It's a double edge sword for the networks as it doesn't guarantee the best teams will be in, but it does guarantee the best markets will be there. Its how most cable companies work and why streaming will eventually be the future for the younger wiser (in context of TV) generation who doesn't want the Oxygen network's of the media world forced down their throats. My parents have been blown away by YoutubeTV after my trying to wean them off their 300$ satellite TV situation for years. Change is hard and most of the aging population isn't and may never be ready for the Apple TV model.... but it will be the future as the customer base for basic cable dissolves.

What that all means is that given the current model, it may not matter how we perform but rather if networks like ESPN continue to view Hartford as no man's land sandwiched between the Boston and NYC markets. CT residents get counted toward the Boston and NYC markets based on a state split but not vise versa of NYC Boston residents counted towards the Hartford/general CT/UConn market.
