If Flug is right and BTN and ratings are going to drive future expansion, UConn is putting themselves in a very good spot.

UConn has had three nationally televised games so far this year:

Week 3 @ Mizzou - 12 Noon on ESPN [B]1.94 million viewers[/B]. Dwarfs UNC-Illinois on ESPN 2 by 1.4 million viewers and came within less than half a million of Michigan State-Air Force on ABC.

Week 5 @ BYU - 10:30 p.m. ESPN 2 [B]1.24 million viewers[/B]. 120,000  more than the 7:30 Memphis-USF game on ESPN 2 and half a million more than Stanford-Oregon State in Week 4 in the same time slot on FS1.

Week 6 @UCF - 3:45 p.m. ESPNNews [B]TBD[/B]. Here's a real test to see how well we can draw viewers. This was a game between two teams with a combined 2-8 record on a channel that not everyone in America even gets standard. For reference the game in this slot the previous week was ECU-SMU and it drew 84,000 viewers.

I'll update when the Week 6 #s become available (which should be in next day or so).
