Sunbelt/ESPN deal

[Hudsheen#Fired]

Looks like it.

Which means less people will be watching sun belt conference games.

This sounds terrible

That’s because it is.
Doesn’t matter for us. Our goal is the AAC. That’s what we’re building towards.

Keep our eyes on the prize.

Bigger question for me is what is the requirement for middle of the week football games. Hopefully the deal allows for those to be minimized.

[GeauxLouisiana]

Well damn, we are going to have to pay to watch the cajuns??

You are already paying to watch them under the old ESPN agreement.

[cajun_lannister]

Going to be intresting if they carry more sports than just football & basketball

But our cost just went up $5/mo. And that, no doubt will be on top of the existing requirement that espn3 has that you have the entire range of espn networks in your cable package.

[SlappyCajun]

Can we at least wait until the deal is released before the freak out?

But it does matter for us bc as fans we are gonna have to pay for it now if true. We are in the sun belt for the foreseeable future unfortunately.

So basically, don't eat at a fast food chain for 1 meal every month and you've got it covered. Peanuts in cost, especially if each school gets a bump in payout from ESPN.

I cut my cable bill by $100 last year by going to Playstation Vue and still get ESPN.

The problem isn't that we have to pay extra. The problem is that nobody who isn't already a die hard fan of an SBC school is going to pay extra to watch... This deal kills our efforts to promote our branding initiatives.

The best way to promote our brand is still Postseason if this deal nets us an extra 300-400k im all for it

What does this do for our goal of producing our own athletic content? If we do, are we required to only air it on this new ESPN station?
