Right, because the football isn't good enough to bring the markets in those places. But the top half is going to be the same in either league -- the best of one will join the other.
And that group of top C-USA and SBC football programs are going to be better off picking the big market bottom feeders than the small market bottom feeders.
It probably won't amount to much difference, but if that group going forward keeps getting better, it's more likely to pay dividends with the markets than with smaller towns.
Sun Belt got a bigger better TV deal, and then a raise and extension because of what small market Arkansas State, Louisiana, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, and Georgia Southern have done or because of what larger market Georgia State and Texas State have done?
So what's the per school per year value of the tv deal? I've looked but can't find that anywhere.
Your guess is as good as ours. If I were to take a ball park estimate I would say that the Sun Belt probably makes similar to what the MAC does. $750k to $1M range. That's just a guess though. Could be lower, who the heck knows.
It's not current AAC money, or even close. However, does anybody really know what the AAC will now be valued at?
I'd be real surprised if i was as much as the MAC. Its peanuts. Even the MAC deal isn't enough above to entice anyone away. CUSA has larger athletic department revenues (which includes subsidies). Not by a lot, but more.
