From Hartford Courant article...UConn, UC, and USF receive around 10M per year in revenue distribution...at least until BE exit monies dry up.

The AAC reported revenue of about $79 million in the 2015-16 fiscal year. ACC revenue was $373 million, the Big 12 was $313 million and the SEC $639 million.

In 2015-16, UConn received $10,523,469 from the AAC, followed by Cincinnati ($9.485 million) and South Florida ($9.144 million). The three schools compensated the least were Navy ($2.757 million), Central Florida ($3.514 million) and SMU ($3.57 million).
The AAC is still distributing $70 million in exit fees from the Big East. AAC schools that were formerly Big East members are UConn, Cincinnati, South Florida.

A Better TV Deal?
The AAC's current TV deal primarily for football and basketball (seven years, $126 million, with ESPN) is in its fourth year. The conference will begin shopping itself for a new deal in a year or so, aiming to come to an agreement in 2018 or 2019.
The current deal expires in 2020 and the hope is the next one will offset money lost in Big East payouts. It is impossible to tell how much more lucrative a new deal might be. The AAC has separated itself as the clear front-runner among Group of 5 schools, but it's unclear how the product will be viewed a couple years from now, and how a network – which in the meantime will gain and lose other programming – might value it.
"Our TV contract is so woefully undervalued right now but we're hoping that makes up for some of that [exit fee money that will be lost]," Aresco said. "We weren't fortunate in realignment but we were fortunate to have that revenue as part of the deal where we had to give up the [Big East] name, and that wasn't easy to do, but we got most of the revenue and a lot of the units left behind, and that has sustained a lot of the programs like UConn and Cincinnati and USF and some other schools — for now.
