Yes they do, but it takes a "$10 million dollar per school per year television contra......oh, wait, that's ok, but it still takes a $7 million - errr, oh it's not so great but it's never going be less than $4-5 million per year television contract" to buy it.
Sorry, you're just in a different conference now - you still can't afford that ointment.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh, before you start yelling about how much better you did with that tv contract just look there first and do the quick division math; then tell me exactly which member of your conference HAS broken in to a money bowl when they weren't required to be invited to that bowl and THEN you can tell us AGAIN how much better you are than sliced bread.
If you think Memphis fans are upset about being in a conference with a better tv contract, better teams, and better exposure...you're wrong...I'd much rather associate with Cincy, UConn, Temple, USF, etc over teams like UTSA, ODU, FAU, FIU, MTSU, etc.
Better tv = barely (again, look at the actual numbers as shown in my link...it's not much different per year/per team, and not anywhere near the "almost double" you guys bragged on even after getting the actual aac contract details).
CUSA pays 900,000 per year for all-sports members.
AAC pays 1.97 million per year for all-sports members. (Navy will get 1.86 as a football only member)
so yeah, it's more than double
Better exposure, as well, = again, barely. ESPN/CBS > CSTV/FOX
Better associations = in the eyes of the beholder. Basketball is most definitely better. Football, not so much ... though I'll add that "barely" again. Still, taking cinci, usf and uconn out of the bcs money they'll be inclined to gravitate toward memphis quality moreso than will memphis gravitate toward the former aq teams level. you forget to 70+ million dollars in exit fees being divided up
STILL, of the three items, the second and third are based on speculation and hope. no, it's based on facts Only the first is a known fact. So, I'll give you that the aac tv contracts combined will bring in about 250k per year more. no, try over a million per team THAT is the extent of the known differences right now....basketball and 250k tv. you need to check your numbers
Now, why not go somewhere where the memphis ilk is welcome? July 1 is almost here.
120 million divided by 6 is 20 million and 4 million divided by 7 is 571,000. Divide 20,571,000 by 11 and you get 1.87 million per annum per team after the bridge year. That assumes that Navy continues on its own deal and doesn't count in the contract.
CUSA's three deals equal 99 million over five years. That comes out to 19.5 million per year, or 1,396,427 per team. It is still a million per year if you subtract the ESPN deal, which doesn't distribute evenly.
A number of sources list CBS Sports for your basketball deal. CUSA's three contracts are with CBS Sports, Fox Sports, and ESPN/ABC. CBS Sports has the exclusive option to sell inventory to CSS.
Your basketball is top heavy and loaded on the bottom with teams that have rarely been competitive. The top is better, though.
Most sources don't show much of that exit money filtering down to the CUSA schools, at least not compared to what Cincinnati, USF, and UConn appear to be getting.
I would be interested in seeing your sources if they contravene mine so thoroughly.
