I was reading some of the chatter on Twitter that besides basketball prestige of Big East and travel savings, another reason UConn not worrying too much about leaving AAC is that SNY will most likely give 1.5~2m to broadcast their home football games! It made me think... why are we, the Seawolves fb, stuck with bad CAA tv deals? I like CAA but hate the TV deals. I Know we won’t make money and it’s not about money. Is it possible to play in CAA but have our football broadcast independence? May be have our home games on SNY for free! SNY needs live sports for fall. Providing our home games for free would provide invaluable exposure.
$2M a year just for Uconn football home games? I highly, highly doubt that. That's almost as much as all of CUSA gets for their TV rights, and Uconn football has been BAD. Highly doubt they pay that much.
I agree though that the CAA TV deal is complete trash. They should have just given the games to ESPN rather than screw the FB only members by taking the money and using it to buy basketball games onto CBSSN.
