Hell, even without the TV $$, just getting those teams on the schedule in football and MBB as opposed to what we currently have will be worth it from the perspective of donations, ad sales and not having most games on crappy ESPN+. This will be a financial boon any way you slice it.

It's starting to get funny how much some of you sound like UConn fans circa 2019...

You realize that the games that get sent there are the ones nobody cares about.

We just dealt with the high school production of ECU at UC. You think WVU at UC is going to get shoved off there? Oklahoma State? Kansas? Baylor? Houston, etc…? C’mon. It’s the school produced product that ESPN generally uses for free content that nobody outside of those alumni bases (or the advertisers) cares about.

Wait -

Are you complaining about the production of the ECU at UC game?
Do you know who is 100% accountable for that production and its quality?
It isn't the AAC, and it isn't ESPN, and it isn't ECU...

Every school’s ESPN+ production blows goats.

The on air talent are usually people who live in town and think being a color commentator would be kewl. The production quality is normally high school audio visual club level. It’s comparatively awful. Makes every game feel like the Atlantic Sun game of the week.

Obviously, you haven't watch East Carolina's production on ESPN+ at all. We had 24 baseball games on last season and numerous basketball games this year as well. Top quality and Patrick Johnson commentary is as good as any. Poor analogy.

The teams you mentioned comparing an ABC production to high school is pretty high schoolish on your part and not well thought out. No one, outside of the UC market, in the eastern time zone could care less to watch a match up of UC vs. Baylor, OSU, or Kansas. Don't believe me just ask WVU.
