"What I think you'll find is those are fans of a BCS program that's not very successful," Marshall said. "There's a lot of schools, and I'm not going to name names, that are fortunate their university was placed in a certain conference so many years ago. Otherwise, they would be viewed very differently. A lot of this is just the conference. 'We're a big-time school, we're a big-time program,' when that's not the case. It's just the league you're in."


Marshall is awesome.

LOL. That is great.

Is it just me, or has CBS really been buttering us up lately?

You're welcome

I think that with Navy football and good Basketball, CBS is very interested in the AAC.

CBS has been very complimentary for a couple years now. Last year, Norlander wrote a fantastic article about Cincinnati being the best program nobody ever talks about.

The coverage on CBS Sports is always good. They broadcasters don't spend their time propping up other teams that aren't even playing or making backhanded comments about the teams in the American.

I do think CBS Sports will make a effort to bid on our next media deal.

Helps having Gary Parish as CBS Sports lead CBB writer. Lives in Memphis, former Memphis beat writer, a U of M graduate, and has a daily radio show in Memphis.

CBS has plenty of money, they just have no money for us.

Gary Parish is about as solid as they come. He’s pretty much spot on on everything. If I’m flipping through the channels and he’s on talking, I’m stopping and listening.

AAC should split its inventory and seek deals with both ESPN and CBS. Go for 2 or 3 football games and a handful of basketball games each year on *both* CBS and ABC. CCG and basketball tournament semis and finals on CBS. I think that is how the AAC might be able to conjure up $6-8M per team in the next TV contract(s) and still have some decent exposure.

Wichita is certainly one of the stars of this conference. Really excited to get the conference season going.

Its not just CBS. AP and Coaches polls, USA Today, ESPN, Fox -- they're all on board.

Adding the Shockers was a huge win-win.

Cbs sports shouldn't be broke. They are on most paying tv packages and now included in many streaming services. PSVUE just added them. They are going to want some of our content.

The Shockers have been getting buttered for a long time now. With us residing in a better branded conference, they don't have to do it while wincing anymore. The AAC can let their soul glow!
