Ccsu and Uhart games

[Cjet]

What are the chances if those first two games end up being played that they will be televised?

You'd almost think there are ratings to be achieved and money to be had to televised UConn bball for first time in over 8 months.

 

[Cjet]

They need to give the people something

 

[Brochacho]

These games would definitely be on FS1/FS2 if they were set ahead of time. Fox Sports has a lot of the Big East vs buy games on TV. Issue is with contracts still unsigned due to covid uncertainty they may have their broadcast schedule set before the games are finalized, if they happen at all.

SNY? Or are we done there?

I think sublicense deal is only for WBB now between FOX and SNY. @gampelcrazies noted in another thread it could go now to a regional like YES but I would bet these would go FS1 or 2 route if they do happen

Why? I would think they definitely would be televised. When was the last time a UConn game, not including preseason games, was not televised in the last 30+ years?

 

[gampelcrazies]

They will be televised if they are played.

They should be played in my opinion. They need a few warm up games before they play the big boys.

 

[August_West]

I’d be shocked if either are played

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

I see this board has once again become an maddeningly negative place to be.

The university should stream them. I know from my gambling days the university of hawaii streams their games right off there official site. Go rainbow warriors

 

[navery12]

If the games are played they'll be on TV. Big if though

 

[gtcam]

At least we have radio
Just love that play by play with Mike Crispino

 

[Watchdog]

I'll do the play by play and Chief can stream the video from the men's room.............

 

[Kembacity]

Can they not broadcast them on their own (the university) and sell the streams for like $5 per game? I don’t think I’m alone in being willing to pay well more than that to see my huskies play just about anyone

They can and have done this historically for the exhibitions. But it's ultimately up to FOX since they own the rights. In the unlikely event they didn't want to to broadcast on FS1 or FS2 then they could sublicense to a SNY or YES and then the last and least likely outcome is UConn producing the game themselves. And this is a good thing since we don't need the ESPN+ experience of paying money beyond cable/streaming and a quarter the production value. We left those issues behind in the AAC.

anyone but Crispino - PLEASE

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Looks like the Sacred Heart game won't happen. Fine by me.

Y’all still talking like there’s gonna be a season SMH

Starting next week the campus (and every campus across the country) will be a de facto bubble through late Jan. Yes the season will happen. Get your negative attitude out here.
