Tier 3 Media Rights

[Askgreek]

I am not an expert when it comes to these TV contracts, but it has been reported in the past that schools in the ACC have granted their Tier 3 rights to ESPN as part of their new contract. Could this be an issue for the ACC with contemplating an invitation to UCONN? Uconn, unlike most other schools, has an exclusive contract with SNY for mens/womens Basketball and Football. This is a big asset to Uconn sports because SNY is carried by most TV packages in NY/NJ/CT. I am not sure if any other program reaches that many homes when not picked up as a national game. It would be great if someone on the board with more knowledge about this topic could shed some light. I am hoping that it has no impact at all and we can finally put this expansion craziness behind us.
