That is not much at all.

Think about it. Other than a part of the Denver market what major market do they have? Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Air Force (the smallest division of our armed forces), Fresno State, San Jose State, Wyoming? What is there. Now if SDS, SMU, UH, BYU and Boise came in they'd be able to cut a better deal.

This deal was signed 7(?) years ago, when they had SDSU, BYU, Utah, and TCU. It's not going to get much bigger.

Coast Guard is the smallest armed force.

They're no fuc*ing TV sets in Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. Look east or get into a better conference.

TV contract was negotiated 7 years ago. How much would they make if they renegotiated today? How much would a "Best of Big East, MWC, and CUSA" make? Something that looks like this:

West
Boise State
SDSU
Fresno State
UNLV
New Mexico
Air Force
UTEP

East
SMU
Houston
Tulsa
UCF
USF
Memphis
East Carolina/Southern Miss

Wow 8 mil. Obviously a great disparity between AQ and non. Hopefully the big east can get at least 100 mil as a total conference... Do I think that will happen, NO. Only hope is Aresco convinces CBS, ESPN, Fox and some other network to make a package that doesn't take much out of theirs but gives us the most revenue possible. Now obviously Espn will most likely kill us before making a deal with a bunch of networks however they have done everything they can and as much as we are bleeding out the nose and lost limbs we are still standing for now.
