  1. ASN games are carried by local / regional stations such as 21 or 52. It's up to those stations to bid and pay for the rights to carry those games. If they aren't bought by those local / regional stations you're sol, So they've made it available on their website. Last year ASN decided not to stream, the conference kindly asked them to rethink that decision or they had to let the schools stream their feed through their respective websites.

    I really like that. The schools will be able to go to ESPN et al in two years and give specific number of people willing to plunk down actual cash to watch their games. I think they have a formula to get if X are willing to pay $y to specifically watch their school, the z people are likely to want to watch as part of a cable/satellite package. It's FAR better to work from an actual number, even if it's smaller, than some wild ass guess based on total former students as a percentage of an ADI. 

    Plus, it gives the schools something to work from should they want to continue their own streaming service. 

    I think G5 conferences would be smart to put together their own services, yes subcontracted but still primarily controlled be the conferences. 

    And the system provided by CBS Interactive was far below what could be done! 

    I should be clear, the schools that are able to get on ESPN 3 will get a small cut from ESPN, those game will not be available on CUSA TV as far as I know. That has yet to be worked out, since ESPN 3 requires you are subscribed through them. The new streaming service web page will be handled by the same folks who handle TExas, OU and many others.

  3. All schools will get a new streaming page inserted into to existing websites, until schools that are in contract with CBS are able to fully switch over. The conference has changed preferred website partners and are currently building their site. Mean Green sports streaming sites subscription will no longer go through CBS interactive, but will be streamed to the school page if the games aren't on linear tv. Those that have purchased or have purchased subs in the past should hav been notified by cbs that their subscriptions were cancelled. As I understand it, you will be able to buy one subscription, let's say through the AD website and use it on any conference school's website. However, if the team is away and the host schools has the ability to stream, the game will automatically populate on the North Texas page and the CUSA TV page. Save for anything on espn3, which for this year will only be 10 conference game which are chosen by the conference. All details and legal are still being worked out that's why nothing has been sent out yet.

    Perhaps the work around for getting the money is to make the upgrades a joint venture between the athletic department and RTVF.  I'm sure there are some RTVF majors that would like to venture into the sports broadcasting world, and this would be a phenomenal internship for them.  Since these upgrades would be for the benefit of an educational department as well as the athletic department, it might be an easier pill to swallow for the check writers. 

    I don't like that GTBGone guy- he seems like a tool.

    One would think media colleges would be on board whole heartedly and one would be wrong. The relationship is getting better. I know the easy target is the AD, but again, things aren't always as you perceive them to be.
