Contract extension increases annual value ‘significantly’ through 2026-27 DAKOTA CRAWFORD ENTERPRISE REPORTER

10-year contract extension between ESPN and the MidAmerican Conference signed in August will increase exposure and revenue for member schools. It’s unclear, however, just how much funding is slated to grow. MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said the contract’s annual value jumped significantly under the extension through 2026-27. When asked to confirm reports from ESPN’s Brett McMurphy that the conference would pocket $100 million over the life of the contract, Steinbrecher hesitated to offer any ballpark figures. “Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet,” he said. Television revenue, NCAA Tournament Units and College Football Playoff payouts, among other items, are combined in Ball State’s 2013-14 athletic budget and listed as an “NCAA funding allocation” — worth $780,000 last year.
EXPECTED BENEFITS OF EXTENSION • Digital component: Makes every men’s basketball game accessible online in the next three or four years • I ndividual school’s television revenue could be around $670,000, according to other reports. •H elps offset other costs, said former athletic director Bill Scholl •H elps Ball State athletics “look at doing some extra stuff,” Scholl said. He could not specify. •T hree universities per year will be prepared to live stream football, men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sports through ESPN3’s website in the contract’s early stages

Brothers aims for alternative feel Dress code, tidiness looks to draw diverse crowd to Village area SKELLY CHIEF REPORTER | ROSE rmskelly@bsu.edu After four weeks of business, some students said Brothers Bar & Grill is setting the standard for bars in the Village. “It’s really nice and seems classy,” said Austin Smith, a senior psychology student. “Sometimes I go to some of the other bars that are here, and [they] feel dirty, the floor is sticky, the environment isn’t nice.” Smith said he thinks Brothers will change the local bar scene. “It’s a nice bar, I think it’s really going to expand how the Village looks as a unit,” Smith said. “It’s definitely one of the better bars in the area.” General Manager Thad Thomas said the business stresses the importance of be-

3. SENATE ELECTIONS TO RATTLE ECONOMY
NEW YORK (AP) — Thirteen years after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the resurrected World Trade Center has opened for business — marking an emotional milestone for both New Yorkers and the nation. Some staffers of publishing giant Conde Nast began working at One World Trade Center on Monday. The 104-story, $3.9-billion skyscraper dominates the Manhattan skyline. The publishing giant becomes the first commercial tenant in America’s tallest building. “The New York City skyline is whole again, as One World Trade Center takes its place in Lower Manhattan,” said Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns both the building and the World Trade Center site.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The midterm slugfest for control of the U.S. Senate could have far-reaching effects on the economy. Tuesday’s elections come just as U.S. growth has been showing consistent improvement, thanks in part to a congressional truce on budget fights. Previous such fights shut down the government and raised the specter of a default on the federal debt. A repeat of either could damage the economic recovery. If Democrats retain control of the Senate, the cease-fire could hold, analysts
say. But it could dissolve with a takeover that gives Republicans control of both chambers and potentially emboldens them to intensify their conflicts with a lame-duck Democratic White House. Republicans already control the House and are expected to maintain and even expand their majority in that chamber. Addressing the prospect of a Republican takeover of the Senate, Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank, said, “My sense is it will only harden the tension that’s in place.”

Oregon law. She told journalists she planned to die Nov. 1, shortly after her husband’s birthday, but reserved the right to move the date forward or push it back. “She died as she intended — peacefully in her bedroom, in the arms of her loved ones,” said Sean Crowley, a spokesman for the advocacy group Compassion & Choices. Crowley said Maynard “suffered increasingly frequent and longer seizures, severe head and neck pain and strokelike symptoms.”
CAIRO (AP) — Four U.S. Arab allies - Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait - are discussing the creation of a military pact to take on Islamic militants, with the possibility of a joint force to intervene around the Middle East, The Associated Press has learned. The alliance would also serve as a show of strength to counterbalance their traditional rival, Shiite-dominated,
Iran. Two countries are seen as potential locations for the alliance to act, senior Egyptian military officials said: Libya, where Islamic militants have taken over several cities, and Yemen. The discussions reflect a new assertiveness among the Middle East’s Sunni powerhouses, whose governments have come to see Sunni Islamic militants and Islamist political movements as a threat.

Taboo talk examines depression
Campus organization to address common myths, stereotypes ROSE SKELLY CHIEF REPORTER | rmskelly@bsu.edu Sex, politics and religion are just three of the things regularly discussed at Taboo Tuesdays, a twice-monthly forum hosted by MOSAIC. At the meetings, Peer Advocacy Leaders, or PALs, introduce controversial or “taboo” topics and allow students to discuss their own opinions about the issues. PALs are also students of
the university. Tonight’s topic is Depression Misunderstood and will cover misconceptions and stereotypes about depression. Chelsea Smith, a junior community activism and development major, is one of the Peer Advocacy Leaders running the meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. in the Student Center, room 302. “It’s going to be a touchy topic but that’s what Taboo Tuesdays are for,” Smith said. One October meeting focused on whether revealing Halloween costumes are demeaning to women. The PAL leading the group, Janie Fulling, a sophomore telecommunications ma-
jor, opened the discussion with a video clip from the movie “Mean Girls” and encouraged the attendees to share their opinions on it. Throughout the hour, the discussion branched into why women’s costumes are so revealing, why women choose to wear such costumes and how gender plays a role in Halloween celebrations. Natalie Richardson, a freshman biology and pre-med major, attended Taboo Tuesday for the first time in October. She believes discussing social issues is important because sometimes people just accept things the way they are.
Richardson also said that talking about these issues helps reinforce her own beliefs on the subjects. “I think [Taboo Tuesdays are] helpful because they give a new perspective to someone who is ignorant about [a] topic,” Richardson said. “[They] also force someone to reevaluate their own position and how to explain it to someone else.” Tonilee Meter, a junior speechlanguage pathology and Spanish major and a PAL, said that these meetings help students become more aware of social justice issues. “Taboo Tuesdays provide a safe listening and learning en-

morial is way different than [the World War II memorial]. It puts a real face on the cost of war,” Kosinski said. “People didn’t like that the memorial was built into the ground, and didn’t like that it memorialized the dead.” The film tells the story of the wall becoming a healing place for veterans and family. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial began the “phenomenon” of leaving personal belongings, flowers and letters at memorials, said Sprayue, which is why this memorial is called “The Healing Wall.” The documentary premiered on Oct. 22 at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis. Kosinski said making this documentary has changed his perspective, and made him more appreciative of veterans and military personnel. “First, I want people to understand how the unconventional aspects of the landscape architecture made this such a special monument, I want the documentary to be educational. But more importantly, I want [the audience] to have the same experience I had. I want them to be appreciative of our freedom,” Kosinski said.
vironment for students to talk about things that are ‘taboo’ and frequently discouraged to discuss in our society,” Meter said. “Our hope in facilitating these difficult discussions is that students will be able to listen and learn from each other, creating greater intergroup understanding and awareness, and promote change through that.” MOSAIC is a campus organization founded in Fall 2013. Its main purpose is to host workshops to educate and inform students on campus. The workshop topics include human trafficking, disability awareness and gender issues. Taboo Tuesdays are a new event this semester.

Kosinski and a few classmates began the documentary in an immersive learning class. The documentary showcases how the unconventional aspects of the memorial lead to healing for veterans and family. Kosinski met his executive producers and cinematographer in an immersive learning class, but they made the project on their own. “[‘The Healing Wall’] was not for a grade, it was not for a class.

He said the staff is going to keep providing good service to entice customers to return. “We’re just trying to do a really good job on all aspects, trying to do a good job with the service, the food, the pricing,” Thomas said. “We try to be really competitive, [have] a lot of really good specials … a lot of that’s going to help [business] from really tapering off too much on us.” While most of their marketing is done on a corporate level, Thomas said the business is specifically reaching out to college students through Twitter. Drink specials are posted there, along with contests and information about its T-shirt giveaway that is run weekly. At the time of publication, the Brothers - Muncie Twitter profile had 2,187 followers.

Fulling said MOSAIC helps students step out of their comfort zone and learn more about the world. “It’s easy to get in a bubble in college -- to stop keeping up with the news, to use language that’s offensive without thinking about it … to distance yourself from social justice issues in college,” Fulling said. “Through MOSAIC, we strive to get students to break out of their bubbles and challenge their own ways of thinking in regards to the rest of the world.”
Proctor also said while the drinks were reasonably priced, the waiting times have been long and the bar has been crowded – typical wait times are 20 to 30 minutes. MaryAnn Oehlerking, a chef, waiter and bartender at the Locker Room, said she doesn’t think Brothers is taking any business away from her bar. “It hasn’t really been a detriment to our side of the Village,” Oehlerking said. “We have a pretty loyal group of people that come in here.” Oehlerking said the Locker Room has a friendly environment, which is what keeps the customers coming back. “I think it’s more of a laidback kind of environment,” Oehlerking said. “We get pretty busy in here, but there’s more of a personable interaction between the customers and the bartenders and the employees that work here.” Thomas said he hopes to continue to attract more people in the future, especially Ball State alumni. “[Brothers] is new, but it’s got a good comfortable feeling to it,” Thomas said. “I think it’s going to attract a lot of people for a while as long was we do our end on the service and the food … hopefully we’re here for a while.”

Inconsistency prevents winning record Team finished 6th in MAC with 1-5 conference record
|
ROBBY GENERAL STAFF REPORTER rjgeneral@bsu.edu
The Ball State field hockey team finished its 2014 season on Saturday, losing 6-3 to Miami University to finish in sixth place in the Mid-American Conference. Overall, inconsistency prevented the Cardinals from a winning record, as the team finished 5-11 overall and 1-5 in conference. “There were a lot of issues that we have to work out,” head coach Beth Maddox said. After beginning the year with three consecutive wins, the Cardinals dropped their next seven matches, falling four games under .500. The team appeared to get back on track after consecutive wins against conference opponent Missouri State and then No. 20 ranked Michigan State from the Big 10, but the Cardinals would lose the remainder of their matches. The most prevalent issue for
Ball State was its consistency from match to match, with Maddox citing the team’s overall conditioning and the ability to finish strong as additional aspects for the program to improve. “Fitness was a huge issue for us this season,” Maddox said. “We’re going to work really hard to fix that.” Five times throughout the season, the Cardinals ended up losing a game in which
they were tied or winning. Despite offensive inconsistency, junior goalkeeper Shelby Henley finished the season nationally ranked 21st in saves per game with 5.73 and 57th with a .657 save percentage. As the Cardinals look to next year, they will see two seniors, midfielders Tori Widrick and Tarel Teach, graduate. “We have a good group, it

Q: With Ben Ingle and Martez Hester both listed as questionable, how do those injuries and the depth around them affect how you approach slowing down the Northern Illinois offense? A: “Those are two of our better and more veteran players … if it means Sean Wiggins and Dedrick Cromartie are playing more, it might be a baptism for those guys.”
Q: Do you have a sense yet of how much Horactio Banks might be available? A: “He’s nursing that hamstring, he’s working his way back in. I thought he did a few things Thursday that I didn’t know or think that he might be ready to do.”
Q: Is there any more excitement going up against this team? It feels like there’s been a real rivalry over the past few years. A: “For it to really be a rivalry, you have to win some of them … we’ve got to find a way to knock these guys off at some point, and it’s not easy.”
TV DEAL:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 According to the report from McMurphy, member schools’ annual television revenue alone would be around $670,000. Though unable to confirm what the new income will be, former Ball State athletic director Bill Scholl said the contract’s value would be substantial in the long run. “It is probably less significant on the front end,” he said in an October interview. “It’s actually allowed us to look at doing some extra stuff around our programs in the next year or two.” Interim athletic director Brian Hardin couldn’t say where any additional funds would be used, specifically. The NCAA allocation in the athletic budget isn’t often earmarked for any one purpose. It just helps offset other costs. Hardin added that
he wouldn’t know the full increase until the contract’s first year had cycled through. Steinbrecher was, however, able to clarify a number of elements within the contract such as conference-wide digital broadcasting expansion. In the early stages of the contract, three universities per year will be prepared to live stream football, men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sports through ESPN3’s website. “We’re investing and doing some things that will allow them to provide the software and various other things necessary to provide the productions at the level that are expected,” Steinbrecher said. As of now, every MAC school has linked an ESPN3 web portal to their home athletic websites. Buffalo, Central Michigan and Northern Illinois will be the first three schools prepped for the full digital package. ESPN has completed a technology audit at Ball State to
David’s Explanation Northern Illinois brings one of the most diverse offenses in the Mid-American Conference, and would be difficult for Ball State to slow down even if the Cardinals defense was fully healthy. Cromartie has been starting the past few games and is getting into a rhythm, and Wiggins does have experience working in the defense. But there’s little doubt that the defense takes a step back when Ingle and Hester aren’t on the field.
David’s Explanation Banks has missed the last few games with a hamstring injury and was listed as questionable on the depth chart released on Friday. With him out, Jahwan Edwards has seen his workload increase and Teddy Williamson has received a few extra carries. However, Banks provides an extra dimension that’s missing when he’s out.
David’s Explanation Ball State has played some close games against Northern Illinois over the past few seasons, some of them with the MAC West division on the line. Each time, the Huskies have come out on top. It’s clear there’s a mutual respect between the programs, and they both have a strong desire to beat each other, the foundation for a solid rivalry.

Ball State fans will have a lot more to cheer about once the details of the multimillion dollar ESPN, MAC deal are released. The contract, which is for 10 years, will bring an untold amount of money to Ball State Athletics.
see how feasible the necessary changes are at this time. Ball State could be in the second grouping of three schools, Scholl said. Though he believes technology here was
no issue, Scholl didn’t want to commit to the “significant budget component” required early on for the upgrades. ESPN will cover some of the charges as well.
“I think [ESPN] needed to move more quickly than we were prepared to have that discussion on the financial side,” he said. There won’t likely be a jump in the number of games live broadcasted on ESPN television, but the digital component is expected to make every men’s basketball game in three to four years accessible online. Steinbrecher and his longtime acquaintance Brooke Magnus, ESPN vice president of programming and acquisitions, only began seriously discussing this deal about a year ago. Steinbrecher said the MAC was bringing “significant value” to ESPN for some time. On top of that, other conferences have inked new television deals as they underwent major realignment, putting the MAC even further behind the curve. “We were the only FBS conference in the last decade that has neither added nor lost
a full-member institution,” Steinbrecher said. “We didn’t have the opportunity to reopen our deal.” Just like in the previous deal, there will be no contractual look-ins that would allow for early renegotiation of the contract. In recent years the MAC has gained momentum in branding and television ratings. Last season’s midweek football game between Ball State and Northern Illinois that essentially decided the MAC championship drew more than 1 million viewers. Football head coach and associate athletic director Pete Lembo said Ball State will continue to benefit from those high-scoring, competitive midweek football games being televised to a national audience. “We play a mid-week game, and several million people watch,” Lembo said. “What that does for the university — it’s hard to put a value on that, in terms of dollars.”

If condemning the recent beheadings of four journalists and aid workers makes me “Islamophobic,” then I guess I am. But that is not what Islamophobia is.

to dislike Islam. She doesn’t mince words, and some have labeled previous statements concerning her former religion as hate speech. The Yale Atheists, Humanists and Agnostics was one of the groups protesting her invitation to speak. As Hirsi Ali is an atheist, this provoked outrage from many, including prominent author and scientist Richard Dawkins, who shamed the students for hindering free speech. Should criticisms of Islam be considered hate speech? Muslims unquestionably have the right to feel comfortable and accepted in the place where they live and study. Nothing about Hirsi Ali’s views is comfortable, but she isn’t calling for anyone to be beheaded. Since 9/11, many Muslims have wrongfully faced increased levels of discrimination and
hatred, which no one should have to deal with in a country that promises freedom of religion. With this country’s history of discrimination, it’s not surprising that some are hesitant to denounce a group of people. However, it’s not hateful nor Islamophobic to say that the group committing massacres and beheadings should be stopped. By not denouncing ISIS, you’re basically saying that they have a valid interpretation of Islam. At some point, you have to define what is acceptable and what is not. In order to figure out how to stop the atrocities, every voice needs to be heard, including the unpopular ones. The critics aren’t critical for no reason. Recently ISIS has threatened to behead Peter Kassig, a veteran and medical worker from Indianapolis. On Nov. 2, ISIS executed at least 50 members of
the Iraqi Sunni Albu Nimr tribe. Instead of putting energy into being politically correct, spend time supporting the people who are working for peace within the religion to fight extremism. Perhaps the most widely known example is Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani student who survived being shot by a member of the Taliban and recently became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in promoting education for girls. Tolerance is an important quality to have in a diverse world, but tolerating someone’s willingness to kill people is irrational. Hirsi Ali may have harsh views about Islam, but she is not the problem. The problem is anyone prepared to kill innocent people in the name of God, and we should be willing to support the people who would stop them, regardless of their religion.

Get connected with campus Today’s Birthday (11/4/14) Personal power and confidence come with highoctane results this year. Your influence grows with your professional stature. Work gets especially fun after 3/20, with creativity and romantic diversions. After 4/4, peace and quiet take on new importance. Meditation, spiritual inquiry and planning take priority. Tune your actions to your heart’s pitch for satisfaction and happiness. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. (c) 2007, Tribune Media Services Inc. Distributed by McClatchyTribune Information Services.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 9. You’re in charge. Don’t be afraid. Be obsessed with details. Review an intended action to avoid unpleasant surprises. Your list of things to do grows. Clean as you go. Postpone a shopping trip. Listen to your heart. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6. A surprising development in a group setting inspires action. Stifle your aggression (or channel it into art or music). A distant power figure enters the game. The pressure on you eases soon. Keep a low, inexpensive profile. Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 7. Breakdowns keep your focus on immediate necessities. Hold your temper. Start with a plan. Keep cool, even if someone does crazy things. Keep costs down. Compromise and tact are required. Encourage creative thinking and find the comedy. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 7. Things could get chaotic and expensive. Cut entertainment spending. Don’t fall for a sob story. Heed cautionary warnings. Don’t try a new method yet. A fascinating discovery arises from a brilliant suggestion or idea. Practice leads to perfection.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8. Get your homework done before going to play. An unexpected windfall comes from handling details early. Shipping and travels discover delays or deviations... stick close to home and handle fundamental priorities. Clean something. Make choices and declare them. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7. Postpone travel. Breakdowns require attention. Actions could seem to backfire. Take it slow. Let circumstances dictate the time. Don’t jump the gun. Listen to your heart. Make requests, and someone else solves the problem. Communicate with your team. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an 8. Be prepared to apply some elbow grease, and accept a profitable challenge. If at first you don’t succeed, back to the drawing board. It could get explosive. Patience and persistence reach to breakthrough. Collaborate. Take detailed notes. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7. Things may not follow the plan. Aim for thoughtful rather than impulsive choices. Accidents or mistakes could get costly... slow down and review options. Delegate what you can, and recharge batteries. Allow extra time for distant matters.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7. Have fun close to home. Work interferes with travel. All is not as you’d like. It’s not a good time to gamble. Keep everybody honest with open transparency as a policy. Remember that it’s just a game. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 6. Finish your work, and postpone a trip. Revelations could alter the destination. Barriers or obstacles at home slow the action. Take it easy. Think it over. Make your choices, and let others decide for themselves. Get organized. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7. Words get farther than actions. Make bold declarations. There’s still work to do. Remain cautious with your money. Pad your schedule to leave time for the unexpected. Don’t travel yet. Find peace on a walk in nature. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9. Respectfully navigate the chaos. Unexpected breakdowns at work require attention. Handle immediate concerns, and put the rest on hold. Don’t throw good money after bad. Merge a financial opportunity into vacation plans. Work out a consensus. Choose your direction.

DN PHOTOS BREANNA DAUGHERTY
Cold weather brings changes to Ball State’s lush campus. Leaves changing and trees becoming bare are common sights in the months and weeks leading up to the first frost and snow of the season. Ball State has won awards for its effort to make a ‘green campus’ over the years, which includes the planting of native plants and trees. This vegetation leads to a campus that is full of scene views, all year long. Top right: Madeline Fairman and Caelum Mroczek, seniors at the Indiana Academy, walk through the Quad on Oct. 29 at Ball State. The Indiana Academy is a two-year, public, residential high school.
invites you to join us for worship, food, & fellowship Tuesdays, 6:30 p.m. at Grace Village 626 N. Martin St.
