AAC Tv coverage is a difference maker
Watching the Houston/Navy game on ABC with a packed stadium and contrasting it with the WKU/Marshall game on Fox with a half full stadium tells me everything I need to know as an ECU fan as to why the move to the AAC was worth whatever money we had to pay to get out of CUSA. There simply is no comparison to what we have vs what we left. In the long run this tv contract is going to be a difference maker for all teams in this league vs other G5 conferences. It represents a life line for us IMO.

Big market strategy plus perception of excitement and success (full stadium) = boom, boom, boom.
As much as I would like to see Navy win, the best thing for the AAC would be for the two biggest market teams (Temple and Houston) to be in the conference championship game. TV numbers folks, means WE ARE CREATING OUR OWN PIE, not looking for anybody else's slice.

Agree. Really impressed with Temple and Houston fans base this year.

RE: AAC Tv coverage is a difference maker
Example of the reach of this tv deal, was just picking up my car at a Midas place and they have the game Navy/Houston game on in the waiting area. The commercial happened to be the AAC spot showcasing all the teams. My Midas dealer turned the game on ABC because it was easy and convenient to do so. Good stuff.

RE: AAC Tv coverage is a difference maker
The Navy-Houston game looked big-time on TV, just as quite a few of other AAC games this year. As I posted on the Memphis board, I expect a very good recruiting year because of the positive big-time exposure, despite Fuente leaving. As the OP said, we are ALL going to benefit significantly. The longer we all stick together (and I think it's going to be quite a while), the stronger, and richer, the AAC will get.
PS - I noticed a lot of empty seats (early) at Pitt today in their Miami game

RE: AAC Tv coverage is a difference maker
No doubt it is best of G5. But $$ needs a big kick upward. Will that happen... Stay tuned...
Similar deals with 6 to 8 mil per team would be great, will it happen... doubt it.

In YEAR THREE of a brand new conference brand, what did you expect?
The autonomous 5 have the advantage of decades together.
For the AAC to be coming along at this rate is nothing short of impressive.

I doubt we get 6-8 mill in next deal but I think 5 mill is possible. The league has shown to be the best of the G5 and should be paid as that

RE: AAC Tv coverage is a difference maker
Absolutely it makes a difference. My wife works at Rice, so we pull for them, too. And yet many of their games on ASN don't even broadcast in Houston. Think about that. The team in CUSA's largest market can't even watch their games from within that largest market. That's insane.

BYU getting $8m per year, is that correct? No reason why the AAC can't get the same.

I would love that and hope we push for that but it will be more difficult to get them to pay that for 12 schools than for one

It's not a brand new conference though... the only reason the AAC has the deal it has and the better seat at the table is because it is a continuation of the Big East Conference staff and existing negotiations.

False. NBC thought we were worth this type of coverage and ESPN simply thought that this type of coverage was worth matching. You just come across a sour Marshall fan.

Of course I'm happy my Coogs are in the Championship game, and I think a Houston-Temple match-up will generate a great TV audience, I do wonder if Navy-Temple couldn't do better, with Navy's national appeal?
