There are 2 kinds of exposure though. There's the no exposure at all because of ESPN+. And then there's the low exposure variety of FS1 and FS2. For UConn fans, Fox is great. For players wanting to showcase their skills, it's not so hot.The conference would be forced to decide between exposure and income.
If ESPN taking the BE could guarantee the vast majority of UConn games on ESPN/2, that would be a huge bonus for the program.
Because, as we've seen, the Atlantic 10 tourney did better numbers than the BET, and that's solely because of the Fox/FS1/FS2 issue. Very few people turn to these channels.
