TV time is hard to come by for any basketball league outside the BCS. The Mountain West and WCC have been able to grab a little more than most, simply because they play late enough to fill a time slot that East Coast markets don’t really know what to do with.
As John Templon of NYC Buckets noted recently (http://nycbuckets.com/2013/06/the-game-has-changed-mid-major-basketball-and-online-streaming/), that gap has been ably filled by various webstreaming services, pioneered in 2005 by the Horizon League Network. The HLN was a grass-roots collaboration between the league and a Butler grad who formed his own streaming service. For many leagues following in the Horizon’s footsteps, an existing service makes more sense.

I'd be in favor of some sort of package for streaming all Big East sports on my Ipad.
