Their last TV contract went way down
From a IIRC total of about $14M per year to the conference to $2M a year to the conference. About the same as the Sun Belt.
This really shows how hard it is for the AAC, MWC, MAC, C-USA, and SBC to compete against the P5 conferences when they come calling. You know that Temple, SMU, USF, Tulane, and Memphis will leave a vapor trail if they ever get an invite from a P5 conference.
And, IIRC, UConn and Liberty get more TV money from just football by being an independent than the members of the MAC, SBC, and C-USA members get for all of their sports. I also believe that UConn gets more money being a member of the Big East for all other sports than the members of the AAC get.
