To amplify what I said in the previous post, the press release contains the following statement:

"The deal will include 65 regular season games per season and all BIG EAST Tournament games."

By my rough calculations, there are about 100 Big East Conference games played every year, not counting the BE Tournament.  So a deal that covers 65 games only includes about two thirds of the games that are played.  I am guessing that these national networks get the first choice about which games they wish to broadcast or stream, so they will determine which 65 games are in scope and which 35 games are out of scope.

If the other 35 games are outside the scope of the deal, does that mean that anyone who wants to broadcast them or stream them can do so?  That would certainly provide an opening for SNY, unless it turns out that all 18 UConn games are among the 65 that are included in this new deal.  That seems unlikely.

But it certainly seems clear that ALL Big East WBB conference games will not be streamed or broadcast under the scope of this deal.
