New AAC ESPN Contract Value Poll

[intlzncster]

It is you, yes ZLS? I knew we had one, but couldn't remember who exactly.

zls vs a million Cuse grads.,..who ya got?

This is the salient point I was coming here to make. Those motherfcukers need something to put on their channels. All the major conferences either want to or already have a network of their own, whether they are backed by ESPN or not. If they truly had any vision they'd know that destroying schools like us will just deplete even further from the inventory they can choose from.

Why can't we get a UConn loyal alum somewhere on the inside at ESPN??? It's just your job, think about your alma mater!! Screw all those Newhouse dipwads!

We've got Molly Qerim and she's better looking than all those Newhouse tools.

You said loyal, ZLS hasn't rooted for a UConn sports team in about 37.8 years.

6/6.5 I guess

I do know everytime I start buying into boneyard optimism it gets immediately slapped down by reality

Lol. I loved this post. Whaler is hilarious sometimes, especially when he acts human. I laughed at the notion of Whaler having optimism, then I laughed again when he said it was our fault he became optimistic and then again when he said reality ruined it. Classic Whaler11 moment of vulnerability.

Didnt Erika go to Syracuse? She does an incredible job for the Devils.

Remember when we had a functional marketing department that had an Erika (or Emily)? I liked the post game videos and midweek interviews with coaches and players.

I see your Erika Wachter and raise you a Justine Ward

Its probably for the best for Mike Cavanaugh that he doesn't do midweek interviews.

"I'm feeling really good about our kids" after they get their faces pushed in every night gets taxing.

Women’s games on SNY

Aresco would ask for more than $12 if he's a skilled negotiator. He's knows the true value and growth potential and knows ESPN is going to try to keep the number as low as possible. Aresco also knows ESPN needs content so losing the AAC could cause them to scramble to get the content needed to fill all their slots.

I voted for the $4-10 range but based on the comments/ lack of I think they might have hit ther $10 mark or done better

If they didn't, Aresco and Bowen will look pretty stupid in retrospect for acting like they're happy with the deal.

Don't know did the men's and women's BB games last year, does just the women/studio and Geno show now.

How about some love for Gina Salvatore?

The longer we go into Friday without an announcement; the more worried I become.

This has all the making of a Friday afternoon news dump saying “the AAC has agreed to terms with ESPN paying member schools 4 million dollars each. Areseco said ‘we consider this a huge win for our conference, we’ve doubled our value and look forward to hosting ESPN’s College Gameday at Houston tomorrow.’”

Kill me now.

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

Anyone have any idea when the announcement will come? Any shows or press conferences or anything that will be times to watch? I thought a deal would’ve been announced much earlier this week...

This was this past Monday... was there other intel that it was going to be definitively announced today?

 

[Storrs South]

This was on Monday... was there other intel that it was going to be definitively announced today?

No, just everyone being impatient.

Ah, well nevertheless! My fear of a Friday afternoon news dump persists

It's amazing how conditioned we are after the last few years for the sky to fall in damn every situation. It's almost universal on the board. There was a time when most of us expected things to work out more often than not (and they did).

And there's been a lot of bumps in the road.

We are doomed, it is what it is.
