I would love for him to stay in the AAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as a P5 conference doesn't make enough money, change will happen. And the will eat their own: you are on the clock B12! As for the American, it's got to find a way to make more money. It's barely putting food on the table when compared to P5 money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have to be after the contract is up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not privy to details in the AAC's media contract, but I think ESPN would have a right of first refusal up to a certain dollar amount. If interest in the AAC seems high, then you renegotiate a contract extension with ESPN for much more money and better exposure to stay for set years before the expiry of this contract. I think getting on a digital platform like Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, or Hulu would be huge for the AAC. Interest from those digital entities is the X-Factor in all of this.

To have 12 full stadiums every game To sell out every advertising spot on broadcast and stream To sell tons and tons of branded merchandise To have 3-4 ranked teams every week. If the public demands more and better access to AAC football ESPN/FOX/CBS/ETC will supply it. Pure economics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to your second point, what? ESPN and Fox give them more money than all other revenues combined. The conference would be out of their minds not to factor in their single biggest source of revenue. Ridiculous would be to freeze ESPN and Fox out of the decision. Just wanted to say that I was of the opinion that this process was a joke back in September and got flack for it.

Would you like a cookie? Since you don't know what's going on the behind the scenes, you don't really know, do you? Nothing ridiculous about getting TV networks to give you money NOT to do something, which is exactly what it looks like is happening. Pretty good negotiating on their part.
