The A10 only got around $6 million a year (as a league) for TV rights in 2022, and only was able to increase those rights by 40% when it extended its contract primarily with ESPN in December. Which means each Big East school will basically be worth the entirety of the A10 from a media perspective. The AAC, with its football component, is only getting $83M a year from ESPN through 2032, and that was with Houston and Cincy in the fold. On a per team basis, the Big East will be making more money just for basketball, than the 5th or 6th best FBS conference. This shows that there still is significant value for high end basketball. You can be damn sure Brett Yormark and the Big 12 will look at this contract and continue their scheming about splitting their rights between football and basketball the next go around. <- [/QUOTE]
