C-USA Commissioner MacLeod Bullish On Current TV Deal, "Great" Partner BeIN Sports

C-USA's TV deal approved last summer "came under scrutiny" for a more than $10M loss in rights fees, but there have been "bright spots as the conference looks towards its new TV deal talks this spring," according to Aldo Amato of the Murfreesboro DAILY NEWS JOURNAL. In particular, beIN Sports has been a "success with conference officials for its production quality." C-USA Commissioner Judy MacLeod said, "They have always been well prepared and the production quality is great. If we can figure out the distribution to increase that, it's just really been a great partnership. We've been their first college partner and they have done a great job for us." Although no partners have been announced for the next deal, MacLeod said she would "certainly like to have (beIN) back." Amato noted C-USA also "launched its own in-house network (C-USA TV) last year." Member schools are "responsible for producing games and subscription revenue goes right back to the schools." MacLeod: "We've had a few hiccups. The growing pains continue but we're still making some strides" (Murfreesboro DAILY NEWS JOURNAL, 2/28).
