I'm a fan of Hofstra in the CAA, which is two spots below the Atlantic 10 in the Conference RPI, and has no TV deal. College of Charleston is ahead of 12 out of 14 Atlantic 10 teams in RPI and 6 out of 14 Atlantic 10 teams in attendance. Fordham, who is bad and averages under 40% the attendance of College of Charleston, has 4 out of 18 Atlantic 10 games on national TV and three more on a regional sports network in another area. George Mason, who averages a little higher attendance than College of Charleston but is a much worse team, has 8 Atlantic 10 games on national TV and 3 or MASN which is available in their area. Do those teams deserve to be on TV more than College of Charleston? The Atlantic 10 has 65 conference games (51.6%) on national TV. I'm confident that neither the Mountain West, which 1 spot ahead of the Atlantic 10 in the Conference RPI, nor the Mid-American, which is slightly behind the Atlantic 10, has anywhere near half their games on national TV.

IDK what to tell ya mate. Atlantic 10 may not be the worst conference in the land in terms of TV, but not being able to watch a game has frustrated the **** out of me more often than not.

If it's any consolation, I'd kick out Fordham and La Salle in a heartbeat.
