FB live is an option but you would want FB TV for best viewing option...unless you want to do the HDMI thing with a tv hook up. I'm just saying that they are likely to overpay at first before the establish a baseline. Would be nice to fleece a tech company for a few million.

We will see.... the number being floated by the media is $8 mil per team for 6 years. Not great but it will keep USF status quo as it equates to the old tv contract plus the BE exit fees that have now expired.

So we would actually see a decline in revenue or break even. Sigh... Edited February 22, 2019 by Azmodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct that is what I said in terms of “status quo.” Thus, this contract for us, Uconn, and Cincy means very little unless it is north of $8 mil and I can’t see that happening. If it is less, I can see Uconn potentially leaving the AAC for the BE in basketball and dropping football down to the FCS level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the Big East gets a much better deal in 2025 I don't see UCONN leaving. As it stands now, the Big East teams get about $4 million per year and their contract is in place until 2025. UCONN might decide that the cost of a football program isn't worth it, but the Big East's tv deal wouldn't bring them substantialy more money.
