AAC 2014 BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

[pc1971]

Was looking at Temple's Schedule in the paper today and noted that the Tourney will be in Memphis

Sure the UCONN fans are going to love that !!!

YIKES!!!!!

Yeah-I love to look at the Boneyard from time to time. Only the real fans really admit what a messed up league that is. After UL leaves it will be a total crap league. Going to make it tough to recruit for Ollie unless they find a new home.

By the looks of average attendance figures (5-years) at AAC Schools, they might want to book a High School Gym in the Memphis area for their tournment

Based upon these figures:

Ave. 5-Yr Attendance at BE Home Games: 9,998
Ave. 5-Yr Attendance at AAC Home Games (net of Louisville): 6,427

Ave. BE Attendances have been 56% greater than those of the AAC

does the aac have a tv contract with espn?

[wtm97]

Yes.

It is an "ok" media deal - think it is for both football and hoops and has since been expanded out to other affiliated carriers. While much less than the basketball only deal the new Big East got from the new FOX gambol, it is incentive laden and gives them the proverbial track to run on.
