Haven’t seen this talked about really. Anyone know if that will be affected?

I’m not sure, but I’d imagine that it wouldn’t be since the deal was done through the school and not the conference.

That’s a local IMG deal with an ESPN affiliate.

ESPN doesn’t own those stations. They just provide syndicated content.

Ah got it thanks guys. I knew it was separate from the AAC deal just wasn’t sure if “the network” was gonna get salty on us.

the Big East contract also explicitly allows the radio rights deal.

Technically UConn sells the radio rights to IMG who sells them to iHeartMedia who owns WUCS.

Think of all the attorneys that have to touch that extremely simply transaction. Love it.
