Message: [QUOTE="06029, post: 1816304, member: 1548"] In any conference you will have "dead weight" or else everyone will .500 which is called mediocrity. Every school in the AAC fills a partial need. That the conference could not generate any significant TV revenue was a function of lack of seasoning and success by any of its teams when formed. Houston has it this year. Last year it was Temple and Houston (and how did Temple fall back so quickly?). Uconn can not afford to start a new conference if there is no Big 12 invite and Houston plus 1 leave. The BE break up and conference exit fees help soften the start up costs of this one. Become the big dog of the AAC in FB like UConn is in BB and help write the next media deal to Uconn's advantage. Or as Pudge would say, use arbitrage to capitalize and monetize the disintermediation that will be evident when the next media rights deal is negotiated. [/QUOTE]
