Nice. Also, Comcast Sports Net (now NBC Chicago) to pick up some games.

Will those games picked up by NBC Chicago still be shown via ESPN3?

But should be on the NBC Sports App as all of NBCSChicago content is streamed there.

By my count, the Redbirds will be on an actual television network 17 of the team's 29 games full schedule below.

Huge thank you to Paris, MiKyle, Deontae, and Tony for providing the core that brought Illinois State back to some modicum of national relevance. Even though they didn't make the tournament, they still put ISU back into the minds of the people who decide who gets air time throughout the year.

Agreed

Also to HCDM---IMO he is the best ambassador/salesman for our program and is outstanding at promoting the University through many different forms of media. He does so with intelligence and with a sense of humor that is beneficial to all who love this school/program.

If you look at the goredbirds schedule link you'll see there are a couple on NBC Sports Chicago + that aren't mentioned in the previously linked article. Additionally, I didn't count the exhibition game, which is how I got 29.

Agree 1000%. If he were to simply stick around and not bolt for more money when the time comes, he could end up with a statue outside the Arena.

It's 31 with the exhibition game. 30 regular season games. Remember there is a third game in PR (Myrtle Beach).

This is great especially when it comes to fans coming to the game. I don't know if it's just me but I think this will bring more fans to the games especially students. Students think the idea of being on tv is something cool and says something great about our program. If the advertising and marketing is right we should see an increase in ticket sales. It also helps that we were pretty good last season. I hope we have a good run this year!
