Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5038821, member: 1131"] Assuming that the email that I received from "The Next" can be trusted, they are talking about 65 women's basketball games. Here is the fuller quotation from The Next (note, not from the press release itself): "BIG EAST women’s basketball coverage will massively grow under this new arrangement. The media rights deal triples BIG EAST women's basketball coverage compared to its current agreement with FOX. The deal will include 65 regular season games per season and all BIG EAST Tournament games." That's certainly possible, but there is no reason why SNY itself can't bid for these games if it wishes to do so. I think that the UConn announcement referred to SNY's previous arrangement, which ends after next season, but does not necessarily close the door to some smaller SNY deal for a lesser number of games.
