FYI, Smock has now said BeIN has told him they still want to "play ball" with C-USA.
@dougsmock: Now Stadium Sports (ASN successor) gives me a call telling me they're still interested in C-USA. Came a little late in the game, but ...
I suspected all along that Stadium/ASN was still interested, at a minimum, of being a coverage partner. But it's nice to also know that beIN is also interested in being part of the 2018 deal.
What is STADIUM? Here's A Few AnswersI then brought up how ASN had stretched themselves to cover multiple events within a single "telecast window" & asked if that would continue. Adam provided that the plan was to not regionalize live events & to provide a single 24/7 network, though the digital side would have multiple live events going on. He did allow that existing contractual obligations from ASN might require syndication of multiple games in a single window at the start.

For those of you looking for the STADIUM twitter account, this one is followed by a few C-USA & Campus Insiders personnel: @WatchStadium
Looking at the Fox College FB release, it looks like there may be some openings of FSN in the future.

It looks like they are pushing a lot of their Big 12 & Big 10 games to FOX. Lot of dates with no FBS football on FSN.

After the first three weeks, the other network partners must select games before anyone knows what will be available for FSN. I wouldn't read too much into those schedule gaps just yet.
Here is a good blog regarding Fox schedule http://mattsarzsports.blogspot.com/2...tball.html?m=1
Real TV is still king, and it's not even close.
Let's put this in perspective. TV is 182x more watched than Twitter.
