they must be desperate for programming, to air this projected POS. The network should be advised to have a disclaimer;"Watching the following program may cause increased alcohol consumption, or uncontrolled laughter"

Old news. Agreement with CBSSN was announced over a year ago, bfd, UConn to receive approximately $100k per home game. They got more than the football program is worth, at this point. But hey, they can pound their chests and say they're in the Big East.

The Huskies baseball team is having a decent year but I think the Big East is lousy this year. They did open up a new stadium, and the locals think it's awesome. It would be average, at best in the South.

Even better.
Connecticut Sports Network (CTSN)
has been on the air since 2009. They televise all the UCONN woman’s basketball games and have done so since day 1.

That's funny, because I live here in CT and have never heard of it! SNY has broadcast the lions share of UConn games including football and mens and womens basketball prior to last year and the deal with CBSSN. Even last year SNY would have had 4 of the 8 home football games scheduled, though UConn didn't play.

That's why I haven't heard of it. Comcast is a rival to my cable provider, Altice, formerly Cablevision.
