Message: [QUOTE="JeepCSC, post: 1850805, member: 3214"] ESPN looks at it by conference. They have to since that is what they pay for. It's not UConn being worth more than Wake Forest, it's the ACC being worth more than the AAC. UConn women get shown 18 times, Wake Forest men get shown 0. If that was the end of the story, you could say aha! But the fact is Louisville-Clemson got nearly 10 million viewers, and that is what Wake is being paid for. Now there is truth in the fact that UConn is underpaid relative to their worth. But again, that is because you are subsidizing the rest of the AAC. Wake has nothing to do with it. Interestingly, the old Big XII used to pay television appearance fees, it's a quick way to make conference mates unhappy. [/QUOTE]
