Let’s say you are a top high school prospect and want to play college sports where you can get a lot of television exposure.
If so, then you can forget about attending San Diego State.
The television deal that the Mountain West Conference has is eventually going to destroy some teams – and SDSU could be at the top of the list.
The conference has a ridiculous deal whereby most of its teams have conference games televised on a network called themtn.
Only 1.2 million people nationwide get the channel. The number is extremely low in San Diego because you must have Cox Communications digital cable to watch themtn.
Whenever SDSU football or basketball games are televised on themtn., there probably aren’t 1,000 local households watching … or able to watch.
Sadly, any top recruit who wants his or her friends and relatives see them play on TV will want to go to a school where people actually get the channel which televises their games.
This certainly works if you are on networks such as ESPN, CBS, NBC or Fox.
Too bad San Diegans can’t even watch their own team play. In the long run, this will kill recruiting … and possibly the already downtrodden SDSU athletic program.
