AAC Loses 45% of Football revenue (Thanks USF!)

[Boston.Knight]

The AAC saw its overall revenue decline from $27.9 million in 2013, the final year of the BCS, to $15.2 million in 2014, the inaugural year of the College Football Playoff.

Well we all knew this would happen. New contract and out of the Big Boy conferences. Just sucks we have numbers to show how bad we got screwed.

The only justice is that they Genshafted themselves in the process.

They won't even have a football program in 5 years. You'll see.

We got bumped again.....I don't want to put together a list of how many times UCF has gotten the shaft over the years which includes non-acceptance into a P-5, or a P-5 breaks up just as we get in, or we miss out on a bowl game, ....that's the negative side. :-(

Anyone think we should've accepted the football-only invite to C-USA back in the day when we were still independent? Seems like a mistake to have not done that because we were trying to keep all our sports in the same conference, only to later except a football only invite to the MAC which was a much lesser conference than C-USA at the time and a horrible fit geographically. Also don't forget 0-11. :-(

I think had UCF gone football-only to C-USA when they had the chance then UCF would've been added over USF (or maybe together) to the Big East in 2005. Imagine what growth could've happened in the Big East from 2005-2012 following several years in C-USA before that. Staying independent and then joining the MAC just stalled the program for several yrs. Not to mention how the basketball program could've grown from C-USA 1.0 experience (though would've been a bottom dweller for several yrs, similar to basketball's growing pains in the AAC now). I think not taking the football-only invite to C-USA when it was on the table was one of the biggest mistakes in program history.
