Suck it.
It will be these type of metrics that Aresco will take to the networks. According to Sagarin, the AAC west outranks the SEC East.

Heading into this weekend, 4 of the 6 AAC West teams are ranked in the top 50, whereas only 2 of 7 SEC East teams are ranked in the top 50.
The AAC will never come close to the paydays of the current "P5", however there should be no debate the AAC is building a case for compensation worthy of no less than 1/3 of what the Big 12 earns, which should be a minimum of $10 mil per school. TV money is not the only factor to be addressed, bowl ties also deserve improvement. A champion from the West and East not earning a NY6 bowl should not be designated to bowl games that distributes less than $1-$2 mil. is a crime.
I'm not so sure if the AAC maintains this current ascension (3-4 programs knocking on the NY6 bowl mix every November) that a conference auto-bid to a NY6 Bowl should not come into play over the next 3-5 years. Consistency is a true mark of deserved-nous. I have no idea if auto bid structure is subject for amendment mid-term like the Tv deals, but a case for collusion against a deserving conference could seem like a possible argument.
