Message: [QUOTE="conorg223, post: 2953575, member: 8595"] We've known for over a year that this AAC media negotiation would be "multiples of current deal" per Aresco's appearance last winter on a USF podcast. We've also known the Big Priest would expand to 20 conferences games for some time as well--hence the need to add an 11th team. To think the AD David Benedict and the Board of Trustees hasn't seen this coming is foolish. We'll know the specifics on the new deal post-February when Aresco meets 1-to-1 with ESPN execs. And for those that think St. Joe's is the 11th member, perhaps consider Nova's reaction to that news, realizing the Philly market would be simply duplicated and local foe would now be in-conference. The favorite is St. Louis University by a long shot should Fox be unwilling to buy-out UConn's AAC $10MM buyout. [/QUOTE]
