Long (as usual) lots of inside baseball for those of you who like the business of college sports.

Very cool read. It's refreshing to go from a conference that once paid to be on TV to one that actually profits from being on TV. GATA Sun Belt!!

Excellent article.

There is no reason that with all the markets the SBC has added they couldn't end up with a TV deal equal in value to what CUSA is pulling in.

Having at least 1 FB school in each of the Pacific (Idaho) Mountain, Central and Eastern timezones helps. The SBC is the first true coast-to-coast test.

What's the difference in actual dollars?

Could make thing interesting. What if the sunbelt gets more than CUSA.

We could really make a go at big bucks by adding Wichita State, MO State and JMU.

Yes, the large print giveth and the small print taketh away. They publicize total dollars but don't mention production costs come out of that.

Witchita State is NOT joining the Sun Belt.

To the best of my knowledge CUSA is the only league that reports rights fee + production costs and counts NCAA sports sponsorship and grant-in-aid funds as league revenue.

Doesn't mean that being on Fox Sports isn't a good deal for many of the members but for those of us in Arkansas, the Fox regional offerings are so bad you could take it off the cable system and few would notice. Doubt that is true in Dallas.
