Judy figured if you can't afford $2,000 to spend a week in Frisco, she was going to punish you and make sure you have to subscribe to 20 different sites and streaming services to watch. She also hopes you forget to cancel and your credit card gets charged forever.

Judy is the worst at negotiating media deals. Plain and simple.

Is there another conference that has tournament games on four different "networks" (CBSS, ESPN+, Stadium, Stadium FB)?

No, just like there's not another conference that stretches from El friggin' Paso to Norfolk, VA down to south Florida.

Ooh I can guess this one.

CUSA: hey, wanna be one of our media partners?
Media partners: okay! As long as we get to show some tourney games!

I didn’t say you’d like the answer...

Court A quarterfinals (ODU-Tech and WKU-NT/FIU) are on Stadium TV affiliates and website. Court B quarterfinals (UTSA-UAB and USM-Marshall/Rice) will be on Stadium on Facebook if Facebook can get its act back together by tomorrow night.

At least you can watch Stadium for free.

The first round of the MW tournament was via our digital network but can’t watch the rest because it’s on CBSSN.

I just wish everything was on ESPN+.

I have no problem paying $5 for the service that gave me a ton of games this year, but it is so annoying to have to go to all the other outlets to watch the game. At least we know ESPN+ has a good streaming platform. I have been very annoyed with CBSSN. Stadium seems to work fine, but it's on facebook and a pain to deal with.

They just need to pick one and stick with it. Keeping up with all the subscriptions and cancellations just to watch football and basketball is like having another part-time job.

Except you don't get paid for it. Just like a part time job.

This is true. While BeIN has a great broadcast, if you forget to cancel your Fubo TV or SlingTV free trial, you get hit with a $40 credit card charge. That's a kick in the ballz. At least on ESPN+ it's only $5.

Does she do that herself? I’ve heard there’s a committee selected by the league presidents for that purpose. I’m sure she’s probably on the committee but it’s not like she gets to decide what goes in the contracts.
