Hope Banowsky is working his TV network contacts

To me, C-USA should be hitting very networks that the Big East Commissioner is making his pitch to in this article. Not saying he could get as much but there are many similarities that C-USA could offer.

CUSA signed a new TV contract last year that does not run out until 2016

there is no reason for the networks to open that contract up and renegotiate anything that concept has pretty much been debunked since the SEC has not had theirs significantly reworked and neither has the ACC and by the time this contract was signed the networks were fully aware that conference shifts were taking place
