What?


Are you calling the Big East a tier II conference? Is that because nobody plays football because on the court they are having a better season (according to RPI rankings) than the ACC.
We were an outlier in the AAC in terms of distance from most schools. Travel costs were high and the next TV contract was pitiful in terms of TV versus online and payout and was going to require us to build out production capabilities, further cutting into our revenue. Financially we expect to do better in the Big East, though a TV contract for football is still outstanding. Basketball fans are looking forward to meaningful matchups and our football schedule is generating more interest than before. I really don't see a negative regarding this move for us outside of a bowl affiliation (which as you know isn't an issue right now or for the last 10 years) and that the AAC is a better baseball conference.
