This argument doesn't hold water when the majority of AAC basketball games shown on ESPN or ESPN2 feature some combination of UConn.

[USER=38]@Fishy[/USER] is right on the money here.

Here are the 2015-16 AAC conference games on ESPN or ESPN2. Notice a pattern?

Temple at Cincinnati, ESPN2
SMU at Tulsa, ESPN2
Memphis at [B]Connecticut[/B], ESPN2
[B]Connecticut [/B]at Tulsa, ESPN
Cincinnati at [B]Connecticut[/B], ESPN
[B]Connecticut [/B]at Memphis, ESPN2
[B]Connecticut [/B]at Temple, ESPN
Tulsa at [B]Connecticut[/B], ESPN2
SMU at [B]Connecticut[/B], ESPN
[B]Connecticut [/B]at Cincinnati, ESPN/2
[B]Connecticut [/B]at SMU, ESPN

I mean this is comically transparent here. Of all the American conference games featured on ESPN or ESPN2 last season, 9 of the 11 featured UConn.

This doesn't even count the three OOC games we had on ESPN/2 (Maryland, Cuse and Texas) and the two national games we played on CBS (Ohio State and Georgetown).

We are criminally underpaid for the value we are bringing to that network.
