Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 4043514, member: 364"] LET'S PLAY MIKE ARESCO ... Poof ... poor guy, just a few weeks ago, some were saying he could pick up the B12 leftbehinds. WTF. Why> That conference still has a few years to go on their TV contract ... with OU and UT providing maybe 3 years of content. Once more: the AAC never has the leverage they blowhard their way around the media horn. I don't think they blow up once the 3 members leave. I think they grab 4 to be 12 again. Rice for Houston? Florida Atlantic ... (USF needs a in-state battle). I'd say Old Dominion - since they just picked up Football. And Temple needs Buffalo. There 4. And the lesser G5 bring 4 more. (see this is how FBS grows) David Benedict made the right call. The money that is fixed for the next 12 years ... can be reduced as the 3 leave. The Basketball - which some of us care about - gets reduced. In fact, if the hoop sucks ... why does Temple or Memphis stay? I feel good for kobe our Cincy friend. It is an upgrade. I do feel that UCONN is marginally better ... because suddenly, we have a handful of eastern friends that will play us more readily - Navy, Temple, USF. [/QUOTE]
