caasports.com/news/2021/8/12/football-caa-and-flosports-announce-expansion-of-streaming-rights-partnership.aspxRICHMOND, Va. (August 12, 2021) – The Colonial Athletic Association and FloSports have agreed to an expansion of their streaming rights partnership making FloSports the exclusive digital platform for live and on-demand coverage of 13 conference sports. The expanded agreement provides a minimum of 850 CAA events to FloSports annually over the next two years. All regular season CAA-controlled football and men’s and women’s basketball games will air exclusively on FloSports on the digital side with CAA member institutions retaining rights for local linear television distribution.FloSports continues to invest in collegiate sports at all levels with this new expanded agreement that includes an increased annual rights fee to the CAA. I saw this article and my question is what does “exclusive” mean. To me it means that there will be no ESPNU games or anything like that. Maybe I’m missing something. Exclusively on FloSports on the digital sideI believe that means streaming, like ESPN+ and ESPN3 What Is Linear TV? Linear/ Live TV is the traditional means of watching TV, in which a viewer watches a TV program on the channel it's presented on at its scheduled time. For example, if you watch “Blue Bloods” on CBS at 10pm ET on Friday when it premieres, that is considered a linear TV viewing experience. ESPN, ESPNU, ESPN2, NBC, Fox I dont know if "local" linear means something...ESPN is national linear bluehens.com/news/2021/9/28/nbc-sports-philadelphia-to-air-select-delaware-football-games.aspxNEWARK, Del. - Delaware Athletics and NBC Sports Philadelphia have announced an agreement to have three Blue Hen football games air on the network this fall.

That sucks I wonder if we can get a cost analysis on this and does exclusive mean there is no chance for ESPN or nationally televised games … that would be very troublesome to me.. caasports.com/news/2021/8/12/football-caa-and-flosports-announce-expansion-of-streaming-rights-partnership.aspxRICHMOND, Va. (August 12, 2021) – The Colonial Athletic Association and FloSports have agreed to an expansion of their streaming rights partnership making FloSports the exclusive digital platform for live and on-demand coverage of 13 conference sports.

Hopefully, Aggie Football can remain under the BSC TV deal this final year before having to be under the FloSports umbrella. (Then again, the BSC might be pissed about this whole situation and not air but a few of our 2022 football games.)

It's a two year deal, so there is an opportunity for a change in 2023.

Hardest part about this is going to be watching folks try to force rivalries with one of these schools, like trying to force one with Elon lmao.

Pretty much writing a check you know you can’t cash right now. They’re gonna force themselves to expedite a process that they wanted to do in 6 or so years because they got an invitation sooner than expected? Spend more money to stomp with the big dogs & anticipate getting trampled by them athletically for the coming years in most sports. I’m genuinely not trying to be negative because I can see both sides of this, but that part doesn’t make sense. It seems extremely hasty

All I will say is that we are not ready for this move. Financially, competitively, and facility wise. I don't care what conference we are in, all I care about is winning. Winning takes financial support. We cannot compete with institutions who have tremendous backing like JMU, W&M, Villanova, Richmond. The Big South exposed us, proving that their was a learning curve, and now we are about to cross a hurdle I don't think we can cross. I just don't see it.
