  I have mixed feelings about staying in the ECAC but the decision is not
mine.  One question, what the heck is this Empire Sports Network and does
any cable company actually subscribe to it??? I was at last years ECAC tourney
(were RPI demolished Clarkson, had to rub it in :) ) and I saw a few TV cameras
with the ESN logo but for the life of me I know of NO cable company that
has this channel, especially in the RPI area (upstate NY)?
  So my question is, even if the ECAC allows a tv contract for regualr
season games, who would see it?
 
 
ps: as far as I know even the ECAC tourney was not available in the RPI area
even as special programming on some local access channel.
