Clue word: Could. Not necessarily âWouldâ or âWillââŠ
Why not? They have the upper hand here. It would make sense to demand some concessions from AAC e.g. a GoR in return for keep the monetary value of deal unchanged.
Do you want UH to be locked down so we canât move when the opportunity come?? I donât. But we should get paid for what we as a collective group has done for the AAC.
No GOR, weâve got to get in a P5, Khator is smarter than that!
If they try to renegotiate, I wonder what leverage AAC has of going elsewhere. Since the rights never hit the open market in the first place.
This isnât news. We all knew this and have been talking about it here. Indications are that it will not be significantly renegotiated.

I think there may be a quick renegotiation that says âYour conference is offering us 8% fewer games so we want an 8% reduction in payoutâ⊠leaving each team making about as much as it did before*. But I donât think our conference is significantly less valuable than it was before, so our own payout should be about the same. The only thing that has changed is the reduction in inventory.

- Which is why Iâm not all that confident âLetâs just not expand and each team gets to keep more moneyâ is an option.
If UConn didnâf]t bring anything to the table, it should not change when they leave. Womens basketball excluded. How they had they highest generated revenue of any AAC team is astounding.
Are you kidding? GoR for losing UCONN football? Nah. They might try and Aresco may do it, but it doesnât make sense.
The AAC should go hard for BYUâŠthen yesâŠrenegotiate the contract. It would be a huge LOL IMHOâŠ
Most likely the renegotiation is that ESPN is not going to divvy UConnâs share among the remaining schools. There is a âconference constitution clauseâ, most likely to renegotiate for school movement. UConnâs move was an anticipated possibility, but really that clause is in place for the mid-2020âs for the possibility of the schools considered more valuable moving to P5 conferences.
Thanks, this is what I was trying to say above but was having a weird amount of trouble articulating. Itâs pretty reasonable for ESPN to say less money for less content and as if the teams arenât losing money theyâll probably agree pretty quickly.
I doubt anyone wants to re-start negotiations from scratch, so quickly after having hammered everything out.
Makes sense but even more of a travesty that the big 12 ended up splitting 14 shares, 10 ways.
It was what, a 2-3mil bump not to expand? I donât think theyâre splitting 14 shares 10 ways, otherwise theyâd be the top paid conferenceâŠthat would be an extra 16mil per year
I meant back when aTM et al left, the payout to the conference remained the same.
Even more unworthy was being paid not to expand.
Well played big 12. Too bad deloss wasnât our ad when he applied.
I think heâs referring to the fact that they have twice been paid not to expand. So 10+2+2.
The first time was when they went from 12 to 10. They got more money at that point because they were already mid-way through a contract and their value had exceeded what they were being paid. Imagine if UConn had left two years ago. ESPN would not have renegotiated because we were worth way more than $22/m a year. But right now we are worth close to the contract that we signed. Our teams are not worth over $7m a piece (on average) because if they were we would have gotten that when we signed the contract two months ago.
Ah gotcha
I would say that there is MORE content since UConn left
Quality content.
ESPN is benefiting more because UCONN left since they wonât have to waste air time on a football team nobody wants to see. Maybe we should demand more money.
