Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

They think a conference being held up by a team from Nebraska with no pedigree and annual first round losers from Wisconsin projects sustained success and even dominance long term

This made sense in your head?

Marquette is a big brand..

With very very little to show for it. My point was that throwing around “we have the best league” based on recent successes of nobody schools and relying on that as the antidote to realignment is pretty short sighted.

I think people overrate the Midwest brands when it comes to the Big East’s next deal. The Big East has two must-owns and a collection of second tier schools who are worth airing when they are good… plus some other schools in decent markets. (I.E. UConn makes a DePaul game airable. Creighton does not)

Without UConn the Big East’s next TV deal would likely remain flat, even in an environment where every other deal has gone up. With UConn the Big East will approach legacy AAC school money (~7M per)

For what the Big East is, that's not bad money. The small private institutions can survive off that.

Why? If done selectively in the right places it could work. Fans will watch games on a big screen in a park/plaza or their home arena, this would be a small scale version of that
 
I remember as a kid in the mid 1950’s watching highlights of a Penn State , Syracuse football game on a big Movie Screen as part of the News of the week . I’m not sure if it was in color but it was still impressive when you usually watched on a < 21 inch black and white TV .,
I certainly can see the appeal especially if the theater was serving alcohol . For a sold out , game with a group or on a cold or rainy day it could beat the game day experience . You think a remote town in Alabama or Georgia couldn’t fill s theatre when they played.
There is something special about watching a sporting event in a large group ie the Kids st Storrs watching the NC game . I wouldn’t dismiss this out of hand. If linear TV goes away it could provide a lucrative alternative to streaming for key games .
 
This is not some new idea.

Showcase Cinemas was showing weekly Red Sox games throughout New England around 20- 25 years ago, including Connecticut

Surprised nobody has mentioned this
