ESPN TV Coverage until 2009

Post by PlanoStang »

We have ESPN coverage until 2009. Saw this in the DMN article, and I guess this is mostly national? Seems the revenue drops if schools leave, but this is mega better than we have now.

I guess the MWC has a comparable package? Maybe the froggies positioning themselves to turn down a MWC invite since they broke up the WAC 16?
May the forth be with us.

as far as I know every conference and even bowl has an escape clause which is triggered when there is a substantial change in membership. With the loss of the big-time BB schools and loss of FB teams like TCU, Cincy, Louisville and USF the CUSA looks to take a significant hit.
