OT: American, who replaces 3 teams to Big 12

[Big East Fa]

Why would App State leave the Sun Belt? Sun Belt is the 6th best football conference right now

TV money.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

So all these five stars going to Memphis will be like "Coach Penny, we're playing who?"

Temple and especially Memphis are sweating bullets now.

Memphis can play Overtime Elite.

Temple can start a bidding war for the Philly market between ACC and B1G. Otherwise, they must feel like they did something truly awful in a past life.

 

[MU in MKE]

Memphis can always try to be the Gonzaga of the AAC? It's not like the 5*'s that go to Gonzaga are blindsided by their conference schedule. A$ long a$ the player$ are taken care of, they'll continue to get high level recruits.

current G5 tv deals:

Mtn West- w/ fox and cbs through '26 pays $270 million total divided by 12 teams = $3.75 million/team

MAC- w/ espn through '26 pays $10 million per season divided by 12 teams = $830k/team

CUSA- w/ espn+ and cbs sports through '23 = ~$400k/team

Sun Belt- ~$350k/team

the aac is currently around $8million per team? so they are probably falling below the Mtn West with their new deal after losing at least half their value. i didnt realize how little sun belt and cusa made.
