Message: [QUOTE="GridironGR8, post: 3100513, member: 9351"] Could somebody provide a simple answer for a simple guy? There is so much posturing from both the Aresco champions and the AAC-haters on the AAC forums that it is difficult to get a clear unbiased picture of what the new contract calls for. The way I am seeing this, it looks like whereas under the old media contract Tier III rights belonged to the school, but under the new contract ESPN owns all three tiers and can sub-contract if it so chooses. Is that correct? The bottom line being under the old/current contract UCONN makes it own Tier III deals with SNY and gets paid. Under the new contract ESPN gets paid if it shifts content to SNY?
