UConn Football TV Deal 2024+

[Drew]

As @Forte and @jostar1 pointed out in the non-key tweets thread, UConn’s CBSSN deal for football expires in 2023. Has there been any indication if we will be able to reup with them?

CBS has an option. I can’t see them, not exercising it given how affordable we are.

Also wonder if the Covid year is tacked on until 2024? Anyone know?

I think another strong season will help negotiations. The fact we were able to work out that deal when we were beyond awful, makes me very optimistic we can re-up it now that we have become competitive and fun to watch

Hopefully for more money…I think the games are attractive for cbs because of the teams we play…su,bc last year…nc state this year

I think there will be a choice…go with cbs again with about the same money…I think we make about 500,000 a year..or go with SNY and make more.. but a smaller national presence

It’s more than our quality. Strength of schedule is huge because they get opposing fan base to tune in. This is another reason home schedule is Priority 1.

I would think that cbs is using they’re option since we haven’t heard anything

I love our deal. Staying off of ESPN + and Peacock is huge.

Yep. Wouldn’t mind more money, but yeah, it’s a decent deal.
