The ESPN portion of the deal is probably Disney dollars and is just a coverage deal. The CBS portion of the deal is where probably most if not all of the hard cash comes from.
Let me start the eulogy for cusa.tv. With all of the snafus on Monday, we can officially pronounce cusa.tv dead and buried at the end of this school year. That can't be considered a negative by anyone.
Correct. The cash portion of the deal with CBS/ESPN for CUSA is probably greater than the cash portion for either the Sun Belt or the MAC because CBS is lead.
I wish we could get Brooks and Dunn to have an after game concert. Seems like that’s something that Kix could put together.
I sure we know the answer already.... but, has anyone asked? Too late this season, but plenty of time for them to add a concert at TAC for 2023. Did Tech give up trying to bring in concerts to the TAC?
USM always has concert before the game. Off the top of my head one was the mollie ringwalds. Adam Doleac (current country music “star”) blamed baseball at USM and each year he’s one of the concerts. Seems like Kix would be willing.

I wouldn't go to one of these pregame concerts if you told me Elvis, Prince and Michael Jackson were all performing. Not with the team performing like this.

If those three were performing it must be Rock & Roll Heaven!
The fact that this contract will earn us almost double the old contract is a huge win in my book given the state of C-USA. Mid-week games are terrible for those of us out of town, but it's time to make some lemonade out of the lemons we have been gifted and use this to get students in the seats and get future alumni excited about the program.
