My point is that not that long ago, like maybe 15 years ago, it was not uncommon for major conferences to have their ganes actually have no TV option. Im sure you dont care if boston college is on TV, but its hard for a school like Boston College to grow any kind of support if they arent even on TV

In 2008, A&M had 4 big 12 games that were not shown on TV. That is absolutely insane now, but it was common back then

That was objectively bad for the sport

The last pay-per-view conference game I remember USC having was 05.

It was against Vandy.

What, that you couldn’t watch lower tier matchups? Y’all didn’t have AggieVision or something like that?

If your team or its opponent didn’t rate televised games, you should thank the powers that were for saving you from bad football

It was inconveniencing for fans who had to listen to it on the radio or watch it on Pay-Per-View but to say it was bad for the sport is entirely a subjective opinion.
