If you think the AAC contract is bad, look at the Big East TV contract.  FOX broadcasts the Big East and they get "at least 17 games on FOX", but those include OOC matches like Louisville at Seton Hall, Gonzaga at Creighton, Wisconsin at Marquette,...  Most of the games are on FS1 or FS2 with a number on Fox Sports Networks (regional sports networks).  The result is ratings aren't good for Big East basketball averaging probably half the viewership of a typical ESPN game.

Women's basketball has even less exposure on FOX and the sports networks.  Most games end up on the "Big East Digital Network", in other words streaming.  It would appear that SNY could grab a bunch of women's basketball games to keep that relationship alive.

Moving to the Big East would ensure a drop of viewership and would probably eliminate the SNY relationship with men's basketball (as well as football), but probably keep the women't basketball relationship.
