I already posted on the basketball thread, but hopefully football is just the FCS game.

What's the story with CBS Sports for the other 5-6 games annually? Any talks about extending that after the current deal is done (after this year right)?

I’ve tried to keep tabs on this for the last couple years. I think CBS Sports has another 2 year option. On one hand, being carried nationally on linear TV is the ultimate value. On the other hand, I think our deal tops out between 500k and 1 million. It would be really nice to renegotiate.

I think based on our recent success we may be able to get more from CBS Sports but I’ll take the national exposure vs the money. If ESPN paid us more to put most of our games as streaming only, I would think we’d pass.
