Re: Aresco Q&A
I like Mike Aresco. He has been working hard to make lemonade, when he walk into a lemon of a situation. The perfect storm for the BE. The American is lucky to have a guy, who understands the media, revenue sources and is thinking about building value, when many would have punted or struggled. Good answer here:
Q: The money from the contract wasn't great; the exposure you're getting, however, is. You have to make it work for you, right, and win big nonconference games?
A: I don't think people have focused enough on how good the exposure is that they're giving us in football and basketball. For instance in basketball, I think it's 113 games of the 170 games in 2014 will be on national ESPN platforms or a few of them sub-licensed to national platforms. In addition, we're going to do our tournament. All the games will be televised. These are great deals for exposure and that is how you build your conference. In football we'll have Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We are unique in terms of doing a lot of Thursdays and Fridays, but we think since every team isn't asked to do it all the time, it works well for us. We'll do an occasional Wednesday.

The increased exposure should help the CUSA move up schools as its simply a more visible model the the last two deals you guys were subjected to.

Re: Aresco Q&A
Anyone else a little concerned with his comments about the existing members (USF, Cincy, UConn) being well taken care of financially in comparison to the new members? I hope we have a good split on the revenue from the Catholic 7 leaving the conference. I want to say that most estimates have us getting revenue in the 3-4M a season area.
Back off Warchild seriously.
Re: Aresco Q&A
I read somewhere, but can't find it, that the 3 old schools would get about $20m each.

Aresco's statement on the division of the money is at the end of this article.
