UC rarely gets on Fox Sports Ohio-- maybe once every couple years or so when they are not covering the Cavs or the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Looking at our schedule last year the majority of our televised games were on CBS Sports Network (10 games basketball/4 for football). We had a basketball game on CBS (@ UConn) a couple on ESPN 2 and several of them on ESPN U and ESPN News.
As far as trickle down, I think we'll see more games were the announcers are not at the game and broadcasting from the studios. We'll get covered by nameless saps (hey maybe they can hire that Jess girl after she graduates from Bowling Green).
As far as the status of our media contract, I too would not be surprised if the AAC is in another home once this contract is up. I could see CBS Sports making a run at us (they cover the AAC pretty well--- the problem is if you want the station you have to pay additional money for the sports package) or maybe a new venture from someone like Amazon or Youtube TV.
