Yeah, sort of.  But look at it this way, UConn gave birth to ESPN.  ESPN exists because of UConn sports.  Once again, we are chosen to give birth to the platform they are betting their future on.

I can't say I'm thrilled with this deal.  But I don't hate it.  We can literally watch everything.  All of it, the baseball games, maybe soccer?  That's fantastic.  ESPN will put the teams that draw eyeballs on regular ESPN/ESPN2/U/News.  Even three years ago when UConn was bad, but was ranked pre-season, we were on ESPN and CBS much more than any other team in the league.  So basketball, with Hurley at the helm, will be fine.  UConn football better win some games or it may never been seen on TV again.

The money is much better than it was, if not quite good enough.  And no GOR, which is huge.  I want to know more about what WSU and Navy are getting.  It better not be much more than one full share between them.  I'd like to know what we get for T3 rights, women's hoops.  All in all, it doesn't suck.
