Sorry. With all the “sensitivity “ surrounding the last couple of days was concerned some may miss it.

Oh well

Navy AD Chet Gladchuk to The Athletic on the AAC potentially replacing UConn down the road: "I don’t think we bring in anybody that doesn’t add value. That’ll be my vote. I don’t think we fill to fill. I have no interest in that."

Chris Vannini @ChrisVannini 7 hours ago
Navy AD Chet Gladchuk doesn't believe UConn's impending departure will significantly affect the AAC TV deal. "The ratio of interest by ESPN on the AAC, it was overwhelming in football. … I don’t think losing UConn is going to affect us to any degree of any significance.”

Chris Vannini @ChrisVannini 7 hours ago
Whether or not the AAC replaces UConn also ties into the TV deal. Navy AD Gladchuk: "It means there’s one less distribution to make. It means we get a little more of the revenue sharing. Anyone that comes in has got to be a plus rather than a fiscal detriment.”

Navy AD Gladchuk on UConn: "They were a good partner. I enjoyed the relationship with them, but if they think the grass is greener, they need to go grace in that direction. We want people affiliated with the conference that want to be there."

Hmmm...........I'm sure UConn wouldn't mind the exact same deal Navy has ---- football in the AAC and all other sports in a different conference. Seems to me that UConn "wants to be there" just as much as Navy does.

Seems his comments are a tad hypocritical coming from a football only..

That’s hilarious if this Gladchuk character really thinks ESPN will let them have UConn’s share.
 
Several things from those Gladchuk quotes..

....He says ESPN's interest in the AAC was overwhelmingly in football.

....He says no expansion that dilutes individual payouts

....Hints that UConn's former share could be divvied up (something that the media let the Big 12 do when they went to 10).


The ESPN/football thought is probably accurate.
The no expansion that dilutes is probably accurate
The divvying up of UConn's shares is probably just hoping.

Gladchuk is right about not adding, because the choices are all bad.

ESPN wanted content as more P5 content moves to dedicated networks. Football and basketball were all good for ESPN, but now they lost the anchor of the basketball league. That said, ESPN probably knew this was happening when they made their bid, so it is already priced in.

Reading the contract and came across the “Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse” call out on the university sports schedule. Should we read into this as an indication of a move to varsity for men’s lacrosse??

No, ESPN wanted to minimize cost and maximize profit. Subsidizing our AD is not their job and to be honest? They can't cater to us since they are in a business with our competitors. They can't give a look as if they are going to be a good corporate citizen in Connecticut and look as if they are helping in the cutthroat, win at all costs world of athletics. If Starter had a stakeholder Phil Knight-style and been as successful, that stakeholder could have publically thrown money at us.

The Hartford Whalers wore Starter jerseys in their last season.

They subsidize half the crappy P5 athletic departments in the country. ESPN picked which programs would live and which would die, and they picked us to die.

The best part of this for me is they don't get the UConn women's team. They had no problems featuring on ESPN or ESPN2 in primetime matchups against other top teams, because they knew they delivered big ratings. They thought they would parlay that into subscriptions for +. For once we got to stick it to them.

And Connecticut via various tax breaks and incentives has subsidized ESPN for decades, so as a former Connecticut taxpayer, I am a little peeved at ESPN.

Yep. ESPN lost Uconn women's basketball. They thought they can get us on the cheap by getting AAC to hand over all the rights, they were wrong.

ESPN's loss of UConn women's BB could result in a slight boost in exposure for some other programs....


"Losing UConn women’s basketball will hurt ESPN a decent bit, but this also gives the network an opportunity to showcase other great basketball schools, including defending champs Baylor, finalists Notre Dame, and Pac-12 powerhouses Oregon and Stanford.

And it’s not as if the UConn women will never be on ESPN’s airwaves, given that the network has the rights to the women’s NCAA Tournament."

Showcase who they want. The point is they wont be using the UConn women to sell subs to +
 
But it also may be to the gain in the games of the Notre Dame dames.

(Forgive me, I just had to type that line).
