Fair enough. Do you know any of the coaches in the Big 12?
Sounds like you already have the facilites necessary to compete if you are even close to what Oregon has.. So what would you say the program needs the most moving forward?
Proper conference affiliation. Imagine Oklahoma State being in the C-USA.
With all due respect lets get real. The ACC people say the exact same thing. Trying to convince me that The AAC teams like SMU and Houston are going to have better exposure than OU. Temple is going to have better exposure than OU. In the future Tulsa will have better exposure than OU, this is by far the most laughable. Memphis will have better exposure than OU. I simply don't buy that. No amount of research will make me believe that is true because it simoply isn't. But if it makes you feel better then so be it. I know darn well that OSU does not get the same exosure as OU and have no problem admitting it. OU has some pretty amazing TV deals with Fox. Some of the deals these individual teams can get are simply amazing. I'm sure Uconn has a great deal for whatever media you have the rights to sell.
Misread the first time. my apologies.
We could get left behind of the Big 12 collapsed. I'd hope we could get in the AAC so we coudl play SMU, Houston, Tulsa, Tulane, Memphis as those are all somewhat regional games for fans to travel to.

It's already a reality. We saw it this year. UConn has no media rights to sell. The AAC has all our rights, and they sold all our rights to ESPN. ESPN then guarantees that UConn will be on nationally far more than we ever were in the BE, and we're on far more than any other teams in bball except for North Carolina (17 games), Duke & Kentucky (18 games). In football, every one of the games but the OOC against minnows will be televised nationally.

That sucks for UConn. Supporting all those less valuable programs. I would imagine UConn could make over 5 million just from the Tier 3 package the Big 12 gives you with FB, BB, and WBB games. On top of the conference payout.

A gawd awful coaching hire set UConn way back. Most here are optimistic with Diaco we will get back to winning ways. Pre Pasqualoni we were winning BE titles, playing and winning bowl games, beating name schools, and played in a BCS bowl (in a pretty short time frame moving up to FBS level). The facilities weren't the problem.

We'll never know. The women's bball program outdrew not only Syracuse men's bball, but they did so in NY. The SNY channel had all the packages and UConn bball was the most popular, they kick off the others head-to-head. UConn made $25 million a year in those licensing rights plus coaches shows, etc. But they lost 3rd tier rights in the new package. In return, UConn is now on national TV all the time. That seems to be the deal. We're on more than we ever were before, and have more exposure than the ACC teams. The contract guarantees that 90% of AAC football games will be on either ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. Now, they could dump everything on U if they wanted, but last year they didn't do that. There were as many games on ESPN and 2.

Syracuse still just set the ESPN record for a regular season basketball game watched in NY. Of course they had Duke as an opponent.
UConn is indeed getting exposure and that has value. If Husky guys started thinking in the mind set of FSU guys, some angst might dissipate.
FSU guys are team fans but aren't really big conference fans, in the conference pride manner of the SEC. A conference is just a place to play.
All you can do is beat your schedule, look good when on the tube, use the exposure to build a reputation. Until a P5 expands, that is the best that can be done.
Many with work experience will recognize the strategy. Keeping oneself positioned for a promotion to the next level.

Let me put this to you in simple terms: Syracuse basketball can't outdraw UConn women's basketball, never mind the men.

"The ESPN Saturday Primetime Driven by State Farm telecast of then-No. 2 Syracuse defeating then-No. 17 Duke 91-89 in overtime on February 1 is the network’s third most-viewed regular-season men’s college basketball game on record, averaging 4,745,000 viewers."
http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-r...-duke-espns-third-viewed-regular-season-game/
"The game drew the highest shares in the North Carolina Triad and Research Triangle markets, and the telecast also set records in Buffalo (6.7 local rating) and New York City (2.8 rating) to rank as ESPN’s highest-rated regular-season men’s college hoops game in both markets (records date back to 2002."

Let me come down to Tallahassee and tell you what is most popular there (not FSU), would that make sense? After going to the BET for 15 straight years, I can tell you who holds the fort. You're mistaken, it's not what you think. Mike Tranghese made this point explicitly. He said Uconn is the team that stirs New York.
That undefeated Cuse played Duke in the most hyped matchup ever and got big ratings is no surprise. The real Q is what happens when Cuse plays a middling ACC team, and the answer is, they'll get bumped by UConn playing anyone, or heck the Uconn women.

You're doing nothing but trolling now. Your response to people pointing out the unbelievable demand for tickets at MSG (higher than the F4) is to post some nonsense about an ESPN rating of Cuse-Duke. Stop trolling.
Stop defending the big mistakes Swofford and FSU made when they locked UConn out, because UConn not only beats Syracuse in basketball, but also in football.
Look up UConn's record against Syracuse. UConn pushed that school aside in no time. And the reason why is simple. No one plays football within a 300 mile radius of Syracuse. Whereas the state of Connecticut actually produced more than 10 players who were drafted into the NFL in a single year recently.

FSU did not "lock out" UConn for Syracuse...they pushed for Louisville after the Cuse addition (and this is internet conjecture since I have never seen it officially linked).
We have discussed, too much, the reasons why that made sense for the southern tier.

I guess we know nothing about UConn and New York, having been to the BET countless times over the years. That a women's game bumps a Syracuse BE game means nothing. You're simly impressed solely by the most overhyped bball game in history. That means everything to you.

It means what it means...that folks tuned in to watch the game.
And Duke was #17 at the time. But, it was probably Duke's national attraction.
I looked up the most watched games of the 2012-13 season, and three of the top five featured Duke, the other two featured Indiana.

Yep. I even noted it on the original post once I noticed my mistake. Had a couple too many beers last night.

So let me get this straight. You were getting 25 million a year for just your Tier 3, radio, coaches shows, etc... But now you get a few more games on TV and only get 2 million from your TV contract and you are happy about it. Do you still have any income from that 25 million # or is that all being shared with the AAC members now?
Where did Diaco come from? I am not familiar with his past coaching positions for some reason.

This is the type redneck, thinking that we are up against.
Okie lite,
Time for you to head down to Stuckeys and get another pecan log roll and some firecrackers.

That was licensing, ad revenues, etc., much of it associated with tier 3 programming, but including branding. The coaches shows are still there. I believe the contract with the producer (IMG) at base brings in $10m a year. SNY was also paying $2m a year outright just for the women's 3rd tier rights (yes, that money is now gone--ESPN is enjoying it instead of the school). So, there's no way to know what the coaches shows on SNY are going to draw since there are now fewer games (esp. men's bball) on SNY. That $25m will likely fall to anywhere between $15-22m I bet. Happy about it? Say what? You think UConn fans are happy about any of this?
