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.

Im hoping that we can renegotiate the media contract once CBS Sports merge with TNT. Getting Maryland, Syracuse, North Carolina and JMU at home should net more than $1 million.

No doubt, but I think we’re in a position where we can have the exposure and more money.

Ugh. Wax is like public access quality television. Or maybe the local high school A/V club.

Nothing much here other than what most serious fans already know. Home of The Huskies is simply narrative of pre game hype.
That and hoping fans can find the game without having to find a link of streaming or some other thing blocking senior citizens.
Love my basketball team but I know nothing of the tweet, cherp, X, burp or fhart on an phone thingies.
I will do my best to follow the team as I have for decades.

Joe Zone...ugh. Just a weird affect.
