Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 2772710, member: 3517"] Yeah, I don’t really disagree with this, Texas does have a lot of leverage. On the flip side, UConn would likely make way more $$ now if they went independent and started their own network. I realize the chances of that happening are very slim, but the reality is that UConn on its own has the brand power to be getting $20-30M/year. The problem we have right now which others have discussed is that ESPN is getting a huge discount on the UConn brand by having it packaged in a mediocre AAC and they know that. Until UConn calls their bluff we are stuck. I’m actually curious what a network like SNY would pay to own the UConn media rights outright. Hopefully we’re exploring all of our options because bringing in $3M/year in tv money is not sustainable for too much longer. [/QUOTE]
