The Mountain West Conference getting a shot to impress America on a national broadcast.
CBS announced that the network will air Nevada vs. San Diego State at 3:30 EST this upcoming Saturday. CBS was initially going to show Ole Miss vs. Texas A&M, but the game between the Aggies and Rebels was postponed because of coronavirus.

This is such a cool opportunity for the MWC, San Diego State and Nevada. Usually speaking, CBS airs the best SEC game of the week.
That was supposed to be the Rebels vs. the Aggies, but that’s not happening. That means CBS has to fill the space, and they’re headed to the MWC to get the job done.

The MWC is a great G5 football conference, has a lot of history, talented players and passionate fans. Now, they’re going to be under the national spotlight.
Obviously, it’s happening under less than ideal situations, but it’s still awesome that two MWC teams will be playing in front of the entire country.

The players and coaches should make the most of it. Opportunities like this don’t come around very often!
