Yeah I didn’t even know they had those conferences, USA definitely did have longer spells where they had premier league games but idk now since I don’t have cable anymore and they are streamlining with peacock and any other channels because their main thing is prem at least to me and it got really confusing where to watch games in the past two years USA Network has been all over the place, and once covered Big East games. They've variously covered the NHL, college football, pro tennis, pro golf, and boxing. Today, it's mostly WWE, "Chrisley Knows Best", reruns of Law and Order, and a backup for NBC Olympic coverage. It's still not clear if NBC has any plan for moving sports there going forward outside of what was on NBCSN, given how little is left in their non-Olympic broadcast sports portfolio: one Sunday night NFL game a week, Notre Dame football, and some golf. In the last 25 years they have lost each of the big four pro sport contracts. Triple Crown?

NBC's rights to the Preakness and Belmont expires after 2022, Kentucky Derby through 2025.

Remember NBC / Comcast also owns the Golf Channel. To me this move is nothing more put to push its programming to Peacock.

NBCSN has had some good coverage of major international cycling events, as has the Olympic channel/network. NBCSN in particular has had excellent daily coverage of the Tour de France for the last several years. I really hope we don't lose those.

Unfortunately they've re-scheduled the @ PC game to a time that is impossible for me to make.

Anyone in the DC area want to go to at least 7 to 8 home games? I am seriously thinking about transferring my tickets.
I came down with the flu over the past week and even though I am getting better, this one was a tough one and the ever lingering leaking mucous is very difficult to shake. No I don'thave Covid.
I have gotten my two shots(gonna see if I can get my booster this week) and gave myself a home Covid test. It returned negative results.
I got to thinking if I get sick with the flu and then get Covid, it ain't gonna be nothing nice. Plus, do I want to take chance with my life given how rampant omnicron is? I swear half the people in there don't even wear masks and that just angers me.

The program sent out an e-mail today advertising ticket sales for the Marquette home game on January 7. So it looks like that game is still expected to take place as scheduled. But a lot can happen n 5 days!

Thanks. I don’t think I have Covid but who knowa. I do know that I get the flu often and this feels like the flu.

To be honest, I am really afraid to go to these games even with the so called Covid rules. When I went to the few games that I went to, there were people all around me with no mask. If the players and staff are getting sick, you can imagine that fans are getting sick too.

Who lives in the DC metropolitan area? I am definitely not going to that St. Johns game at McDonough. I got a ticket to give away.

We received a refund for the St. John's tickets, and they announced the tickets to the McDonough game will go on sale separately. I'm hoping they limit sales to ensure distancing in McDonough. But like you, that is one that I will skip.
