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

http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-husk...story.html

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.

The 3 were lucky getting the huge pie anyway. Now is all based on what this conference can do without payouts, units, and selling the name. I still think we get $4 million each with good exposure which would still put us in the tweener status.

I get why Navy's numbers are down (football only member), but I wonder why SMU and UCF's numbers appear to be lower than the rest of AAC (not including USF, UConn, and UC).

We're lucky huh? I'd say UCF and company are lucky to be cashing in on those yearly basketball credits over the past 3 years (which are mostly thanks to UCONN and Cincinnati).

But to each their own...

We didn't get any basketball credits due to post season ban

Luck ain't got nothing to do with it.

May also have something to do with how bowl revenue is distributed. I imagine schools going to bowls get extra league revenue to off set actual travel expenses. Whatever is left of bowl income after paying out expense allowances to traveling teams, is probably then equally divided between all members. Final year revenue disbursements would appear as some have more revenue, but after bowl expenses are backed out, it probably evens out.

"The three schools compensated the least were Navy ($2.757 million), Central Florida ($3.514 million) and SMU ($3.57 million)."

that means Memphis is making at least 3.6 million per year in the AAC...that's more than 3x what we were getting in CUSA (1.1 million) to go along with better TV exposure and better competition.

I'm so definitely against unequal revenue sharing.

If only UConn could play well again in basketball b/c in football they're not bringing their share.

Glass houses.

Our product may suck...but people are tuning in. We are in the top half of the conference in both basketball and football TV viewership. The same can't be said for Houston. In terms of people in the stands - You can't even sell out your less than 40,000 stadium with an undefeated team. And let's not even bring up your basketball viewership.

Who again isn't carrying their weight? Hopefully you can bring up those numbers before the TV contract look-in period.

USF, UConn and Cincy have been living high on the hog compared to the rest of us.

The next TV deal will need to pay $7M per school per year or else USF, UConn and Cincy will see reduced annual conference payments.

The rest of the members split 30% of that money. Not a huge factor really. Doesn't matter because we all need to step up now. If we can land at least 4 teams in the tourney and one going deep, the ncaa credits can stay strong. This is a huge year for the league pushing into tv negotiations.

If we are making 2 million a team in media and the base payout without a exit fee boost is around 3.5 million---we'd need a 6-7 million dollar RAISE to get to that 10 million dollar territory. That means a media payout of 8-9 million a team. I don't know if that's gunna happen. I suspect not.

Obviously, if the base payout is higher, UConn would need less of a raise to keep pace.

What is the annual revenue expected for newcomer Wichita State?

Except USF, Cincy and UConn average about $9M from the conference. And the rest of us average about $4M.

So we need a $5M raise from TV to bring us up to what USF, Cincy and UConn have been enjoying.

Houston has a rich history Football Basketball Baseball Golf Track etc.

Our new football stadium is complete, we're now upgrading our basketball arena and before long our absence in basketball will be yesterday's news.

Don't start 5h¿t with Houston

Ah yes...because people weren't tuning in for the rematch after UCONN embarrassed you the year before...

And my point stands firm. Since the inception of the AAC, UCONN has been in the top half of the conference when it comes to BOTH basketball and football TV viewership. We weren't included in the "A group" for nothing. That's a fact bud.

This is another reason why WS will probably reconsider pursuing football….

We're bringing our basketball program back unlike y'all in football, don't see the light nowhere near proly not for a long long long long time.

You better hope yall's basketball doesn't drown too
