Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4658587, member: 71"] What was Whichita State's share of revenue from the AAC and how did that compare with what BE schools were receiving from the BE's contract? The point is that claiming the AAC had a better initial TV deal by adding in money used to buy the name and then comparing conference broadcast revenue when the contract includes football with conference broadcast revenue with a contract that is not paying for football is out and out ridiculous. 1 - at best, the two initial deals were substantially similar (although I do remember reading the breakaway BE claiming they were getting more revenue from Fox than the would have received if the conference continued and they were part of the deal the AAC signed). 2 - a lot of the same people who claimed KO sunk the program are also claiming the AAC sunk the program. Pick a stance and stay with it. (My opinion is that we would have been fine in men's basketball if KO didn't drop the ball but a rebuild would have taken a bit longer in tha AAC). 3 - if Aresco didn't think there was nothing wrong with taking our tier three rights and using that revenue to claim he brokered a great deal (while screwing us for the benefit of the remainder of that conference) we would still be in the AAC today. If you want to make believe that getting 25 cents on the dollar just so we can play Creighton instead of Kansas and DePaul instead of Baylor you have that right. I have the right to look at things from a different perspective,one that cares about the university as a whole, not merely whether we get a home and ho e with Setin Hall, St John's or PC. [/QUOTE]
