Grainy, pixelated, laggy re-runs on ESPN3 it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting to be able to watch. I doubt BHSN will bump Boone v. Olympia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think since ESPN3 chose to air the game, then brighthouse can't legally show it? Is that how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
