this is crazy talk, you think the nfl network would pay 1.2- 2 million a year for tier 3 football games from the mwc... it's crazy alk...

Yep.Just like ESPN isn't gonna hold some make believe grudge. There is a chance MWC content ends up on ESPN+ or ESPN3. See, the rest of the world doesn't think like this room does.
Last week this place was calling the MWC dead in the water, Boise was an after thought. You, 8-bit, your mod would run over to the MWC Board, then run back over here and talk about what was happening. You would laugh and talk about crushing the conference with one blow by taking Air Force. Some Temple fan over here lives on another planet when it comes to reality.
Now you are just scraping the barrel looking for any way to discredit any move the MWC makes. I told you a few days before the announcement the MWC was getting close to $4 million, the networks they would be on, and that we would have our third tier rights plus another handful of games to sale. You laughed and said I was wrong and thought we would get $2 million was it? You are constantly wrong. Actually, I don't recall you ever being right. Attackcoog or whatever he goes by here can play the game you are if he wants too. Bit the fact is there are more MWC media discussion here on this room than anywhere else on the web. What's that tell you? Aside from the fact that none of you all know what you're talking about when it comes to TV and the MWC.
I'll see you over there. I am gonna go back to where there is people who actually know what they are talking about.
By the way, Colorado State? You all really want the Rams? You love trolling the MWC fans over there. You should know CSU will be in the Big 12 soon.

If Boise State called Mike Aresco right now there would be a news conference first thing tomorrow morning announcing that Boise State has joined the AAC. Your schools and ESPN wouldn't even need time to think about it. Then, you all would spend millions on more of that P6 marketing making us the centerpiece of the video.

did you read the leaked emails? by chance about aac presidents talking about boise

have you seen any interview by an aac president or aresco talking about the boise situation???

..for the sake of being real, we need a 12th member so it would be discussed and ultimately after discussion and a stipulated contract would ultimately be added

but there would be a lot of thinking, most of the aac administration think Boise is a diva and more of a headache..you also sued us

if we already had a stable 12, there is a legitimate chance we pass on Boise

Yes you do need a 12th member. And everyone here wants what they can't get. Air Force, Boise, SDSU, Colorado State for some dumb*** reason.
Why are you not trolling the MWC Board tonight? Getting tired of getting laughed ?

Ah no we don't need a 12th. It would be nice because Aresco has said they do like the division set up for football and it is easier to schedule. But we don't actually need one and Boise is rightfully way down that list. You're program is the equivelent of a late 30s strippe. You use to be hot and make good money on the main stage, now you look still look ok and do private parties.

you are the only legitimately trolling at a another conference board and getting laughed at...
ive never "trolled" on the mwc board...i go over there to talk to fanhood every now and then (banned on this board) and occasionally comment on aac issues..im rarely ever there

the last time i posted there was a few days ago when a MWC fan said espn+ doesn't sub-license games to local channel in regards to the aac, and i gave him proof that was wrong ...that is your definition of trolling????..that's you guys humor? "haha look at that guys with links that espn+ sub-licenses games?"

mwc fans are the worst

Yes we are. Our board is the wild west. And we don't ban people for having a different opinion or calling out crap. No matter how idiotic they are.

Sure. Lucky for you your conference would ignore your opinion. And going with 11 teams would not be the best idea. Just like adding more basketball schools makes no sense. Add another full member and be done with it.

Lol, my conference already looked around and decided to stay at eleven and planned on that whether or not it got the waiver.

You're really bad at this. We added WSU for peanuts and they have almost paid as much into the conference as they will get out of the media deal. I know you're a MW conference guy so you don't get this, but basketball matters and our strength in both men and womens is part of the p6

"ESPN isn't gonna hold some make believe grudge"-- you are aware espn crushed c-usa, the only conference to fully leave espn...c-usa has been on a death spiral since then..espn has still picked up c-usa espn3/espn+ contracts but they have not done a thing to uplift c-usa

im not saying that is the case with the MWC, but espn has a history of grudges, i dont know if espn wanted to keep the content or not.. espn publicly noted they wanted to keep c-usa in 2010 (and would have match the cbs deal)

also whats your user name on the mwc forum, i have no clue who you are...

i have also not talked about mwc tv projection with a mwc outside of fanhood..my guess also wasnt 2mill

and 3.6 mil is more that expected but still not good... and fs2 is a trash network...this is not a good tv deal

Its not that hard folks. BYU or AF or a combo of those 2 and Boise or SDSU.

Probably not going to happen so stay at 11 until a better option presents itself.

The BYU & MWC deal is good enough and short enough to keep everyone put. Aresco is probably not going to dilute the AAC brand by bringing in a school with potential. Wait a few years and see who is serious about putting money into their athletic budgets and facilities similar to a AAC level.

The only wild card is ESPN paying enough cash to disrupt the balance, but I don't think they care enough that they lost the MWC. They have their "tweener" league and with them pushing the narrative, the AAC will be the "better" league in the minds of the average sports fan. You can see how they are already speaking of the AAC in a much more favorable light since they are now under contract.

If you are talking ratings, I hope the best for the MWC, but do not see it improving over the AAC.

Still, a much better contract that I thought the MWC could get this time around. Congrats and deserved.

Yes---that brilliant sharp thinking is exactly how the MW ended up with San Jose St. Fun tip for conference building----You dont get better by adding schools that look like the worst schools in your conference. You get better by adding schools that look like the top of your conference. If there arent any of those around---dont add anyone.

That is how you all ended up with ECU, Tulsa, and Tulane right? Please. And now look at Tulane. They have turned into a solid football team. SJSU had a pulse in football this year, return 8 on offense and 7 on defense next year, and should go bowling. Their basketball team looks improved too after a ton of turnover. And now, they are in the middle of stadium renovations.
Why have Tulane and SJSU improved? Because recruits wanna play in the AAC and MWC and they are getting more talent. SJSU just had farther to climb.
What's your next attempt at slamming on the MWC?

Most fans on this board agree - - the AAC will need a 12th member. The longer we have to wait, the more problematic things will be.

It would be very irresponsible for the conference to sit still with 11 members heading into the next potential realignment period, which will begin shortly after the AAC's two waiver expires in 2022 (if not sooner, given that the first P5 broadcasting agreement contract will expire a few months after the 2022 FB season:

"Power 5 conferences have agreements ending roughly around the same time (the SEC's Tier 1 deal with CBS runs through 2023-24). The Big Ten last summer opted for a shorter agreement with Fox and ESPN, which runs through 2022-23. The Pac-12 deal expires after the 2023-24 sports year, and the Big 12's ends the following year (2025)."

If P5 conference(s) should decide to pick up two AAC schools - and this is not a far-fetched idea - the American would be in pretty bad shape with only 9 schools and no conference FB championship.

At that point, the terms of the AAC's contract with ESPN would become null and void. The conference would have to scramble to add at least one FB and BB program, and would have no other option but to raid eastern G4 conferences. This is the way that vulnerable conferences, like the Big East and old South West Conference have imploded.

Adding a 12th FB and BB school may not be optional. It may turn out to be a matter of survival.

Jed. We dont need a twelfth member and pretty sure your polls earlier this year showed that most fans believe that.

It is likely we will see a rule change so the length of the waiver is irrelevant.

You can have a conference championship with 9 teams.

Why are you not trolling the MWC Board tonight? Getting tired of getting laughed ?

Ah no we don't need a 12th. It would be nice because Aresco has said they do like the division set up for football and it is easier to schedule. But we don't actually need one and Boise is rightfully way down that list. You're program is the equivelent of a late 30s strippe. You use to be hot and make good money on the main stage, now you look still look ok and do private parties.

Sure. Lucky for you your conference would ignore your opinion. And going with 11 teams would not be the best idea. Just like adding more basketball schools makes no sense. Add another full member and be done with it.

Yes---that brilliant sharp thinking is exactly how the MW ended up with San Jose St. Fun tip for conference building----You dont get better by adding schools that look like the worst schools in your conference. You get better by adding schools that look like the top of your conference. If there arent any of those around---dont add anyone.

That is how you all ended up with ECU, Tulsa, and Tulane right? Please. And now look at Tulane. They have turned into a solid football team. SJSU had a pulse in football this year, return 8 on offense and 7 on defense next year, and should go bowling. Their basketball team looks improved too after a ton of turnover. And now, they are in the middle of stadium renovations.
Why have Tulane and SJSU improved? Because recruits wanna play in the AAC and MWC and they are getting more talent. SJSU just had farther to climb.
What's your next attempt at slamming on the MWC?

So your theory is we need to add more bottom dwellers like SJSU? Lol. Bless your little heart——Adding to the bottom of your conference is not the way to improve your conference.

The real question is NOT: Is the AAC better than the MWC? But rather, without UConn, will the AAC be rated higher than the AAC or the PAC next season. Money is irrelevant in this context. It depends on the OOC wins and if the AAC keeps recruiting higher rated/talented kids.

We do? News to me. I don't. Seen lots of others on here who don't. Pointed out numerous times how we could avoid it. Nobody listens, so I'm done doing so. Hope that our leadership is smarter than those of you who do "agree" with this.

If read further up Reverend accurately noted that there was one Temple fan on this board with a loose grasp of reality.
