If we sign with ESPN they determine how many games and which ones are shown on television. I'm not a fan of selling our souls to ESPN when they will still place us behind the major conferences and even the G5.

I also noticed the NC schools do not have a linear broadcast deal, that needs to change ASAP.

I agree. I don't love FLO because I think it's a pretty crappy platform that's overpriced, doesn't advertise, and has a very small subscription base. However, I've always said that linear TV is important. I brought up the Drexel games on NBCSP because it's important that a lot of Drexel games get broadcast on the major local sports channels that people in the region use as their go to channel for sports. Despite, Drexel being considered the #6 school in Philadelphia, they do get more games on TV than St. Joes, La Salle, and Penn do.

In terms of linear deals for other schools in the CAA, I think that UNCW used to broadcast games on local TV in Wilmington. I could be wrong but I think that prior to realignment, Elon was the only school in the CAA that didn't put their games on linear TV. Of the new schools, Monmouth is televising games. Not sure about A&T or Hampton.

UNCW never did. They should. They have the ability and a radio partner with an independent TV station. But they don't

You're thinking of Charleston
