Check out the digital tier sports channel guides... There are more FCS schools on TV than most would realize. Granted the quality of the broadcast is usually poor and the announcers are gawd awful at best, but hey... it's there if you want it.

I usually try to remember to look at those channels. The only one I remember seeing this past week was Lehigh and Drake, and I didn't really have an interest in watching either of those teams.

Over 14,000 in the UNI-Dome for a televised game on the same day as Iowa/Iowa State is absolutely amazing. I was very impressed by the turnout.

NDSU beating Kansas probably made the game more interesting.

While that is a true statement, I don't think the NDSU/KU game had a direct impact on attendance. General interest in UNI athletics is up, and in a way, yes, Kansas has a little something to do with that.

Not specifically related to MVFC, but it addresses some of the items we've discussed regarding big vs. little schools in football. Titled: On any given Saturday.
