My guess is that Charter's acquisition of TWC included rights to TW's 3d tier deal with SU (its an asset). If Charter wants out of the local sports market, it won't matter. But if it wants to use SU (as TW did) to retain subscribers and stop the bleeding to Direct TV, then I imagine it would continue the 3d tier deal in some form or another.

Either way, Wildhack will have optimal experience positioning us for the best outcome:

[B]As ESPN's vice president for programming and production, he was involved in cutting some of the biggest multi-million, and in some cases multi-billion dollar deals at the company, overseeing ESPN's rights negotiations with the SEC, ACC, NBA, Major League Baseball and numerous other organizations.

The most important qualification for an athletic director in the modern world of college athletics, especially at a Power 5 school like Syracuse, is intimate knowledge of media rights.[/B]
