Why didn't Uconn sign on for that deal with SNY to have SNY broadcast all the Uconn Women's Basketball Games ? Just curious, as I don't see why Uconn could not negotiate such a plush deal for themselves. If Women's basketball is so attractive in the marketplace, then Uconn could simply adopt their own ND model and negotiate their own separate Uconn Women's Basketball contract with ( say ) SNY. ESPN be damned. ND did this. Texas did. So... whats stopping them ? Lots of football schools have a few of their football games picked up by the national networks, and then the locals ( SNY, NESN ) decide if its worth it to them and their advertisers to pick up the remaining games locally or not. If Uconn Women's Basketball was such a lucrative hot commodity, SNY would have all of their non national telecasted games on SNY, and each year too. So why isn't every non ESPN nationally televised Uconn Women's Basketball game on TV every year now with ( for example ) SNY ?
