UH AD Mack Rhoades made a presentation to the UH Student Fee Advisory Committee yesterday.

In 2012-13, Houston received $2.42M from CUSA.

In 2013-14, the Houston budget projects a $4.65M distribution from the American Conference.

Is some of this due to the exit fees from when the other schools bailed on the New Big East/AAC as the AAC TV contract is worth around $2million per school per year I believe.

They sold our entire stadium in season tickets alone (32,000 tickets sold)

Yeah. The legacy BE schools got more from the war chest though

First of all, the comparison to TCU is moot - we are not in the B12, so why even bring it up? Hopefully we get to P5 someday or AAC gets a better deal - but this is our reality right now.

Bottom line --- We get about $2M better than what we got in CUSA, although I have no idea if that includes the exit fees from the departing schools ( I assume it does) or the BCS/bowl money estimates. Rutgers is fighting their fee (they will lose), and with the Maryland - ACC lawsuit going on, I am not sure if/when Louisville would pay their fee either. That would bring more money into the AAC coffers.

The estimates from our Big East entry were originally anywhere from $7-10M in TV money alone. Now it seems that number will end up at around $4M for this year. And again, I do not know if this includes BCS payout.

So, a small step up from CUSA. But in the P5 landscape, yes our money is laughable (as FTHP pointed out). We are the tallest midgets.

If SMU continues to rise in basketball, Houston has a steady climb, and UCONN/Memphis/Cincinnati/Temple maintain themselves then we will likely maintain if not surpass that amount in TV revenue the next time we sign a deal. Hopefully, UCF and Houston can consistently achieve the success they are having in football this season and SMU/Cincinnati/USF improve dramatically to add to that first tier while UCONN/Temple/Memphis rise enough to become respectable programs.

AAC would still be the 6th best conference, in other words take back the spot Big East had. The TV deal will be significantly larger (maybe get close to $8-10million per school). Problem is, lots of the schools are at the bottom of the totem pole in their respective markets/areas, which is why I don't see a BCS berth or lots of money a la Big 12 style in the AAC, EVER.

SMU and Houston are overshadowed by other Texas teams in other conferences (SEC, Big 12)
UCF and USF are overshadowed by Florida State, Florida, Miami
Cincinnati by Ohio State and regional schools like Notre Dame and Michigan
Memphis has Tennessee in the SEC
Tulsa....OU, OK State
East Carolina....NC Tar heels, NC State, SC Gamecocks
Temple...okay they have Philly but still Penn State takes lion's share

They will be at the bottom of the food chain in terms of TV exposure, even if we had SMU, Houston, UCF, Cincy, USF in the Top 25 AP polls...those other schools are simply the rulers and I find it hard that the NCAA will let the conference have a spot in the automatic berths. Funny how Notre Dame has one and the AAC won't ...

That is probably not including the money from the BCS bowl game that will be split amongst the conference teams.

Let's wait until the end of the season. UH will probably lose to Louisville on Saturday and hopefully will lose to us at the end of the month, they might finish much higher than us in conference, if they even do that.

I wonder if this includes the NCAA Tournament credits for basketball

Yep, the TV deal is for Basketball/Football. I'm guessing it's as "high" as it is because of basketball...

With my amazing prognostication talents, I predict a BCS bowl for the AAC this season. But after that, you're probably right, we won't get a BCS spot ever again. In fact, I would say there's a 100% chance.

Now Stealth, are you saying this because after this year, the BCS won't exist anymore? Now that wouldn't make any sense, now would it?

Sorry, just pointing out the obvious for everyone else
