Don't understand why UConn is not streaming Ceremony

 

[Sargassoc]

Because they don't own the rights.

It's a crazy world we live in.

 

[HoopsFan21]

They did it last year, so I don't understand why they can't do it this year. I hope someone records it and puts it on youtube.

So, what exactly happened to SNY's exclusive coverage of our Huskies? I mean, why have they lost the rights to this game and it's not even on ESPN? I think that their broadcast and special UConn coverage are great, but I understood (like CPTV) that SNY was going to do ALL our games? Does someone know?

 

[Sargassoc]

ESPN owns the rights through the AAC.

 

[Icebear]

No, CBSSN has the rights SNY is the coverage of last resort under the IMG management. It is not SNY's choice or they would be giving their best coverage.

SNY has Tier 3 rights. That means they only get the games that no one else wants. I think this year they got 17 games with ESPN+CBSSN picking up the rest. The coverage will get worse if/when we get into a major conference in my opinion. I'm sure SNY would love to have this game, but I guess our Senior Day coverage is going to be locked in CBS's vault forever, and they will dribble out a 30 second highlight clip of it perhaps at halftime or just before tip off.

And I noted that the game Sat. the 7th (AAC Tournament) that UConn plays will not be televised.... unless you can call ESPN3 "televised"

I can stream espn3 on my 60 inch LG in high def. Maybe you need a technology and equipment upgrade.

If anyone is going to the game get video of the ceremony and post PLEASE!!!!

 

[bschwartz]

No doubt UConn will professionally record the ceremony...whether they share it with everyone online for free is an open question.

Not everyone has access to all the games on ESPN 3. Some games require you to have a certain cable company.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I must say that it's a little strange that CBS and ESPN keep grabbing the rights to the Senior Day game considering the matchup and it's usually not even the last game of the season. Next year UConn should announce the date, then change it later in the season so SNY will get the game.

I recall that when SNY first took over from CPTV they had a contract for all our games. Then when we switched conferences they lost those rights due to some clause in the contract regarding UConn changing conferences. Something like that?

 

[Beemer]

Well that stinks.

Direct TV just add a free watch ESPN app to customers. FYI

Roku has Watch ESPN also.

UCONN is streaming the senior ceremonies on their website at 1:40pm!

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

If I'm not mistaken, SNY showed the complete 2014 Senior Day ceremonies the day or two after the original telecast! But I can't find that they're doing it in 2015?

The squeaky wheels get the live streaming. Fantastic.

Most every cable/internet provider will give you the ESPN3 exclusive games. Where it gets limited are for the games that are also on TV on the ESPN family of networks. Those are through WatchESPN, which has different rules.
