Must be some sort of residual.

On the CUSA form, Houston, UCF, SMU and Memphis received $100-200K each in 2013-14.

I wonder if there is a required 2 year gap before the forms can become public.

This confirms the earlier report that the CUSA tv income dropped to 10.4 million in 2013-2014 (from roughly 14 million the year before). It appears thier contract was adjusted after the Defections to the AAC.

That would suggest that CUSA was forced to go to 14 to get as much for their current TV contract as they could. A short term problem with long term implications.

I have to wonder what the future of CUSA will look like...if the SBC and MAC equal it in revenue, maybe they should remove any low hanging fruit before their next contract is up.

Most likely from CBS...aligns with their decrease in broadcasts (@ 50% from CUSA 2 to 3). It never made sense to pay to shelve CUSA games in favor of purchasing AAC games.

Hmm, I seem to recall BB testifying in court a couple of summers ago that the tv deal was worth $84M ($14M per year over 6 years). Must have been referencing a past point in time...or I could be misremembering. Seems like it was June or July of 2014...O'Bannon case.

Seems like I saw them referenced last summer in a slide show piece. AAC rev was down significantly...cited BCS to CFP change. Can't remember total numbers, but it was tops of the G5 IIRC.

For that one year, that makes sense, but also got rid of distributions to to L-ville and Rutgers of $17 mill. New add's Tulsa, Tulane and ECU likely are receiving lowest rates initially.

That makes sense. I want to say each AQ conference under the old BCS agreement got something like 24 million. 2013-2014 would have been our last year as a BCS-AQ conference. Under the new CFP, the Big East/AAC was the only FBS conference to see a cut in revenue (every other conference saw a huge increase, we saw a cut). If I remember correctly, if we put a team in the access bowl AND finish as the highest performing G5 conference, we come fairly close to equaling the old revenu from the BCS---otherwise, the new CFP payments fall about 10 million short of the mark set by the old BCS-AQ revenue.
