What's up with the new "Total Access" on the smumustangs.com site? That looks very, very promising!

I too am intriqued. Perhaps our good man Diehard Pony can provide us with more insights?

This is a format we considered, however, to stay legal under the WAC ESPN contract you absolutely could not show live football and men's basketball games. I would be very surprised (and pleased) if live football or men's basketball will be shown as a part of Total Access. They probably will show live women's basketball, soccer, etc.
This will still be vastly better than nothing.

The part about "weekly coach's shows" sounds pretty fun, too. Depending on what that means. Are we gonna see "The Phil Bennett Show?"

If so, it should be on TV, even if it has to be funded by the school or an alumni donation, or something.

I believe the coach's shows will be available only via the Net. The possible exception to that would be Park Cities cable.
