I am still waiting for A&T to take advantage of it too!

I realize it's different than the CAA's deal with FloSports, but in a lot of ways it isn't. Like the CAA, the Summit League lives outside the ESPN ecosystem and puts more games on regional linear TV.

I like their deal. Reasonably priced service with a good regional brand that people in their area already use for other sports.

Seems like they will be taking advantage of the linear local option as well.

This is exactly the sort of deal that I suggested that the CAA should try to go with. The only issue now is that cable television is struggling due to cord cutting and so many RSN's are in financial trouble. You still need a streaming alternative because you can't get ALL sporting events on linear TV like the CAA does with Flo. Seems like the SL has that.

At this point, we just have to accept the fact that Flo isn't going anywhere. If you're a CAA fan who likes to watch your favorite CAA basketball team on TV, then you'll sign up for Flo. If you're trying to boycott like some of us are and save $12.50/month, then you're just being cheap.

Seems as if Flo has a partnership with Amazon Prime, wonder if CAA games will appear there too.

Select live events and programming will be available to fans with expanded distribution across FloSports’ growing network of free streaming channels on Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and FloCollege’s many social channels.

My guess is whatever free stuff they put on YouTube will be available on Amazon Prime as well.

Thanks for pointing that out. If true, that will improve access to Flo.
