Some of us actually like to attend football games on Saturdays. CUSA won't have any Saturday games in October.
The kicker is supposedly the media companies have an easy early exit if the games don't hit performance metrics for viewership/revenue as well. Thats basically unheard of. It's saying if they don't earn enough the deal is off entirely.
Where do you get the figures? What I saw is that the Mac schools get $880K. Corrected figure from initial reporting is that CUSA schools each get $800K. That’s almost double with the CUSA schools get now. And they won’t be on Stadium or Facebook. CBSSN and ESPN sound good to me. It is certainly a better deal than a lot of people here were predicting. And again, CUSA is FBS and has access to the CFP. We currently are not and do not.
I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.
