DePaul, the worst team in the Big East, was ranked #99 in the country by KenPom.com for the 2017-18 season.

7 of the 12 teams in the AAC ranked even lower: Tulsa (110), UCF (111), Memphis (161), Tulane (171), UConn (179), South Florida (279) and East Carolina (307). It's true that Cincy, Houston and Wichita State are legit programs. But the overall level of competition is a big step down from the Pac 12, which had just 4 sub-100 ranked teams.

It's fair to say that the AAC is struggling to keep up with the top conferences in college basketball.

AAC will be getting an enhanced media their next contract. Their Football conference has worked out reasonably well .  Two of the teams that are after thoughts in basketball, UCF and USF are attractive in terms of football ratings. ESPN puts their games on the main ABC network. The ACC is expected to get around $10 million per team annually versus the $2. 1 million they are presently getting . That is clearly much less than Big 12<ACC and others who are in the 20-30 million range. The Big East is getting $4 millionish  per team per year.

Call me when the AAC is getting $10 million a year per team.....LOL.....

5 to 8 maybe because of football.....Smoking something if you think $10.....

All I know for sure.....FOX is loving their Big East deal with the most enjoyable to watch league in the country and making bank......There is a reason ESPN has had to lay off 20% of their company with such "hard to watch" "BIG confernence teams" including half of the ACC.....95% of the games in the Big East are enjoyable to watch......

There is also a reason why the ACC and BIG whatever are trying to have their tourney championship in NYC and not in a hayfield or some home game advantaged place for the 2-team ACC.....

Watch and see .....and explain.....why ESPN will try and up the ante and take the Big East away from Fox when the contract is up.....I hope we take less and "F" the pompous A$$es headquartered in "you know"....CT.......

That's what a Jesuit education teaches you......Loyalty....Discipline.....Truth......CT as a university and as a network sports company have none of these!

The Big East made a great initial deal and is going to do well when the contract comes up for renewal.  The League will have a track record both in terms of on court success and eyeballs. So there should be multiple bidders who can bid on something real not hypothetical . Who knows, the league may get lucky and see some success from DePaul and St Johns the next five years which could be very helpful come contract time.

To be fair the ACC isn't exactly a two team league anymore. I used to refer to it like that as well but let's call a spade a spade

To be fair the ACC has NEVER been a 2 team league.
