    ESPN cutting on air talent today.

    The long rumored firing of on air talent has begun. I never understood why they paid some of their on air talent so much when ESPN in most cases was the only option for their employment. They would pay these host millions of dollars a year when in reality the market didn’t justify the salaries...

    ESPN to be sold in 2023????

    Looks like Disney wants to jettison ABC and ESPN. The cord cutting and the cord nevers are finally catching up to ESPN. I am curious as to why FOX, CBS, and NBC weren’t more aggressive with going after additional Pac 12 teams (Oregon, WA, Stamford, Cal)? The four corner teams could’ve gone to...

    UConn Football Season

    Not the result we were looking for today. If you would’ve asked back in August if we were going bowling most of us would’ve said no. This season has been a success and Coach Mora and staff deserve credit. Much improvement needs to be made especially with the passing game. To accomplish what this...

    2024 Scheduling opportunities??????

    We need two games added to the schedule for 2024. Notre Dame has an opening for their senior night game in late November and we don’t have a pay day game scheduled for 2024. I think this would be a good opportunity for exposure and revenue. We would need to find a home game for 2024 as well.

    B1G media rights deal.

    Well the B1G has their new media rights package starting in 2023. Very interesting and telling that they placed a huge importance on linear television to broadcast their games. It will be in stark contrast to the deal the SEC has with ESPN/ABC which the majority of the games will be on the cable...

    Future scheduling opportunities???

    BYU has extra inventory from their existing 2024 & 2026 schedules. With their impending move to the Big 12 this may present opportunity for us to pick up some P5 opponents?

    NBC Sports

    NBC sports is shutting down and will be transferring their content to their sister channels. The main reason they cited was the continuing hemorrhaging of cord cutting customers and low ratings. I know we have a decent contract with CBS Sports. With ESPN taken over the SEC in a few years I’m...

    Quarterback Phil Jurkovec is transferring from Notre Dame.

    He was a dual threat quarterback from western Pennsylvania. If we can convince him to play here he would most likely get immediate playing time.

    Cord cutting continues

    ESPN has lost 2 million subscribers this year. With the conference media rights up for renegotiation in a few years this is bound to have an impact. I wonder if more games will return to OTA medium or will the big social media companies make a bid for online-mobile viewing options? Sports...

    Nebraska scheduling opportunity?????????

    As most the you know, Nebraska had their much anticipated home opener canceled due to inclement weather. They are absolutely desperate to schedule a makeup game and have an opening on 27 October. We play UMass on the same date. I am wondering if a mutually beneficial settlement between us...

    The news with ESPN is getting worse

    The cable box subscriber base is really starting to hemorrhage for ESPN. A subscriber loss of 422,000 from the months of February-March. Those are big numbers. You wonder how long they can stay in business under the current business model. I believe their political activism is starting to really...

    I just returned home from Texas today from a weeklong business trip. I was able to watch the Longhorn network a few times.
