Side Arm is making big moves. 30+ athletic sites switched to their platform today.
Oh, damn! They also host the Iowa Hawkeyes. I see another law suit coming.

I thought ESPN3 was replacing the CUSA digital network.
More misrepresentations by the league office/ADs?

No, they said everything would be espn quality so everything could be distributed on espn3, but there was no mention of it officially replacing the cusa digital network that I remember.
I think you are missing the point. Per Harry Minimum's story and numerous attestations by our Commish and at least one AD, our exposure was going to greatly improve via the ESPN3 platform. Yet if you check our broadcast schedules, there is nothing about this, and also nothing about any formal agreement. Which likely means that it will be done haphazardly, a terrible frustration for our fans.
And aside from Marshall and a couple of other programs, most schools are going to see a large decrease in the amount of games viewable by their fanbases, whether broadcast or streamed. I am sure a couple of the AD's are happy about that thinking it will generate more ticket sales, but I don't buy it at all. I am not flying to San Antonio to watch Charlotte play UTSA, so if that game isn't picked up by ESPN3, I am not seeing it. That goes for far too many games on CUSA schedules.
Once again, I think the league office oversold what was obviously not a formal agreement at all, despite that screen cap which now seems like an intentional, misleading leak. Aside from the CUSA championship game and like one other game (IIRC), ESPN gave us nothing at all. All of our other appearances were already on P5 or AAC schedules. And now we see that we are still going to have a CUSA digital network which is NOT what Harry's article or any of the other talking points discussed. They said it was going away.

Actually they were pushing CUSA.tv a lot during the baseball championship week. Spoke about it during every game, so I'm surprised you thought it was going away.
The MAC website has a link to WatchESPN
AND MAC Digital Media, maybe the path CUSA planning as well?

Correct me if I am wrong but does ESPN3 give you anything besides a platform to redistribute/simulcast your streamed game?

Hope somebody will help an old timer out here. Can someone please explain how all this streaming works? I get that you have cameras and announcers at a game, but where does the actual content go? Does a server turn the camera signals into a digital stream which then goes to the cloud? or does it travel over wire? how does ESPN3 actually gain access to the stream and what does the CUSA network consist of? This is all very confusing.
