RE: CAA title game to air on CBSSN
Anything compared to the package we used to have in the SoCon is better. SportSouth did a very good job in the late 2000s televising the league (they carried games when Stephen Curry was at Davidson), but they stopped around 2010 or so. They'd frequently do DHs. Tom Werme, who now calls ACC games on Raycom, was the main voice on that package.

They'd also show a few games on ESPNU and ESPN2, maybe 2-3 a year.

However, SportSouth dropped the games our last two years in the SoCon. They went with PBS, because they wanted a set time for their games (3pm on Saturdays) thinking they were going to get more distribution (on the main PBS), but instead the games aired on digital subchannels, except for the state of GA where they aired on Georgia Public Broadcasting.

They did the same deal for football (when Georgia Southern and App State were still in league) and the SoCon opted out after one year of a 3 year deal. Our last year in the league was basically all ESPN3 except for our OTA games and the game we hosted Louisville (which was ESPNU).

CofC had a longtime package with CSS, dating probably into the late 90s, which gave them a good amount of exposure, but in '11-12 we went to our local OTA, MyTV. CSS went under a couple years ago. Those last couple of years in the SoCon, we had just as good, maybe a better TV deal than the league.

CBSSN is available in something like 58-60 million households; ESPNU is in about 69 million (but 99 million homes can get ESPN3), FS1 is in 85 million, FS2 is in 50 million, while NBCSN has 83 million. BeIn, the net that C-USA signed with to carry some games, only has 23 million.
