First TCU's TV ratings and community support have been pretty damn good
Second, OU, UT, OSU, Tech, West Virginia etc.

“Two-thirds of the schools are Conference USA, the Mountain West and independents,” said an industry source, “that were valued at pennies on the dollar [in terms of TV]. They went to the Big East. What changed?”

CUSA schools entering the Big East: SMU, UofH, UCF, Memphis

MWC schools entering the Big East: Boise, SDSU

Temple from the A10/MAC

Naval Academy: Independent

So that will make up 8 schools in a 13 team football conference, and let's be honest football is all that matters in contract negotiations. Having a 20 team basketball league does nothing for you when it comes to TV money.

So he is technically off because it's not 8 out of 13 isn't 2/3, but 8.66667 is 2/3 of the league.... And yes they weren't valued when in their current conferences so what has changed?

He did not say MAC schools in his quote so don't count that. But since you guys lost RG3 you will see the bottom of the Big 12 for a while to come.

Just make sure your anuses are prepared Sept 2....... Briles has been recruiting top 30 classes the past couple of years and it will show on the field. And the fact that you are trying to defend your stance by taking one team out of the equation, still shows how weak the new members of the Big East are and how weak the Big East is as a conference.

ESPN will lowball the Big East because they feel they can and frankly I don't think they would mind cutting it loose. NBC on the other-hand would be idiotic NOT to at least match the previous ACC offer of $17M, no matter what they felt it was really worth. Why would you publicly de-value your own brand new asset, especially when it is taking hits? You buy like it's a big boy conference, push it like it's a big boy conference, promote it like it's a big boy conference and tell anyone with ears how lucky you feel to have a big boy conference on your network. With it's all-day programing and major market possibilities, it's basically the perfect starter kit for someone pointing their guns at ESPN. We'll get our money. You Bears and Blowhards can count on it.

I heard about the no drinking no dancing thing but was unaware of this going on in Waco

Have you seen their little glee wannabe show - "sing"? If so you would not be surprised they are fixated with anuses.

Stallion is right, not aresco. Aresco is wrong. Right......

Have been. Have been in the MWC. Nothing has changed.

So by your logic you were using earlier to discount SMU's value, TCU should keep making MWC money.

Come back when you understand what you are talking about

TCU's tv ratings are good when they play someone big - not so good otherwise.

I expect SMU to receive somewhere near $15 million annually in the new Big East.

In what way have I misrepresented your argument?

I'll let our performance on the field speak for itself...

Hopefully the other members of the nBe do the same and pull their weight, because I know SMU is headed in the right direction, I don't think theres any arguing that....

The rest I'll leave to Aresco who is the right man for the job.

I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if it's that much. What did we make in CUSA? 1 million/yeaR?

Does RG3 have one game of eligibility left or something? Have fun getting your asses handed to you, and then having to go out in effing Waco afterwards.

Have you seen our embarrassingly pathetic version, "sing song"?

Probably not, because it sucks. Baylor sing is decent, at least.
