UConn PR Department finally getting a pulse?

[UConnSportsGuy]

Nice PR article on the success of UConn Athletics on SNY and its delivery of Uconn to the key tri-state area TV market. Sounds like UConn may have finally received the message...but hopefully it is not too little to late.

Timed release to coincide with the 2012 IMG Intercollegiate Althletics Forum - Examining the Business of College Sports event underway in NYC today/tomorrow?

Can't be any worse than the UMD ticket office. Just got a mailer yesterday with a deal to buy tickets for a game that occurred a month ago.

How about SNY and DISH Network getting together and making a deal to get on the system. It is 2 years now that they have been in negotiations to come to an agreement. It Sucks. I have Season tickets for football 0nly.

I think UConn is just re-releasing a SNY press release. But they got that going for them.

I left dish network for uverse over that issue. Paid the early termination and everything. Dish seems to want out of the sports business thing and their customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with even worse than diecttv if u can believe that.

Are you sure Dish would want out of sports? Go to any city in CT with a large immigrant population and the houses are covered with dishes. This to get the ever prized soccer games of course...

Yeah, but are you distinguishing Dish from DirecTV? I'm a soccer fanatic, and I have DirecTV, which has all the sports I could want. Not sure Dish has the same packages (I could be wrong)...

Stay strong-I wouldn't pay more than $12.50 a pop for those tickets!

Dish has never had YES network, and it wasn't the least bit sad to see SNY go. They refuse to play ball when it comes to sports network rates, especially when they want carriage on basic/national tiers instead of regional/sports tiers. Sucks, but... I guess I've just gotten used to it. I refuse to go to Cox, and DirecTV is more expensive. If there were any other alternatives...

While not dedicated to Athletics, Dave Martel and his team have done a great job getting the right messages out externally to potential students and alums through various media channels. http://communications.uconn.edu/people.html


Only wish the Athletics Department had such a focused, multimedia plan.

I also appreciate the yearly call I get from the Rutgers ticket office asking me what my football plans are for the coming fall. They don't really have a scripted answer to respond to 'Cheering on 'n UConn Huskies!'. Sell me on that, Mr. Work/Study.
