Thanks to a partnership between the A-Sun and ESPN, FGCU Men's Basketball will have 24 games broadcasted either on T.V or ESPN3 this season, including the first 11 games. The new release scheduled the 10 remaining Eagles' home games to be on ESPN3, allowing viewers to watch all of the Eagles' home games in the comfort of their own home.

In addition, three of FGCU's away games (Sat. Jan 25 @ Kennesaw State, Sat. Feb. 15 @ USC Upstate, Thu. Feb. @ Lipscomb) will be broadcasted on ESPN3. Each of those three opponents were A-Sun members who were already utilizing the ESPN3 system.

So now, 10 of FGCU Men's Basketball's home games will be on ESPN3, one on ESPN2, one on ESPNU, one on WINK CBS, and one on CSS. Away games includes broadcasts on Big Ten Network, Fox Sports 1, and other networks previously mentioned. The Men's A-Sun semifinals will also be broadcasted on ESPN3.

Also the FGCU Women's Basketball team will now have all 15 of its home games on ESPN3. They will also broadcast the semifinals and finals of the A-Sun women's tournament.

Excluding on air personalities and production positions, the system will be entirely student run.
