When someone has the time and energy please explain how CUSA media rights dipped to $500K per school. I'm pretty sure the budget for the conference central office staff & resources either rivals that or is more.
Cusa has done a series of one year deals. With the league stance being that it doesn’t want to do weekday games, as well as past bad blood, ESPN wasn’t interested very much. Without ESPN aggressively pursuing the content beyond streaming rights, there are not market forces to drive up the price. Streaming rights also have costs baked into the deal.
Cusa broadcast payout is not as low as reported but it isn’t good and is quite a bit less valuable than it was before last realignment shifted that money to the American.
