ASN/Stadium is another story. Tommy put it best in an interview recently. They are a coverage partner, not a financial partner. We are probably a year away before the 2018 deal is announced. Right now CUSA is looking for potential financial partners. ASN/Stadium doesn't fall into that category and likely declined that type of relationship with the league.
That doesn't mean they won't continue to be a coverage partner. If ASN/Stadium is televising/broadcasting/streaming events for multiple conferences like the Sun Belt, Patriot League, Big South, Colonial, etc...in September, 2018 then I suspect it will have some type of coverage deal with CUSA, as well.
