SNY now home of... U Conn Basketball/ Football

This makes me sick, but whatever.  Jim Calhoun's statement about it saying he most likes that most of the homes are in the NY area and that will give them an upper hand in recruiting really bothered me.  I can't stand that they are trying to make UCONN New York's team but the only way for us to negate that is win.  My only question is if this will have any impact on the way we are televised.  I loved the Big East Pre and Post game shows on SNY but I guess that is now gone for the most part.  Also it's going to bother me that their analysis of the Big East Tourney will come from a UCONN slant.

For a huge college football fan who watches games all day I can honestly say I will watch zero SNY coverage of UCONN. Basketball wise I dont think it help them that much. Casual college fans turn on ESPN for basketball and football. Look what happened to hockey on Versus. When the NHL was on espn i might watch occasionally, but since it is on Versus I havent watched at all.

this is some bull sh1t. this better not interfere with our coverage.

I don't see this being a big deal at all. We has MSG network and SNY televises all big east basketball games anyways. This is more a football thing than anything.

Big east needs to step it up and create their own network like the big 10

Only thing about a BE network is that in the networks, it seems that football brings in the big audiences.  And Big East football doesn't have that level of football.  Plus, I'm not sure how strong the demand for the network would be in the Big East imprint (since cable companies choose to carry it or not); yes, the league has touch in Chicago, but it's DePaul. People barely go to games here.  The league's best football is probably in Pitt or Cincy, and neither's a big market.

I bet they could get a network off the ground, but it def won't bring in as much money as any of the other networks or SEC's deal.

A big east network wouldn't work bc of football unless they convinced nd and penn state to join.

Wouldn't Court TV would've been a better fit? 

I'm boycotting this station starting today.
