Tuesday-Friday Football: FCS

Kind of a spinoff from my previous thread. I think it would be a great idea if the FCS teams (North Dakota State, University of Montana, Montana State, Eastern Washington, Villanova, William and Mary, Chattanooga, New Hampshire, etc.) started playing televised games (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights. Obviously, they don't want to go up against Monday Night Football and ESPN generally hooks us up with some good Thursday night games. However, we've got a lull on Tuesday, Wednesday, and (generally) Friday.
This would be a great way to market and promote FCS football. I think the casual football fan would tune in and it may even catch on. These schools can put out a good product and have some very passionate fan bases. Just so far, NDSU has beaten Iowa State and Kansas State in recent years. Louisiana's McNeese State came oh so close in taking out Nebraska. Southeastern Louisiana has lots of transfers from big schools like Oregon and LSU. Villanova was a point away from beating Syracuse. I can make a case for most of the FCS Top 25.
What do you think? Do you think it's a good idea? Would you tune in?

Meh, may be a good idea.

I kind of enjoy the lull, gives me something to look forward to.

Also, MAC games will start up on Tuesday and Wednesday soon. At least they have in years past.

Yeah, I don't bet. I'm not saying it is a bad idea, I just don't know if I could personally invest any more time in football, much less FCS teams.
My whole Saturday is spent in front of the tv with a laptop hooked up for other scores. As someone said above me, my wife, and kids for that matter, would not be happy.
