A company claiming it has rights to broadcast athletic contests within the SWAC has threatened to sue the league, claiming it interfered with a potential big-time sponsor. "As you know, "we have a current contract with ESPN, and we are negotiating with television mogul Byron Allen for the remaining broadcast rights," McClellan wrote in his email. FAMU’s UEN/HBCU League Pass+ deal is in direct conflict with the digital streaming deal the SWAC is negotiating with Allen’s HBCU GO. According press reports, the SWAC partnership with HBCU GO will begin this fall (2022-23). HBCU GO would distribute programming for the conference across all sports in the league, including football, basketball and volleyball — even Olympic sports. According to McClelland, the SWAC/HBCU GO deal could potentially be worth as much as $120 million dollars over the life of the contract.The FAMU Athletics release did not mention the length of its partnership with UEN or affix a dollar value to it." hbcugameday.com/2022/04/18/swac-fears-pending-lawsuit-could-impact-deal-with-pepsico/

I noticed the famu channel is down, but Grambling still has something up and running. I wonder if Grambling trying to be that stubborn child, lol They can have their own channel,they just can't broadcast conference games nationally through a third party. If that's the case with famu. My guess is either it's a technical issue or an administrative decision until stuff gets ironed out. Gosha may have violated his employment contract with rogue UEN deal FAMU Athletics Director Kortne Gosha appears to have violated the terms of his contract by engaging the university athletics department in a start-up digital streaming television network. On February 17th FAMU Athletics announced a multi-year partnership with Urban Edge Networks (UEN) granting the company the broadcast rights to all available FAMU sports, the Marching 100, and other university-related content. rattlernation.blogspot.com/2022/04/gosha-may-have-violated-his-employment.html?m=1 |
