Not much respect for the Hoosiers...

Not really sure how we're being disrespected. We only have two games in those three weeks, and none of them were going to be on ABC. Getting picked up by ESPNEWS and ESPNU means they at least have some interest in our games. ESPN networks get to pick first, BTN is the fallback option.

Wasn't complaining. Just noting we have early time slots on 3rd tier channels

I like the early start times for our games.  That way I can watch IU then catch the big games starting at 3:30.  Plus, I can watch LSU games with my wife that way (she's an alum).  Of course the ideal situation would be for IU to get to the point where we are in the big 3:30 or 8:00 games.

I don't mind IU's first 2 games on ESPNU/ESPN News.

When IU is on BTN early in the season, its always shoved to the overflow channels which are still in SD.

With Penn St close to me along with Maryland and...yuck Rutgers, there's no chance they get on primary BTN until conference play.

We'll get the respect, preferred TV's slots, attention, when we've earned it. So far, we're a fun offense to watch and little else. When we start to win games on a consistent basis, against the upper echelon teams in the BIG, then we'll get all the attention we desire. As far as I'm concerned, if being dissed by the powers that be instills a "we'll show em' " attitude in the team, I'm all for it.
