Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2461849, member: 1526"] Well stated, Carl. Also, in another thread on the football board, UConnDan97 pointed out that the difference between our current AAC revenue and a Big East share is about a million a year, which we made up and then some by getting 1.2 for playing the BS College game at Fenway Park. There's no reason we can't do an away only payday game just about every season. He also pointed out that our TV package is far superior to what the NBE currently has. The ratings on FOX for the Big East games have sucked. They routinely get beaten out by stuff like women's BB games on other channels in the same time slots. Nobody is watching Big East basketball. It's a bunch of small schools with small alumni numbers that do not generate any national following. We at least still get a fair number of games on the ESPN channels, combined with CBSSN. We do need our Tier 3 rights so we can get what we can from the SNY deal. [/QUOTE]
