OLD NEWS. SORRY. THIS HAS BEEN COVERED:
http://the-boneyard.com/threads/i-apologize-if-this-old-news-but-time-stamped-01-04-pm.10346/
Nothing earth-shaking, but the gist seems to be that Herbst and Rubin were talking to the Presidents of the ACC when it was happening, and that the ADs were frozen out at all levels.

This was buried in the emails:
UConn Is New York Clty's Team
In 2010-11, UConn Men's Basketball was the Most Viewed East Conference Team In New York City
A combined 1.35 million households watched UConn basketball games ln the New York DMA
that were televised on ESPN or ESPN2. That number doubled the number of households
watching Syracuse games on ESPN or ESPN2 and was five tlmes more than the number of
households that watched Rutgers on ESPN or ESPN2.
The top two-rated Syracuse men's basketball games In the New York DMA in 2010-11 were In
fact games against UConn.
UConn's flve games In the BIG EAST tournament were watched by a combined 590,000
combined households In the New York DMA, while 385,000 watched Syracuse games - a
number which was inflated with one game against hometown St. John's. .
SNY (SportsNet New York) Recognizes The Popularity Of The UConn Brand
SportsNet New York (SNY) is the New York home of the New York Mets and the BIG EAST
Conference. Although they have relationships with Syracuse, Rutgers, Seton Hall and St. John's,
the relationship ls unique as, the network devotes over 300 programming hours a
year to both UConn men's basketball and football. number of program hours is almost
double the number of hours devoted to Rutgers programming and Syracuse receives only two-
third of that amount of hours.
Not only does SNY show more UConn games than those of any other school, they also present
live pre--game and post--game shows of UConn events, a broadcast of weekly football press 1
conferences, weekly rebroadcasts of football and men's basketball games, and condensed
versions of football replays. This programming is unlque to UConn and SNY when compared to
other BIG EAST schools.
UConn men's basketball games were watched by a combined 355,000 households on SNY during
the 2010-11 season over the course of 13 games. These 13 games were contests that were not
selected by ESPN or ESPN2. A total of 120,000 combined households In the New York DMA i
watched UConn basketball on SNY before January 1, 2011 -when overall Interest In college
basketball ls low.
In 2011-12, UConn will make 13 appearances on SNY, while Syracuse, Rutgers and St. John's will
each make fewer than 10.
