The Big East announced an agreement to sell its name to the seven Catholic universities that are breaking away this summer to form a basketball-only conference.

Sooooo... you missed where I said "despite how the media reported it" I guess?

If you delve into the details of the agreement, which that article even kinda touches on, there was no actual purchase, it was just a negotiation on who keeps what. C7 got the name and tourney rights, FB schools got most of the cash in the coffers.

Well by "who keeps what" you mean one side keeps money in exchange for a name? Is that not the definition of a sale? Holy LOL .

CL82 and freescooter did, I wouldn't consider them "we." It's always been the Big East.

Lol, you ever notice how @superjohn never tags the people he is calling out. He’s so gutless.

He’s not too wrong on this one though (Insert Blind squirrel… Broken watch, reference here...). I would always point out that we never left the Big East. We did not and I hate that mythology. But I think I posted that as soon as we joined “the new Big East“ officially, I would pretend it’s the same conference that we joined back in 78 along with the rest of the world and I’ve done that. It’s a convenience section that now works in Connecticut’s favor.

If you and I were married (I married up, I know), but now getting divorced, if you kept the money and I took the house, did I buy the house from you? There's an argument to be made and a way you can explain it as yes, but not really. We're really not far apart here, it's semantics. I was only nitpicking your original nitpick. I don't even think it really matters because 6 of the 8 original members of the conference (counting Nova) plus a couple others who've been around for almost 20 years are in the Big East. This is the Big East. I think we all, except Freescooter and a very select few others, would agree.

Since last year was our first year in NBE and the early season non-conference was pretty much skipped due to the pandemic, what is the expectation for broadcasts outside the UConn listening area?

The NBE composite TV schedule shows 6 other games on FS1 that span the 2 hour timeframe for UConn's opener:

Men's Basketball - Composite Schedule - Big East Conference

The official composite schedule for Big East Conference
www.bigeast.com www.bigeast.com

It appears FS1 may have BE opener "Whip Around" where only some of the game might be shown out of market. I have DirecTV so perhaps there will be an FS1 alternate programming subchannel. Would like to know ahead of time if there will be dedicated coverage or not. The Fox Sports App is another option but I don't know if there is a fee.

Thanks

It's not the new Big East, the newbie or whatever stupid name you guys want to call it. It's the Big East and I'll always call you out for being a jackarse. The Big East is more like it's original conference than probably any other conference.

Yeah, you are confusing me with @freescooter that’s his schtick not mine.

For what it’s worth, whenever you are cowardly and take pot shots at posters without tagging them, you can expect me to call you out on it, every time.

Excellent attitude buddy! “Why are divorces expensive? Because they’re worth it.” Besides, you hated that house anyway.

All the games will be streaming on the Fox Sports App.

To clarify you can watch anyone game in its entirety from the app vice the constant swapping and cut ins, correct?

This is a little worrying. I'm on DirecTV and it's showing "Big East Opening Night Tipoff" (which I assume won't include full coverage of our game) on FS1 and a NASCAR thing followed by the Marquette game on FS2.
 
Let’s stay close to this… it’s gotta stream on some site. I am out of state and not seeing it on YouTube TV FS1 or FS2… nor the Fox Sports app … at least not yet ..

In NYC Cablevision (Optimum) it has "Big East Opening Night Tip Off" listed on FS1 at 630pm- 1030pm so I suspect it will be showing bits of many games. However, at 1:30am on Wednesday morning, it shows CCSU at Connecticut, so I guess the actual UConn game will be shown at that time.

I believe the CT market for FS1 is showing the game live. Then game replay next day. If not in the CT market then they are showing snippets of other BE games going on.

I won't be available to watch the game on Tuesday so i set it to record on YoutubeTV. I am aware of the whip-around coverage (which sucks) I don't want fox to dictate which games I watch however, if I wanted to watch the full game after the fact the next day or anytime for that matter does anyone know if the Fox sports app or Fox Now app have them archived for later viewing?

I see this past weekends college football games. So, I would think hoops would be the same.

This whiparound is only going to happen on opening night.

Where did you get that? This is not regional coverage.

No, it’s not semantics. Sometimes there is a right and a wrong and you’re wrong.

When one party leaves a marriage, the other party doesn’t keep the marriage and the leaving spouse just isn’t still in it. When some members leave an LLC or a Limited Partnership, or shareholders leave the corporation, the entity survives and maintains its property. The latter is what happened here. The Catholics left the conference, as a matter of law the conference’s property stayed with the legal entity, and then the entity sold the name.

Why is it so hard for people to just admit they’re wrong over a trivial argument?
