I think we are all going to be shocked by how much money the Big East gets. This is the last chance for the television networks to secure quality football programming until the next round of contract renewals. Expect a bidding war with the winner proclaiming they just got a bargain in today’s market which will be true compared to what the SEC, Big 10 or Big 12 will want when their contracts expires next.

which has basically become the new, acknowledged floor, so up about a mil from what SDSU was told was the bottom 10 months ago (that was supposed to be 6.7 mil min. according to analysts). So, I think for the low end, play it safe guys like andre, you guys can start saying 7.7 - 10 mil instead of 6-8m

I liked Full Monty's analysis. His assumptions were sound and he laid out credible calculations instead of just relying on his gut.
All the published reports I've seen strongly indicate that the original $6.4MM number will be low, including this in Wilner's article: "The additions of Boise State and San Diego State are appealing to the networks because the conference now has access to all four times zones."
But that will hold true only if we're good. So as bizarre as it sounds when you're talking about SDSU football, I think a lot of people back East are now actually counting on us to win ASAP. Soon Aresco will probably tour the conference to check out the campuses and introduce himself to the presidents and ADs, and when he gets here I think he'll say something like, "Look, I need you guys to win right away. You and Boise are the anchors to our all-day TV strategy. I know I can count on BSU to be in the top 25 on a regular basis. I need you to do the same."
And the hell of it is, with the money it looks like we'll be getting, we can give him what he wants.

He has said as much at his introduction, on all Paul Fienbaum, with yahoo, etc. We have expectations because I'm sure we've sold those expectations.

I think if you spent some time on the BE board you would be as surprised as I've been about what some easterners think of SDSU. I started a thread on the general college sports forum because I didn't know where else to put it and given the lack of responses, I doubt many saw it. However, I commented how annoying that BE board can be and among the reasons is that almost without exception, fans of UCF and USF seem to view SDSU as completely useless to the BE. It's a very CUSA-centric philosophy, as if CUSA has been some great conference over the years. I haven't seen that at all from Houston fans or Memphis fans - and SMU doesn't seem to have any fans - nor from fans of any current BE school other than Cincinnati, but I actually think the UCF and USF fans would like to see us lose big time so they can say I told you so about SDSU getting admitted in the first place.

UCF is very butthurt that they thought they were in regardless of whatever happened, and then they had to wait months for Boise and SDSU to tie up loose ends; I don't think it helps their egos that Commissioner Unesco doesn't mention them, at all, and mentions Boise and SDSU and Houston as what's gone well for the Big Least in expansurbation.

It is no surprise that BE fans don't think too highly of SDSU. Let's face it, we are still a no name in football with very little history. It has been only a couple years that we started to be more competitive. No one in the East knows about the Glory Years that were decades ago. Barely any of them remember where Marshal Faulk came from.

Big money coming our way. The Big East was a good move for the Aztecs.
