ESPN3 it is.

[#MACtion]

The AAC's new ESPN deal explicitly outlines network games as nationally televised (ie, not ESPN3),

"The Jayhawks sold their local third-tier broadcast rights to a cable company (Time Warner Cable) and their national third-tier broadcast rights to ESPN, which will place those games (one football game, six men's basketball games and more than 50 other games involving Kansas teams) on ESPN3."

[Aresco] He flat out said it.

LOL! He said it!!

Like Aresco said:

- "the [AAC] is worth $8-$12 million"
- "No way Notre Dame will leave"
- "No way Boise State will leave"
- "No, No, NO, NOOOO way San Diego State will leave!"
-"We won't lose our AQ"
- "We are a Top-6 Conference" hahahhaha
- "Rutgers and Louisville wont leave"
- " We won't lose our ESPN blog"


Seriously guys... really? NO REALLY?

There is defiant, wishful-thinking.... and then there is just flat-out stupidy.... C'mon, I'll trust Kansas Basketball and then you can trust Aresco..

It doesn't say anything about ESPN3 being television, as you claimed. Tier 3 rights include radio, internet, etc.

It's clear here that you are confusing a lot of things. You are confusing television and internet.

You are also confusing Tier 1/2 rights and Tier 3 rights.

For instance, just to play this out, Kansas sold the rights to ONE football game. Why ONE? Because the conference games are wrapped up in totally separate deals owned by the conference. Tier 3 refers to non-conference games. Get it? And tier 3 refers to radio, internet and regional TV.

You're confusing things.

Go back and read your quote and notice that it says absolutely nothing about TV.

And, FYI, when you say Kansas trumps UConn, pull up the USA Today's NCAA revenues database and have a look at UConn's TV licensing rights and see how they compare to Kansas's.

Why are you even here, really? The MAC is a crap conference. There are schools preparing to drop divisions in that conference.

Bwahahaha. Thats what Western Michigan says about UConn. UConn would struggle to be .500 in the MAC. 0-3 vs Ball State....

FYI, I know more about what's going on inside the MAC than you do. I have ZERO inside sources at UConn. I didn't go there.

But, I did enjoy watching UConn do this: http://www.masslive.com/umassfootball/index.ssf/2012/08/umass_football_drops_fbs_opene.html

OK, I'll listen. What do you know?

Hopefully Eastern Michigan drops football?

At least we won't be on the Ocho between dodgeball matches.

What a depressing thread. Reduced to yearly number crunching to determine The 6th best conference based on attendance, ticket revenue, and Nielsens.
