CBS Sports Network will carry the CAA men's basketball championship game on 3/6 at 7pm. Looks like just a one off deal. Was announced today.

So none of their announcers will have any feel for the two teams other than speaking to SID's and reading press notes.

Yep. 5 A-10 games in 2 days. The entire CAA package was 10 games, usually. Plus, NBCSN signed the package when teams like VCU, GMU, and ODU were still in the league.
The highest rated CAA games NBCSN were during the 2014 Winter Olympics when they had so much coverage on that network and took a break to carry a couple games. A Delaware-Towson game that year drew 148,000 viewers.
Their schedule was also heavily backloaded. Other than the MSU-NU game (which drew 196K, the highest rated NBCSN CAA game), they didn't have a game prior to Feb. 6 last year. The championship between UNCW-Hofstra last year drew 117,000 there, but it was outrated by over 50K by the Green Bay/Valpo Horizon semi on ESPNU.

Mid major teams don't bring in big ratings on any channel. The A-10 doesn't bring in big viewship either. That's not the reason why NBCSN and the CAA parted ways.
No matter who we sign up with, our games won't get any ratings worth discussing. No one across the country cares that much about mid major hoops. Besides, there are just too many damn games on TV anyway. They all start to all look the same.
I swear some of you southern fans are quite delusional when it comes to who you think cares about our games on TV.
Every year I hear many of you complain about attendance figures because "how it looks on TV." No one is watching! The only ones who do are alums, parents and maybe recruits.
Casual fans are not watching our games on Comcast, MASN, SNY or the like. Fans Power 5 conference areas aren't watching either.
Ratings don't mean squat for us.
