the American a better league than the Sunbelt moving forward? I'm assuming their current TV contract is better.



It is but not by that much IMO. Like someone said, it's a conference that gets poached by the Power 5. Hasn't really made waves since SMU and UCF left and Tulane started sucking again.

TV is probably better. ULL has been one of the better programs in the Sun Belt the last decade and they might make it on ESPN twice a year, 3 if they play a Thursday night game.

Is JMU considered the DC/NOVA TV market?

At the end of the day, if you are not BIG10 or SEC, you are going to have to rethink your college athletics business model. That includes the ACC and Big12.

It is really the Power 2, the Mid 2 and the Group of 6. And unless you are in the Power 2, you need to be asking some serious questions about working together.

At the end of the day, the SEC and BIG10 will break away from everyone else, make tons of money and be the NBA, MLB and NFL feeder league….and good for those schools.
