Open letter to B12 Presidents from UCF

[The Funster]

I'm in northern Fairfield County and BTN comes with Frontier's 300 package. I'd be more than happy to start watching it when UConn gets an invite

I don't think the Big cares if you watch it or not,since they are already collecting $$ for being on your Tv package. Maybe the Big makes much more $$$ if UConn is in the Big, on the tv package.

The B1G cares a little. I'm not sure how much, but they care. Higher ratings must have an effect on what they charge for commercials. Granted this revenue could be 1% of the fees, but my point is that they must care to some degree.

I'd be curious to see what the carriage fees are in Ffld county and how they compare to NYC and north Jersey. I can't see how they would be nearly as good than if they had a UConn presence on the channel.

They can't have it both ways. Either stay home and watch on tv or go to the games to prove we have a robust crowd. I guess they are trying to have it both ways. Seems as though we just can't please them.

I don't like to talk about it, but I believe that the B1G got a single deal for all of the NYC DMA, so the carriage fees are very likely to be the same.

I live in South Eastern CT on the shore and we have it on our sports package too. Never watch it,have no interest .
