TV Coverage --> Recruits
Gonzaga, the country's favorite "mid-major," just signed a big time deal. A new agreement with Fox Sports Net and Spokane's KHQ-TV guarantees that all the team's home and road games will be televised for at least the next four seasons.High school players, particularly those eyeing the NBA, consider the extent to which a school's games are televised when deciding where to attend. Regional coverage in the pacific northwest won't give Gonzaga the same recruiting edge DePaul enjoyed in the 1980's through WGN's coast-to-coast market penetration and season-long coverage. But it will help Mark Few ink an additional Top 100 recruit (or two) a year.
