From what I've heard, FloSports is awful and isn't high quality, especially since you have to pay for it. I'll be going to all of the home games, the NCA&T game, the Citadel game, and the Wake Forest game, so i just need to see the New Hampshire game, Towson, and Rhode Island streamed. We'll see if those will give us good options or not.

I just don't see how this works. Love Elon sports, but, let's please be realistic - with a multitude of high profile games on in the same time slot, and many on national networks and built-in to cable and dish networks - how many are willing to pay, especially if it poorly executed. Maybe someone can explain how this can is a realistic option?

The CAA should have a much better Football Package especially for the Eastern Markets JMU, UofR, Delaware, and all the School's in New England? I know Elon can produce a high-quality event from our Communications Dept. but for $12 a month, really? We can do better.

Not happy with this. It looks like it will basically be the same thing we had this year, but now with a way too high $12.50 per month price tag. For comparison's sake, CUSA.TV is $11 a month or $100 a year and ESPN+ is $5 a month.
I don't mind paying for content, but why does the CAA have to find the most obscure partnerships and try to convince us it's awesome. I don't care about any of the other content in the FloSports network. It's funny both of our previous conferences are on ESPN+, and the CAA is on something I had never heard of before today.
It just seems everything the CAA does is 2nd rate. The media packages, the baseball tourney on campus, etc.
Go Phoenix!

I'm sorry, but if the Big South and the SoCon can afford to have a deal with ESPN+ and ESPN3 Shouldn't the CAA be able to negotiate a deal with one or the other as well? Beyond frustrated with this and Elon's NON radio deal.

Pitiful. How is this move to the CAA working out for television exposure? Not too well. The SoCon is way ahead of this crowd.

The CAA has sold its rights to FloSports as part of a comprehensive college media rights deal that is believed to be the first time an NCAA Division I conference has gone all-digital with its primary rights agreement. The arrangement will have FloSports paying the CAA a rights fee, something the mid-major conference has never had before. Select CAA games were on CBS Sports digital and the Fox Sports Go app last season.
When FloSports started offering a rights fee in the low seven figures, the conference made its move.
“This is going to be a cutting-edge deal,” CAA Commissioner Joe D’Antonio said. “To be honest, for a conference our size, this will be a significant revenue source for all of our schools.”
…“Investment in storytelling is a big part of our model,” said Mark Floreani, FloSports’ CEO and co-founder. “The CAA is a great conference with great content, the kind that often goes overlooked.”

Flo will Be belly up in 1-2 years. It’s a FCS conference folks. I’m keeping ESPN+, Netflix, Apple Music & Amazon Prime. I’m not about to add another service that will give me 4 events I won’t otherwise see and costs more than all the others. If they wanted exposure, this wasn’t the way to get it. This commish needs to be canned. He knows marketing the way I know the string theory.
