games! It made me think... why are we, the Seawolves fb, stuck
with bad CAA tv deals? I like CAA but hate the TV deals. I Know
we won’t make money and it’s not about money. Is it possible to
play in CAA but have our football broadcast independence? May
be have our home games on SNY for free! SNY needs live sports
for fall. Providing our home games for free would provide
invaluable exposure.

Doubtful. Instead, SNY will continue to show its usual re-runs
of “classic” Mets games ad nauseam to fill up its broadcasting
schedule.

$2M a year just for Uconn football home games? I highly, highly
doubt that. That's almost as much as all of CUSA gets for their
TV rights, and Uconn football has been BAD. Highly doubt they
pay that much.
I agree though that the CAA TV deal is complete trash. They
should have just given the games to ESPN rather than screw the
FB only members by taking the money and using it to buy
basketball games onto CBSSN.
