ESPN will broadcast the C-USA football championship game in the next two years and will broadcast five regular season games the next two years.

So extra games will not be streamed on ESPN3? Ugh.  

 

ETA: We will have ESPN3 streaming, as long as we pay for it and do it right.  *crosses fingers*

Wow.  Less than $500k annual payout on the deal per school.  We could go back to the Oklahoma-Texas-Texas A&M away game scheduling circuit and get paid two to three times that.

Well...at least we're not in the Sun Belt anymore.

I think that is the reality of what these Lower G5 schools are trying to continue as long as possible. The Power League Cartel can make up for a lot of shortages with one bodybag game, but the probability of those games going away in the next decade are very real. I think that is when the schools in the Lower G5 will finally align geographically to reduce costs and encourage more fans traveling to closer games.

Agree.
