Big East's Next Media Deal

[noeynox]

Sorry to change the subject, but can anyone explain UConn's current football media deal?

Somethings like 500k a year, but get to have their games on CBSSN. Traded dollars for exposure.

Honest question…Why are you posting here?… you certainly hate uconn… are you just trolling?

You really have to ask? He's got a 120 square foot bedroom in his Mom's basement in Cranston. It's decorated with signed photos of Cooley. His IPod Shuffle plays "Losing My Religion" on endless repeat. What else does he have?

Win the titles, you can call it whatever you want. We did, we can. You didn’t, you can’t. You don’t even get to have an opinion.

That it bothers you is just gravy.

I have a very dear friend that I went to college with. He's a PC season ticket holder. I send him pictures of the banners. He responds "Wish we had some of them." Case closed.

Another option is just doing something with the Saudis. I mean if they can pay over 100 millions euros for one player, I am sure they can pay enough to get the media rights of an entire conference in the USA.

Sources: Neymar set to leave PSG for Saudi

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar is close to agreeing to personal terms with Al Hilal and completing a move to the Saudi Pro League, sources told ESPN.

I wouldn't touch the Saudis if the very existence of UConn was on the line.

Realignment is about money, and the Saudis have more money than all the media companies here combined and then some.

Yes there will be negatives, but it is worth exploring the idea.

It is also possible Saudis just buy some sports media companies in the USA since it is obvious they are investing heavily into sports properties right now.

No, it isn't. If that's what it takes to go on, we should tap out.

If the Saudis are willing to throw in reduced price gasoline for the state of CT as a sweetener, we would have to at least consider it…

All of the middle eastern sovereign funds are flailing for investment opportunities outside of oil because they know the price of oil is going to decline over the long term due to alternative sources of energy and population decline. The Saudis are aggressive when it comes to investing, but I don't think anyone out there is nuts enough to invest in a college athletics program.

Sure if they won both men's and women's college football championships in the same year, twice.

Better than being on FLO.

Hard pass.

So just curious, if we are so irrelevant, why do you keep coming back here? It seems like a cloying attempt at self validation.

Friar J…I do enjoy your posts… you bring a different view to the table..but your posts have been a little more angry lately

Seton Hall has a message board? I don’t believe it. Next are you going to try and tell me that “Creighton” is Nebraska. Yeah right.

I'll choose human rights every single time.

And yet, here you are on the board of a team that you supposedly find irrelevant. That's weird. Of course it's not as weird as using Corny T as your handle on the Seton Hall Board. I mean it just seems like you're obsessively wanna be Connecticut fan. It's sad really.

Please leave - you’re irrelevant and a bore

Those games are basically a five year old who stole their mom's iPhone and accidentally started recording.
