Great write up!
One thing in the back of my mind that was triggered again when you discussed the media market is the A10 TV deal. Does anybody have details on that, where games are typically broadcast? I know similar to the MVC, some of the lower tier games in a given week are ESPN+, but wondering where we’ll be able to catch the other games.
The A-10 has tv media deals with multiple media outlets.
CBS Sports Network
ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU (mostly Friday night conference games)
NBC Sports (used to be on the NBC Sports Network which shut down - now on other NBC properties such as USA Network)
All home games of A-10 members not on a TV feed are typically available via the subscription ESPN+ streaming service
In addition, several A-10 members have deals with local tv outlets for games
The A-10 Tournament Championship game is traditionally in recent years on the main CBS network on Selection Sunday. Most of the earlier rounds games have been carried by either CBS Sports or an NBC property. The opening night play in games last year were streamed on ESPN+.
