Also, the AAC fans been soooooooooooooo nasty and have a pipedream of adding a Western wing that includes the Zags. Love to stick it to them and that putz, Aresco, again.

What would this mean for the members already in? Would that mean substantially more money, or would it be a wash given that you'd have to split it with another member?

As for your point about VCU, I'm higher on them than most here, but let's get real uconn's ceiling is infinitely higher than VCU's.

There's been reports that should the conference expand to 12 teams, the Fox deal would go from 500M to 600M so there's no change in payments to anyone. I'm sure it's a little more complicated than that, but that's the simplified version. These things are easily amended with changing circumstances, so I wouldn't expect it to be something set in stone. We'll just have to wait and see what's in the store.
