Remember in high school when all you were doing was counting the days down to Friday, so you can watch your local high school kick some butt?

Now you move on to college and your team is ranked in the top 25 for the first time in years, you’re counting the days to go to the game, but all you had to count down was to Tuesday or Wednesday? Like what, when did football start being a thing on weekday nights? It just doesn’t feel right.

I love football, let's get that clear. I love watching football; I love talking football; I just love football.

But games in the middle of the week just don’t add up.

Back in 2014 the Mid-American Conference (MAC) signed a huge deal with ESPN for 100 million dollars for 13 years to have MAC games on weekdays, shown on ESPN 2. So that is eight million dollars a year, and that evens out the about $670,000 per school each year. Money talks.

But does this money outweigh the terrible audience at The Glass Bowl? Imagine a little kid wanting to come to the Rockets game but he can’t because his parents make him go to bed?

Imagine you have a late class until 8 p.m.; you're tired and just want to wear pajamas. You probably won’t go to the game...instead, you will probably go back to your room and watch it with your friends in the dorm.

What about the weather? These games are being played in the whole month of November where the weather in Toledo, Ohio can go from 65 and sunny to -5 with a blizzard in a matter of hours. No one is going to go when it is a blizzard; they are going to stay in their nice warm bed with some hot cocoa and watch it there.

OK, University of Toledo, I understand why you want these weekday games, but nothing is better than going to the tailgate on Saturday and hanging out all day until we rush into the Glass Bowl to get a seat.

I understand that money talks, I understand that you want to get the Rockets name out there with this ESPN 2 viewership, I get that.

But here is something to think about. On Oct. 22 Temple played at ECU on ESPN 2 and had a viewership of 679,000, the ESPN game at the same time in California at UCLA got over million people watching.

I understand that money talks, and I also get that the MAC is an up and coming conference, but if they don’t get the viewership that this deal said they would in 2014, and also don’t have people coming to games on a Tuesday, does this deal work?

But this is none of my business.
