How do you see yourself...within the context of our group?

I see us as having pulled our weight since the AAC's inception. We've brought national respect/positive media to the conference.

Not the top, but certainly not the bottom.

I assume you're excluding football?

Obviously. Granted, despite our on-the-field performance, we still rank in the top half of the AAC when it comes to attendance and TV ratings.

First step: Don't go near a television.

There's no way to make ESPNNOTV sound good.

What channel can I catch the Wichita state football game on?

Our football game's ratings will be in the same ballpark as yours relative to the game on the flagship.

What are the tiers again for our tv deal? I forget which schools are in which bracket. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

In the trenches comparison:

Average O-Lineman:
JMU - 6'3", 300
ECU - 6'4", 315

Average D-Lineman:
JMU - 6'3", 255
ECU - 6'4", 271

Obviously the above doesn't account for speed, quickness, skill, etc; but it does show how small JMU is compared to ECU.

Edited 8/29 after JMU released 2-deep. Numbers are based on the 2-deep of each team.

Better visual:

Before the additions of Navy, ECU and Tulsa there was an article which broke them down like this.

Group A - UConn, Temple, Houston, Cincy (maybe or 1 other, Memphis?)

Group B - Everybody else (both Florida schools were in here which surprised me)

If anybody from Group A left the tv deal at the time became null and void.

Is this a BIG game?

Nope just a bit scary since we are coming off a 3-9 season where we didn't beat anyone worth a damn and JMU won their little league championship.

With having less scholarships, we often take some OL players that still have to put on weight. Until our 2 deep comes out, this is our projected starters

Group A was just the four you mentioned, no Memphis.

And if anyone from Group A left the TV deal does not automatically become void, that is at the network's discretion.

FWIW, here was the actual breakdown:

(1) If two Group A schools or a Group A and Group B school leave, the contract can be voided by ESPN.

(2) if two Group B schools leave, the contract can be renegotiated if ESPN wants to.

I've never read what the results of that renegotiation must be, i.e., if the renegotiation doesn't produce an agreement, is the remaining contract void? I don't know. I presume it can't be, otherwise this clause is no different from (1).

We should have a pretty good crowd, we travel fairly well. My guess would be 2,000 - 3,000
