ESPN isn't paying us anything!!! Wow!!!Unlike ESPN, which isn't expected to pay any rights fees, it appears beIN Sports will ante up pretty decent money, according to sources.
Also, sources say beIN Sports might televise as many as 10 C-USA football games.
I would hope they at least cover production costs. If they're not Tier 1, it doesn't bother me that much.Originally Posted by sportdawg
So . . . you think beIN Sports will not require 11:30 am CST kickoffs? Getting away from the full plate of ESPN, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox might allow C-USA to kinda have kickoffs that benefit the fans ATTENDING THE GAME.
Just a thought.

I think the European Soccer will be on during the morning/early afternoon slots. I think 3pm-7pm kickoffs will be the norm.
I like the beIN partnership. It's outside the box - we will be their only American Football conference. Plus streaming availability for fans.
I'm glad the conference is at least trying to do something.
That's alright. If something better comes along, we'll be in the position to take advantage of it. There's nothing wrong with keeping your options open.
That's what I'm thinking.

Good info about TV Deal
Television Platform Football Men's Basketball ESPN Networks 5 0 CBS Sports Network 6 6 ASN 15-30 13-59 beIN Sports 10 10 each TV partner retained digital rights to the events it will televised, meaning the ASN does have the digital rights to its games. This lines up with the other three TV partners who have authenticated digital streaming access (WatchESPN, beIN Sports Connect and limited access to watch CBSSN online). Could Sinclair make an agreement with another party to stream those games? Sure, but ASN has shown the ability to stream events online before, so it is feasible for them to do so.The C-USA office says announcements for digital packages will happen at a later time.
