I thought Comcast dropped YES in Connecticut.


They dropped YES completely almost a year ago. I don't know if that affected BTN. Comcast is the major cable television provider for Connecticut. I think SlingTV has it so that will prompt some streaming. If the BTN is already on in Connecticut at local tier on cable, then the B1G doesn't need UConn. Most of their schools don't want to be travelling east anyway.

I do know that UConn has a lot of stuff on SNY like football and basketball, which is the network for the NY Jets and NY Mets. And they now have it covering the state of Connecticut. ESPN and the ACC could slide right in and migrate the stuff from SNY, or at least some of it to get coverage across that state.

The ACC has a network now. It changes thinking from the need to bring in a football power located in a small population center to the need for being in a population center that has a franchise with a following. UConn does that.
