Troy lost to JMU by 9 at Home. The Sun Belt is a disaster

 

The last couple years, the MAC was a detriment to the Sun Belt. This year, the Sun Belt is a detriment to the MAC. The only way the MAC/Sun Belt Challenge holds water is if it mutually benefits the conferences. Otherwise, I think both conferences would be better off keeping it to 1 game a year and reaching out to other conferences to create a Bracket Buster style event for the 2nd half of the season.

People still watch the NBA? It's unwatchable.

By far the worst product in all of sports entertainment. I've not seen much of it in over ten years.

 

When I come across a game while flipping channels, I wish I had spent the few minutes spacing out to commercials or watching a tidbit of a movie I've already seen 500x.

The challenge is there are only a few mid-majors each year that provide Q1 win opportunities. Add in that the A10 and MVC already have a head-to-head competition then that doesn't leave many options. The idea isn't bad. I just don't know if it would lead to any better results.

 

Edit: I believe the WCC and MWC also have a deal, which would further reduce the options.
