SportsBusiness Journal headliners Michael Smith & John Ourand are on their game early this morning, report the AAC "is asking schools to sign a grant-of-rights agreement that theoretically would lock them into the conference for the duration of the next media rights deal." More: "By committing to stay in the AAC, those schools sacrifice the opportunity to jump to a more lucrative arrangement if a power five league like the Big 12 decides to expand. In return, those schools will get a bigger share of the conference’s revenue from its next media deal. The schools also get the stability that comes with a long-term commitment." https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2018/12/10/Colleges/AAC.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only makes sense to the teams that know they have zero chance of expansion. USF, Houston, Cincinnati, UConn, Temple and ucif would be idiots to sign this.

I would think everyone else, would want to roll the dice that there might be something better out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then we should sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both prepared & ready when the expansion opportunity presented itself. We need out of the AAC (For a P-5 Conference) not for independence. Maybe, just maybe USF needs to learn from history. IMHO, USF & UCF are the top 2 P-5 Expansion targets. Markets, TV, Location and up & coming programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
