All three are better Brands at this point than programs like Sam Houston St. or Jacksonville St.

I’ve said this a few times but only the Legacy ACC schools receive the $7 Million/Year media package. The CUSA6 schools receive roughly $2.5 Million/Year.

The SBC sits at $2.5M, CUSA is below that amount at this point.

The basketball rivalry against WKU was always fun

No, they are attracted by a shiny object that is just temporarily polished, but will be not shiny soon.

No, sir. I’m talking about the CUSA6, the 6 CUSA schools that recently joined the AAC. They are receiving only $2.5M/Year while the Legacy AAC teams get the full $7M annually.

Got you, but isn't that initially because they waived their entry fee?

"The six new members will not receive the same conference payout as the eight returning members at first, though Aresco said the plan is equalization at some point. The AAC’s TV deal with ESPN has paid members around $7 million per school. A mix of exit fees from departing members and other factors will keep the eight returning members whole. The six new schools won’t make that much but will still make more than they did in Conference USA."

Yes, sir, that is correct. I don’t believe they will actually see that revenue.

Agreed. I don't think they'd just anywhere without a travel partner in MTSU, right?

Didn’t want to start a new thread because game is so deep, but the Mets/Braves game 1 in the 8th/9th is one hell of a baseball game. Not hijacking, just heads up. 3rd lead change, Mets batting top of 9th

What good is a "travel partner"?
It's not like schools are traveling together to reduce costs. I don't understand.
