In a perfect world, every game that wasn't shown on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU would be shown on Sun Sports, like the Lightning and the Rays. Grainy, pixelated, laggy re-runs on ESPN3 it is.

Unfortunately Bright House/ESPN3 usually blacks out the occasional home game, even here in Orlando. I'm not expecting to be able to watch. I doubt BHSN will bump Boone v. Olympia

Really wish NBC got the contract. Check out Sunday Night Football streaming live to anyone that wants to watch, multiple feeds, Closed captioned, HD, etc..

The idiots at NBC lowballed their offer; they could have had the contract if the bid more, I think. I think NBC's offer made it really easy for ESPN to just throw some change at the AAC to keep the rights.

 

 

aac should have  taken espn deal

 

easp is a king maker

I would think they would only block the game on ESPN3 if it was being broadcast on BHNS ...

ESPN3 is not bad... would be nice for those out of the area if Brighthouse just picked it up.

 

But I think since ESPN3 chose to air the game, then brighthouse can't legally show it? Is that how it works?

I think he was referring to the earlier deal ESPN offered - the one the Pitt guy talked us out of before jumping to the ACC.

This.

The only games I have ever seen blacked out were the ones that were picked up by BHSN, and if you had anything other than Brighthouse in or around the area you couldn't watch the game (even away games).

I got verizon Fios after having Time Warner/Brighthouse for years (fortunately for me, some of my family and friends still have Brighthouse). I had to go over to their homes to watch multiple games last year (all away, I have season tickets) including the Nevada game (CBS sports network).

If Brighthouse picks up the game, and something else is shown on BHSN in your area, ie Orlando, you can still watch the game on espn3, because Brighthouse cable gives you access to that (all other carriers would be blacked out).

Essentially, if you have Brighthouse, and USF is broadcast, you should never miss a game. No other carrier has a local channel (ie. bay news 9, BHSN) looking to bid for games.

I was, and still am, not up to date on the new contract signed by USF and Verizon Fios (after BH contract expired). I thought Verizon would bid for exclusive rights (for espn3), but still hasn't been seen, and I doubt they ever would.

You mean the one years ago ,,,, by the Big East ... My guess is he has no ******* clue who our tv deal now is with, just that it sucks.

ESPN can kick rocks. I don't care what apps it has, i'll never support anything related to that pissant corporation.
