Except for you aren't it's the same deal as the AAC (ESPN/Plus) versus NBE (Fox/Flo).

Also the linear exposure on ESPN expanded for both football and basketball. AAC teams will end up with more linear tv appearance than the big east in both men and women's hoops.

Almost every UConn game will be on linear TV. Every Big East men’s basketball game so far has been on linear TV. I don’t think any of those are streaming only. UConn women will be on TV for every game as far as I can tell. Some BE women’s games not involving UConn and which would not have otherwise been televised will be on Flo.

Which they would have had in the AAC.

The point everyone likes to ignore who comes over here gleefully dancing on the UConn departure, is this was the same deal they could of had with ESPN. So all they did was change FS1/FS2 occassionally fox, for ESPN/ESPN2 occasionally CBS and then give up ESPN+ with higher subscriptions and a cheaper price for Flo sports.

They would have been on the same regional network as they are now, with higher viewership, with a football team having a future, and getting paid more money. Their fans would also pay less for their streaming option as well.

Oh and then the cherry on top? They paid us 17m+ to do it. There is no way to cut this as a good decision. It may be what UConn wants, doesn't mean it was smart, or a good business choice.

It’s just not true. It’s pure speculation that ESPN actually would have made a deal with SNY. Is anyone aware of any ESPN+ content that isn’t exclusively on ESPN+? As for UConn fans having to pay to stream any of our games, that’s an issue we don’t have. The SNY games will stream on Fox Sports outside of the SNY market and NBC Sports in the SNY market. No Flo sports for UConn.

Lol okay, as I said in reality not make believe land there is no way this is a good deal. This has to do with one thing only, how UConn fans feel. They associate Big East with there best days and blame the AAC for the crap program they have become. They never gave a damn about football and still don't, they never will. For the next two years they will be ecstatic and nothing will dissuade them. But about the third time Butler, Creighton, and Xavier come through, sometime beating the Huskies people will start to change as the euphoria of a name doesn't bring back the faded rivalries that are irrelevant now. Deep in debt and football along with a host of other sports suffering or destroyed the thought will finally occur that perhaps.....

Interesting. It seems like that is a specific streaming deal for out of market MLS streaming. Who knows? It could have worked out like that but I think ESPN wanted to have AAC content as ESPN+ exclusive to help build out the subscriber base. Have any AAC games that were on ESPN+ been available on local linear TV?

I didn't waiver at all. I said it was interesting then looked up the MLS deal. MLS has a deal for ESPN+ to specifically show games outside of the local markets where they are available on TV. You know that is not how the AAC deal works. AAC games on ESPN+ are not available on TV in the local TV markets of the schools. UConn men's and women's basketball games are all on TV locally. No need to stream anything. That's the bottom line.

Sigh. We went over this when the contract was first signed, it came up when ESPN talked about sub licensing to SNY. It was specifically brought up by a Memphis media guy because they have games on a local channel, mostly basketball but I think an occasional football game, the stuff on ESPN 3. They said they were open to such an arrangement.

Again you can't make paying us 17m dollars to leave for less money and no home for football a good decision, it just isn't.

You all are in love with your ex, you never got over them and so you rationalized the decision to go back. The problem is that you're ex is never as good as you remember them, after all they're your ex for a reason. In UConn's case though the ex has really not aged well, they aren't as hot now, they quit working out and just don't have the same charisma. There is no Syracuse, Boston Colloge, etc it isn't the center piece of THE sports network, etc.

In a little while that honeymoon phase will wear out, then UConn will wake up and realize they're in bed with some nice catholic midwestern guy with a nice little mom and pop shop he franchised out for a decent boring lifestyle. Definitely not the smooth big city east coast power executive driving Ferraris and buying/selling those mom and pop companies two or three times before lunch who took them to the top of the world.
