I was going to, but we didn't make it 

Love this idea, looking forward to learning more!

Apple TV, HULU, Netflix and others are all going to jump into the game soon enough. For now ESPN is best bet, or maybe NBC. 

We still have a few years to see how landscape changes.

Welcome home JPP!!

Questions about when companies like Facebook and Google will start paying — really paying — to pick up major media rights have dominated sports business conversations for years.

Those conversations became more amplified last week following two Facebook deals announced in the span of six days, even as making conclusions became even more opaque.

Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) picked up a package of midweek, mid-afternoon MLB games for $30 million, and sublicensed packages of Conference USA games from CBS Sports and Stadium for more than $1 million — two deals that should demonstrate that the company is serious about getting into the sports rights business in a big way.

Hope they announce how much Facebook is paying them for these rights... Hard to know value without a number. I'm sure it will pop-up soon.

Would not be surprised to see something evolve for the AAC like this as well... dipping toes into the new media platforms.

“While exploring our options for future exposure, continuing our tremendous relationship with CBS Sports was a priority given our history,” said MacLeod. “We recognized this was an ideal opportunity to build on our existing partnerships with CBS and Stadium to stay on the forefront of broadcasting through both digital distribution and traditional means. We will continue pioneering fresh and innovative ways to deliver our diverse audience a multitude of viewing options on emerging platforms.”
 
Beginning with the 2018-19 season, CBS Sports Network will broadcast nine football games plus the C-USA Football Championship and eight men’s basketball games per year, as well as the C-USA men’s basketball championships semifinals and men’s and women’s basketball championship games.
 
CBS Sports also has reached an innovative deal with Facebook to sublicense and produce select C-USA football and basketball games that will broadcast exclusively on Facebook. The agreement allows for three football games and six basketball games per year to air on Facebook. The games will be a CBS Sports production, with CBS Sports announcers, graphics and branding.

That said... our 2 for 1 lost a bit of luster with this announcement. 

Just had to do the same... many schools in same spot today...

Nice! This should be a fun series... 

Hope we use this season as motivation to finish stronger next!! 

i can't decide... I hate UCF but is it better for the USF narrative if they win???

Maybe because attendance is down.  They're all home watching on TV instead of going to the games.

ESPN is ok with that, keep pushing those advertising rates up!

Just heard that Bowl viewership is up 12% for the first 20 bowls. That is some healthy growth right there...

Thanks!!

Every single WR, besides Salomon, that has been remotely productive is graduating next year. Scary.

McCants was very productive as well... 

24... wow, what a great job by the staff!!! 

Are we at 23??

I think we got another to sign this morning as well...

Heartbreaking... 

wouldn't be to surprising if we did hold some back for #Allthetransfers that are bound to come up after spring...

We should be able to sign AT LEAST 10 more as some will count as 17 recruits. 

you do not have to early enroll in order to sign...
