Key quote (emphasis added):
Our next television/media contract will be critical to our future. We enjoy great exposure from our ESPN and CBS Sports Network deals and that helps us build our brand. But we need and deserve more revenue. We have come a long way in three years. We will continue our upward trajectory and I am confident that that will result in a far better television deal in a few years. We will be a sought-after league.
and on the same note:
When we did our TV deal, we were not as stable as we are now. We were a reinvented league that people were not sure about, and therefore we were not in a position to generate maximum revenue at the time. But we were able to get incredible exposure for the conference and that will help build our brand, which should lead to more revenue down the road. We have been getting stronger each year. We are building our fan bases. We are earning national respect. All that will translate into higher ratings and value for our television partners.
