Florida already saturated with SEC-FL, ACC-FSU / MIAMI , AAC- USF / UCF. Throw in FLA. Atlantic + FLA International. 3 NFL teams .Not sure BIG-12 would make that big an impact. Plus no natural southern rivalries.
It's been said once. By him. Ease down on the drinking. Or whatever it is.OK, I thought maybe you had something new to say, rather than repeating the same points already made 50 times in this thread.
In a recent Hartford Current article about the football team, our new AD said that (to paraphrase him)..if we dominate the conference, "the other thing (CR) will take care of itself, if it is meant to be." I am not sure if the "if it is meant to be" line means we are back to monitoring. Therefore, according to him begging and pleading by any source is not going to help, although he did admit that he cannot read the minds of university presidents.

Damn, too bad we already filled the AD job.So yeah...either get the NY region to do a UConn deal, or just convince them to restructure their corporate organization, no biggie. We can get Donald to negotiate it, he's very very good at this stuff. Amazing deals. Win, win win until you're tired of winning.
Correct about the regions but we are #UConn6thBorough after all - if we can get SNY tv deals, I imagine IMG can negotiate a deal to get DD in NY to promote us as well - at least in Fairfield County.DD's marketing is done by region, so if you want DD to promote UConn in Fairfield county you'll have to convince DD's NY office to sign a promotional agreement. All of the UConn/DD cross promo comes via their @DDinCT twitter account. Every one of their promos, not just the UConn related ones, always say "excludes Fairfield county".

In lower Fairfield County (where the money resides) it is a premium channel.Is BTN on basic cable in Fairfield County, CT? Or did the basic cable deal stop at the NYC city limits?
I'm in northern Fairfield County and BTN comes with Frontier's 300 package. I'd be more than happy to start watching it when UConn gets an invite
The B1G cares a little. I'm not sure how much, but they care. Higher ratings must have an effect on what they charge for commercials. Granted this revenue could be 1% of the fees, but my point is that they must care to some degree.I don't think the Big cares if you watch it or not,since they are already collecting $$ for being on your Tv package.

I don't like to talk about it, but I believe that the B1G got a single deal for all of the NYC DMA, so the carriage fees are very likely to be the same.I'd be curious to see what the carriage fees are in Ffld county and how they compare to NYC and north Jersey. I can't see how they would be nearly as good than if they had a UConn presence on the channel.
