Good one. Wichita State has been a media darling since 2012. Our brand has been jammed into your home more times than I'm sure you like.

Try harder.

Well, I think you guys tended to get amnesia when conference time rolled around. No one really watched the Valley until conference tournament time.

Yes. We had 4 ESPN2 Valley games compared to your zero. You had more ESPNNews games but that probably has similar viewership numbers to FSN.

The only bad reality that could come from us joining the AAC would be our seeding remaining unchanged from the days in the Valley. I think the probability of that happening is small.

To answer your question about ESPN showing Valley games: Wichita State isn't the Valley, the Valley is Wichita State. Our brand superseded our conference by a wide margin. I suspect that will be the case again this year if we play to our preseason expectations. We should be a top 10 national program that just happens to be in the AAC. Yes, this conference is better than our previous one but not by such a wide margin as to affect the Shocker brand in any substantive way.

If the other brand names in this conference get their **** together, and a few others rise to the occasion, it may be a different story. But as it stands now, all the AAC is to us is a slightly better seed so we can make deeper runs and continue to push Shocker Nation towards its full potential.

Last season in the Valley:

ESPN - 1
ESPN2 - 7
ESPN3 - 3
ESPNU - 3
CBS Sports - 5
CBS - 3

22 games on CBS or ESPN networks. The remaining games were on Cox 2022 HD.

Media Darling does not only refer to television coverage which is in large part controlled by prearranged conference contracts, but print/electronic media. The Shockers are covered ad nauseam throughout the college basketball season. It's almost too much at times.

In closing: Valley teams enjoyed prime-time exposure BECAUSE they were playing us, not the other way around. Wichita State is a media darling and Koch Arena is an American college basketball treasure with few equals.

Spouts a bunch of incorrect assumptions.
Yells that other group is out of touch with reality.

Maybe the AAC isn't so different from the Valley after all.

I swear everyone is copying fanhood lately.

Again i asked how many of your conference/regular season games were shown on espn/cbs. Not including preseason or post season tournaments since they show those games no matter what.

I looked it up. You had the Oklahoma game (at their place, you know with big xii contract), Both Illinois St games and the uni game at home. Hmmmm, four games. Only 3 from the valley.

Want to bet you get more than that in the aac? Off the top of my head, both cinci games, smu games, the uconn games, and probably the ucf games. So eight here, yeah seems like it will just be same old same old for you all and not a doubling of your exposure by making the jump.

Yes, yes, you got on 3 of the valleys what 5 games?

Lol this is about the valley exposure vs the aac.

Tulsa was what 7th last year? How many valley games did evansville get on espn? Then go tell me how many cinci and smu got. Just a guess but its more than 3.

7th in the AAC is roughly equal to mvc champ, so at least you got that part right.

The real question is will wsu get on tv in 2019-2020 after going .500 in their new conference with their bestest team ever.

Wichita State had 4 Valley games on ESPN. I tried to drop a subtle hint so you would correct yourself but I guess I have to point out you not knowing how to count.

Illinois State, Northern Iowa, and Missouri State all had more ESPN conference games than Tulsa. Evansville had the same amount as Tulsa.

SMU had 6 including 2 on the flagship. I'm more excited to be on the flagship than having two extra games on TV.
