Message: [QUOTE="Biff, post: 2967638, member: 5"] Things change. One of the things that has changed is the whole rights structure. Back in the day, UConn was one of the few schools that had any kind of regular TV coverage of Women's basketball. But TV/media coverage contracts have matured and leagues now usually have primary media rights to all sports. So for away games. the home team/ home team league dictiates who has coverage rights. Those rights are further complicated as they have layers. The league typically contacts a prtimary rights contract as well as secondary or tertiary rights contracts. That is why ESPN has first choice on UConn games (Primary rights holder) and then CBS (and CBS sports) has secondary rights before SNY can choose UConn home games to cover. All this is way above anything Geno controls. [/QUOTE]
