A few days ago, Old Dominion athletic director Wood Selig appeared on ESPN Radio 94.1 for an interview and discussed the current CUSA TV rights news among other things. He made some interesting points I'll share if you didn't just click the link and listen.
Right off the bat, Selig is asked about the new deal with beIN Sports and skips right past it to talk about the deal with ESPN, which in and of itself gives you an indication of priorities. This is not terribly surprising, as ESPN is The Worldwide Leader, while beIN Sports is a niche sports channel that primarily broadcasts European Soccer leagues and motorcycle racing.
