Totally agree. This looks more like an attempt to build more story and news driven pieces similar to what you see on most schools sites. Or add content to his own media enterprise that is full streaming.
Probably doesn't cost the Big West anything, and they will put the effort in to develop stories, etc.
With not having a broadcast/conference home making a weekly program, this doesn't seem like a bad thing.

From the BW official announcement it looks more like an attempt at marketing and increasing media access. Nothing indicates what you have implied. Previous Message
I just searched for info on Dan Tortora media. It appears to be an independent media company. I doubt we will be able to watch Big West sports on ESPN+ any longer. This could adversely affect Mens Volleyball especially. This is very disappointing. If that is the case it will shrink viewership immensely. The student may watch but at Long Beach State the students do not seem much interested in LBSU sports
This move could adversely affect donations to LBSU sports in a negative way. It is the old folks who have the money these days. The young adults and students are hurting financially.
