Thoughts?
Hope itâs true:
Hereâs the full audio from his interview;:

Brief Recap of the interview if you canât listen:
I have 0 confidence on his ability to work a good TV deal. Put Mrs. Khator in charge of the negotiations and my confidence goes way, way up.
As for the College Football Pretend Championship, yâall know where I stand.
I believe Dr Khator is taking a leadership role in the negotiations:
Quick google to verify. If anyone else has further insight, that would be cool
aresco has no credibility & he needs to go.Yesterday he âput downâ his own conference and downplayed UCF accomplishments. This week he is saying the opposite. The AAC needs to find a new leader that has the best interest of the AAC. He demonstrated without a doubt that he is a lackey of the P5âs and espn.
Before we throw the baby out with the bath water letâs see what Aresco gets for our next tv contract. He needs to keep us in th 10-15 million range.
I am sorry but when our own commissioner comes out the way he did a few months ago this is telling me we need new leadership. It is easy to proclaim that we are a P6 when you say the exact opposite.
Frankly it does not matter. Our aim is to re-join a P5. Anything else is detrimental to our future. We canât sustain the expenses that we are incurring. How much are we relying on Mr. Fertitta? How many multiple major economical figures do we have? I do believe that this would help us gain access into a P5. I have no clues how involved the following figures areâŠapart from John Moores.
Randa Williams, $5.5Bl worth and the following:
I have all the confidence in Chris Pezman, Mr. Fertitta and Mrs. Khator to lead us to the next level. IMO, It would be very beneficial if we could hear from others.
In regards to Mr Aresco, it must be noted that he is a representative of the school presidents. We would not be in this current TV deal if the presidents had opposed it. His job is to do their will.
If you donât like the TV contract, the schools in the conference, or our position in the conference - donât look at Mike Aresco - look at the presidents.
We will have a much better contract this time around. The AAC is proving to be a pretty decent draw and it is willing to take non traditional time slots.
You are right that he represents the AAC Presidents. At the same time how could they be happy with what he said a few months ago?
It might be why he walked back some of his initial comments.
Oh Aresco got credit not money? OKAY
Getting down to nuts and bolts weâre still a top heavy conference. Each year we have three teams assert themselves, a few fair to middlinâ, and three that suck bath water.
When our bottom four start having winning records and winning OOC we might get respect as a conference.
Unfortunately, youâre correct. Too much dead weight in the conference right now. Really need UCONN, Tulane, Tulsa, and ECU to at least gain some respectability. Tulane seems to be going in the right direction, just need the other three now. Also need SMU not to fall back into irrelevance.
Every conference not named the SEC is like that as well.
I get your point, but we need our poor teams to at least show some semblance of respectability. Going off the Orlando Sentinel Rankings of teams 100-129 in their rankings, it breaks down by conference:
CUSA - 5
Sun Belt - 5
MWC - 5
MAC - 4
American - 4
Pac 12 - 2
ACC - 1
B1G - 1
Big 12 - 1
SEC - 1
Independent - 1
It would be nice to get that number down to 2 or 3 prior to each season to show some separation between us and the other conferences. This is usually where we run into issues when it comes to arguing for a spot in the playoffs as our best teams are playing 2-4 teams on par with Kansas every season in conference.
Looks like this ranking was done based on being in a P5 or NOT being in a P5 !!
