The AAC will get a new TV deal down the road and it will be equal to or greater than the current one. The AAC has performed well, and has actually be more valuable than what the TV deal is. Even with losing a few schools, I think the expanded markets and some good products are going to be of value. And potentially losing SMU might even help if the AAC can go grab a few MWC schools.
Even if that doesn't happen, I think once the new schools are transitioned in and the viewing numbers remain fairly strong that the next deal will get a bump for all involved.
I believe the new schools next year get a 50% share as those six schools are essentially splitting what was allotted to the three departing schools, so they'll get about $3.5M, which is a greater number than what Wichita gets as a non football member.
