Question for MVFC fans.....

[LeeshaJo]

Is Patty V. Doing her job?

I have my opinion but am curious what others are thinking.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

I say no not because of any of the tournament stuff. It's the teams' job to get into the playoffs, not hers.

I'm pissed as to why there isn't a better TV deal somewhere. The god damn Patriot League has a deal.

Yea seems like every league has all their games at least online to watch....i mean wtf?

This ^^^^^.

And the officiating sucks and we need replay!

Agree with the tv deal and being a bigger advocate for her teams. Remember when NDSU was 6-4 in 2009 and she basically said NDSU has no shot at the playoffs even if they win the next week? What's her deal, committee members don't live in a vacuum, and if NDSU was to have beat SDSU and finished 7-4, they would have been a bubble team. Maybe not the strongest bubble team, but still merit discussion I think. Why poison the well so to speak, let the committee decide, who knows how that selection would have gone. She has done a good job in strengthening the conference with the additions of new teams, and working with other leagues (Summit) to stabilize the conferences to prevent shuffling and poaching. That is a big plus.

[Bisonoline]

She is quoted as saying that a vendor described NDSU fans as happy drunks repeatedly. Really Patty? You were so happy with that description that you had to repeat it numerous times? WOW

Yup, this is something I wouldn't mind them pushing for. Not that the game was ever in question, but those were some of the worst calls I have ever seen in our division last weekend. Having a touchdown come back due to refs error is ridiculous.

Oh, and I am also confused as to why the MVFC doesn't have a TV deal. Hell, I can watch OVC games for free online, yet can rarely see other MVFC teams...

MVFC does okay in spite of PV being its commish.

[LeeshaJo]

in terms of the exposure, ie: tv, free games on internet, how much does that affect the number of teams we are getting in the playoffs... I know I fight to find streams for the Jacks away games, and I am a vested fan. I can not imagine someone who just wants to check in a on a game spending as much time as I have. Does that lack of easy visibility then turn into only two teams in the playoffs... Is that on Patty V or the ADs in the league for not getting it together?

[FargoBison]

We have the worst TV deal in the FCS and our commish is happy about it. The MVFC refs are also descending into MEAC quality.

She has done a decent job with expansion and things like that but the two things I mentioned have to get better.

The BSC has a deal with Root Sports. The CAA has a deal with NBC. The Patriot League has a deal with NBC as well. These deals are negotiated by the conference.

I'm not sure Patti V. is even on the playoff selection committee, nor am I sure that NDSU would even want to be part of a conference TV deal.

Be nice if teams wouldn't stink up the non-conference part of their schedule like Missouri State did this year. Or if you are going to suck in non-conference, at least try to suck worse in conference play. Hats off to UNI taking care of business in the non-conference.

For those of us outside the FM area, the cobbled together BS we have to do is a royal pain in the ass. If NDSU wants to be a nationally recognized entity, they have to be on broadcast television or at least basic cable.
