Not surprising. They lost their auto-bid, and didn't win the Access slot this year.

I could see the MWC might pick up 4 more teams.
Houston, SMU, UTEP and BYU.
The 4 could wind up with more money. Tulane, Tulsa and Temple hurt AAC big time.

This is why the Big 12 will not expand unless they are mandated to play a CCG with 12 teams which I seriously doubt will ever happen:

One national writer predicts Utah State will go to the NY6 Fiesta Bowl versus Notre Dame.

The very thought that Utah State could reach the Fiesta Bowl despite LOSING to BYU is enough to make BYU seriously reconsider independence.

Even if they had gotten the access slot, the AAC still would have lost money this past season.

Doesn't that presuppose that Utah State will lose to BYU?

Utah St lost their DC that had them playing good solid defense. I have a feeling they wont be as good as they were last year.

Yeah, BYU made less than a million with their bowl game appearance. Boise State helped MWC get a big raise. I think one of these conferences might decide enough is enough losing money to Boise State in bowl games, and pick them off to keep giving the G5 schools any more of the pie.

SMU wants nothing to do with the MWC schools.

Houston doesn't want to go, but they might listen if the money was *significantly* better.

UTEP would jump at the MWC, but the MWC doesn't want UTEP.

BYU will hold on to independence as long as they can.

Your projection is foolish.

Yeah yet another slanted article. Got to love it. I mean Fox wouldn't have to write this crap if they had bid enough for the conference but, no. They'll just post a BS article instead.

Yes the AAC's income declined. It went from being a BCS qualifier who actually won a BCS game (Thus got monies from said payout), to a non Auto Big Boy Club Card holder which did not win the auto bid to nothing. You know the auto bid to a bowl game that gets you into nothing else. Yeah!!!!

Sling some more crap and make it believable next time.

What I'm saying is that Utah State isn't getting the Access Bowl bid if they lose to BYU.

gawd I hate the AAC

Don't believe everything you read. ESPN treated the Big East like crap even though we were consistently ranked higher than the Big 10 and ACC in FB.

Yeah, he mentioned the wrong Texas schools. Utep, TX st, utsa and unt or rice.

We have an affinity for the MountainWest schools we are focusing east is that's where most of our students come from

The Power 5 conferences will point to this data and expect us all to be dazzled by the "large" percentage increases of the G5 conferences from the BCS to CFP models. This is supposed to be a shining example of how generous and benevolent the "power" conferences are in sharing their crumbs with the wretched welfare queens known as the "gang" of 5.


Don't be fooled, its all a con.


The P5 did not sacrifice a dime for the G5. What they sacrificed was their 6th partner, the BE/AAC. The P5 used the Big East to leverage a majority vote amongst the 10 league members for years, ultimately creating the most blatantly lopsided and corrupt sports league in the country. Once all of the chips were stacked in their favor and it came time to negotiate a new FBS TV contract the BE lost its usefulness and was gutted, stuffed in a trunk and driven out to the woods to be buried in a shallow grave, never to be heard from again.

Take a look at the combined revenue of the 5 Power conferences in the last year of the BCS and in the first year of the CFP, and the percentage of total revenue for each:

P5 BCS Rev = $164,688,755
Tot BCS Rev = $205,754,638
P5 % of Tot = 80.0%

P5 CFP Rev = $321,867,698
Tot CFP Rev = $402,939,299
P5 % of Tot Rev = 79.9%

BCS era of FBS- 11 members, 6 Haves, 5 Have Nots.
CFP era of FBS- 10 members, 5 Haves, 5 Have Nots.

Every single penny gained by the MAC/CUSA/MWC/SBC has come at the expense of the former Big East, not from the generosity of the P5. What the 5 Power Conferences have done is consolidate their power by creating a league that is weaker now than it was 15 years ago, all without giving away a fraction of their revenue share percentage. This would be an impressive power move if it were some sort of Game of Thrones scenario, but its not, its an amateur athletics league that cares more about securing the legacies of a handful of schools than promoting a sports league that is competitive and gives all of its members an opportunity to succeed.

A sport league with this type of revenue distribution and no direct path to a championship is a SCAM.

That is why the big name schools left for greener pastures. Only big names left in the AAC are Memphis, East Carolina, U. Conn, Cincinnati and UCF and maybe Houston. Think that SMU was going for the National Championship in the early 1980s. SMU might have gotten a P5 spot if they did not get the death penalty.
