Its one the things UConn was reportedly up in arms about with the latest media deal. All the Big East fans on the board and the "In Your Face AAC" crowd that support other schools, were right there with them. We had people suggesting it was going to cost each AAC school $2-3M a year for production costs. Now they are saying it is the future and everyone is going there.

Figures.

Well it appears that the AAC has positioned itself to not only survive but to actually thrive in the new coming reality of sports media. Could all of those detractors have been wrong about the AAC contract,,,,,well it seems likely. Should the NBE start plotting a path back to ESPN,,,,,well it seems likely. Would ESPN be willing to over pay for their rights like FOX has done,,,,, I highly doubt it due to their underperforming tv ratings. I could very well be wrong and if I am I'm positive that the known AAC detractors will coming running to dispute my statements asap and I'll respectfully be open to it.
