Have we heard from Aresco yet today?
He should have out there last night. What is he waiting for?

Maybe because there will be only one real bidder for our AAC tv package (ESPN) and that one bidder already called Mike and told him to shut up. Let’s see what happens today.He should have out there last night. What is he waiting for?
someone has to stick a camera and microphone in his face. ESPN isn't gonna do it. He should have sounded off on Twitter. Maybe Brando will have him on.Maybe because there will be only one real bidder for our AAC tv package (ESPN) and that one bidder already called Mike and told him to shut up.

That ain't how it works. If he doesn't brag on the AAC, no one will. He needs to shout it from the roof tops and have it echoed through out the media. That's his job.Don't worry, it will come out very strategically. He understands how the game is played. He's a professional and has to be careful not to spike the ball too hard and let the results do the talking. He has to work with the Networks and doesn't want to embarrass anyone or burn bridges. He knows the people who negotiated the P5 contracts on both sides of the spectrum.
UCF's undeafeted season culminating with the de facto National Championship win over Auburn speaks volumes. That together with the success of USF, Memphis and Navy this year as well as Houston and Temple previously bodes well for future TV negotiations. I'm still thinking that there may be possibilities for expansion with Army, Navy and select Mountain West teams. I wouldn't rule out a few select Bball teams. I believe all options will be on the table. I would love to be a fly on the wall during the planning and negotiating. This is an immensely critical time for the long term viability of the AAC.
Agree- squeaky wheel gets the grease. They want you to behave because it perpetuates the system.That ain't how it works. If he doesn't brag on the AAC, no one will. He needs to shout it from the roof tops and have it echoed through out the media. That's his job.
Listening to sports radio this morning in my town, no one is talking about UCF.

The point about Mississippi State is a good one though.
UCF was in front of MSU last week. MSU beat Arkansas by 7, UCF crushed Temple. So how do you elevate MSU over them?
I think the AAC has proven that a solid core of its teams are as good as the top or midlevel of the P5. And that includes teams like Houston, Memphis, UCF, USF, Navy, and in prior years Cincinnati. It just doesn't have the top echelon teams like the top 5. Still, UCF is nowhere near the top 10.

This is spot on. Sorry Palatine, I can't agree with being loud and boorish about the win and the snub. Those in the know can figure that out.Shouting from the roof tops alone won't get the job done. A well thought out plan handled by a seasoned and skilled TV executive will. He doesn't want to embarrass or ridicule his contacts like some on the Boneyard do. This is big boy stuff.
This is the best approach. And Aresco is probably best equipped to pull it off. Had Aresco been BE Commissioner instead of Marinatto things would've likely been different for the league, agree? Let him maneuver it his way. It's our best shot.The angle is to get ESPN to partner with the league because ESPN needs to partner with SOMEONE and they are just about out of dance partners.
He also said Auburn was going to win yesterday. Why would anyone listen to him?Finebaum just said on OTL that he doesn’t think schools with “poor schedules” like UCF deserve to get in. What a joke.
The fact that he's talking about UCF at all is noteworthy.Finebaum just said on OTL that he doesn’t think schools with “poor schedules” like UCF deserve to get in. What a joke.
No more insufferable anywhere.He also said Auburn was going to win yesterday. Why would anyone listen to him?
The Oregonian - only 3,000 miles away.Really? Because Boomer Esiason talked a little about it on WFAN New York City on my morning commute. I'd say that's something...
College football fans are not going to boycott the 4 game system (SEC, Big 10, ACC?). Why would they want other schools to have opportunities? They forget we beat UVA with Bob Diaco as head coach.The Oregonian - only 3,000 miles away.

FHCBD also beat UCF . And FHCPP beat Louisville at Louisville against Teddy Bridgewater.
