Riley probably didn't know what ABC or ESPN was until he came here to coach.So, the only shot of us having a game on ABC/ESPN this year is the PSU game?
When was the last time that happened?
It's not in as many households, and not nearly as prestigious.FS1 is basically the equivalent of ESPN/ESPN2 under the new TV deal. I mean if we were operating under last year's TV deal we would have 4 or 5 games on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2.
But it paid well...It's not in as many households, and not nearly as prestigious.
The disparity with streaming has to make it higher, but the cable subs are closer than I thought.There's not really much of a difference right now as far as households.
ESPN is in 87 million homes, FS1 is in 84 million.
