, to pick up the balance of the reported $600,000-plus estimated tab for the telecasts, The overrun last year cost the MAC about $200,000. Some bargain. So will the MAC seek a better break this time? Marcum, the new kid on the block, believes it will. Why? Because, he reasons, ". ... the MAC is a bigger, better and stronger conference than it was three years ago when the first deal was signed."
Soooo, stay tuned, also, to a plan to erect an historic marker where Fairfield Stadium was born in 1928 as a multi-purpose field of dreams for Marshall and high school football, track, and the grand finales of the original West Virginia High School Band Festival, once 90 bands strong, with 50,000 spectators lining streets downtown and the South Side to the stadium. Today, it?s Cabell Huntington Hospital?s parking annex and unique with a grandstand and a press box, both empty. ...
Now, sticking with our "early" bird kick, the Las Vegas line as of late Friday afternoon had Marshall minus-2 vs. Virginia Tech; Wisconsin minus-10 vs. WVU; Kentucky minus-16.5 vss. UT-El Paso; Ohio State minus-31.5 vs. Kent State. ... If Marshall and WVU played today on a neutral field, say in Kabul, Havana, Zimbabwe, Oslo or Roma, the Las Vegas line posted on a parlay card would favor the Herd by 8.0 Jason Prettyman, Our Town?s fighting hair stylist and aspiring heavyweight, lost a 4-round close decision to B. J. Flores of Arizona last week in Kansas City. "It was close, Jason?s manager Dale Peeples said. "Flores had just a little too much experience for Jason."
