Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 3365856, member: 3517"] I would think the value of UConn’s media rights alone should fall somewhere in the $20-25 million per year, so if the contract remains at 12 years I would think the new contract would be in the range of $250-300 million less than the original $1 billion...yes, UConn alone was likely accounting for almost 25% of the value of the AAC’s media rights. I guess time will tell. This may be the only time ever that we’re on ESPN’s side. We want them to hammer the AAC in this contract negotiation because the BE conference will be able to directly extract our value to use in their next negotiations with Fox. ESPN dug their own grave and now they get stuck holding the pile of crap that is the AAC for the next 12 years without the biggest piece of the puzzle remaining. [/QUOTE]
