Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 5341774, member: 694"] Each FBS game this year (CCSU was available but I'll let others decide their opinion of the WAX/UConn+ broadcast) will be available either through a network or via streaming services, the games without broadcast listed (BC, Rice, FAU) will be ESPN+ presuming they aren't picked up by a network (perhaps the BC game sneaks onto the ACC Network). What is spot on is that UConn needs to build its football profile to achieve the best possible outcome for the athletic department, that includes everything listed above particularly attendance and most importantly, winning football games, as many as possible, with a smattering of P4 wins in that mix. UConn home games which they have direct control of are on linear TV with CBS Sports... Given UConn's current profile it's extraordinarily difficult to avoid streaming networks.. Play the ACC teams? ESPN property and it's headed to the CW, ACC Network or ACC Network+ (ESPN+) Play the Big Ten teams? Fox/CBS/NBC property headed to the Big Ten network or Peacock Play the SEC teams? ESPN headed to SEC Network or SEC Network+ (ESPN+) Play the Big XII teams? ESPN/Fox joint property, likely headed to ESPN+, but outside chance of ESPNU or FS1 Play C-USA? ESPN+ Play MAC? ESPN+ Play AAC? ESPN+ Play Sun Belt? ESPN+ Play the Mountain West? Might be the best bet blend of FS1, CBS Sports and TNT... if the game is picked up. The Basketball Program is a blue-blood; the TV partners come to UConn with options to participate in major Neutral Site matchups; it's not UConn going to them. The Football Program isn't going to get the same treatment from the networks. UConn football does not have the cache to demand that kind of treatment right now, even if they signed up for a game with a football blue blood (i.e. the Tennessee game was sent to the SEC Network, the Michigan beatdown did at least get a regional ABC spot).
