re: MLS tv contracts

I was thinking about this today. I think one problem is that the national tv games are on at different times and different days every week. ESPN tends to show their games on Sunday but the NBCSN game is sometimes on Friday night, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, or Sunday afternoon. I think ESPN will still keep MLS because it's tied to the USMNT and they get to air the qualifiers and most of the friendlies. NBC gets the second half of Nascar in 2015 so that hurts MLS a little bit IMO. I can see Fox in the cards since they have FS1 and FS2 and likely needs more programing. Also, heard beIn could be in the cards. I hope not though since it's a premium channel and won't help the growth much.
