So yes, as to expectations, it pretty much hit my mark.

But remember, expectations and satisfaction are two different things. If I'm a Wake Forest fan and we are playing Clemson, I may fully expect Clemson to beat the tar out of us, but that doesn't mean I'm satisfied or happy when it happens.

For seven years, we were told by Aresco to wait for 2020, when the big payoff would come. Just last year, he said the deal would be "within the P5 range" or something to that effect. And yet the deal he delivered was light-years from that. And as the SDSU AD said, the real kicker is that 12 long years from now, AAC schools will only be getting around $8m a year. It's a very tight window with no real growth.

Meanwhile, actual "P" schools will be seeing their revenues rise probably by $2m or more each year, meaning the already yawning gap will just grow larger.

You know a deal is soft and weak when a school like UConn thinks they can make more money by putting their other sports in another conference and go Indy in football. Even Alabama or Ohio State can't do that.

Why do you care? You are the biggest troll ever to post on this forum. Do you even have a life in at least the Summer? You are the biggest anti G5 loser on the planet. UConn sucks. AAC got rid of their worse product and will get paid for it.

You are a worthless AAC fanboy, you lap up whatever nonsense is posted on the AAC board by other rabid fanboys, or by Aresco. Totally useless, as there are many other fanboys who duplicate your "contributions". Heck, if Cincy were smart, they would dump the AAC and beg for Big East membership too.

You are a worthless troll who hates any G5 success, especially the AAC. Unlike UConn UC has been to 8 straight NCAA tourney's. UConn missing 4-5 consecutive Tourneys isn't about being in the AAC (nothing bad about their recruiting classes) it is on their coaching staffs. UC has made the Tourney playing in the MVC, Metro, Great Midwest, CUSA, Big East, AAC. Football independence = no bowl tie in, no access to NY6, no TV contract, lol. Only an idiot troll would suggest this.

No, you are the worthless troll, because if you didn't exist, there are still 100 other AAC troll fanboys saying exactly the same thing you say. You wouldn't be missed anywhere.

I have more faith in the strength of UC football than you do. I think you guys could get around $4m for your football from ESPN, and that would give you more total media money than the soft/weak Aresco deal will. And ESPN could tie you in to the same bowls BYU has. As for NY6, you can make that by earning a playoff spot - even last year, you've never come close to getting the G5 access bid so that's nothing to worry about.

Cincy is treading water in the AAC. The Big East would be a good upgrade.

Never missed the Tourney playing in the AAC. 11-2 in Football.
