In their lazily produced take on Tulane after winning the Cure ESPN offers that senior McMillan must be replaced next season.
The ESPN hate of us and the AAC is exceeded only by the incompetent reporting by their staff....

Same article called us #2 in the state and actually insinuated that we shouldn't let a team like Louisana come close.

I can’t wait for the day that the AAC gets a big television contract with Fox, NBC, Netflix, or Amazon so that we can tell ESPN to go to hell. It would be a glorious day. Besides making a lot of money off of the AAC because they pay us peanuts ESPN treats us like their red headed stepchild.

As long as all our games continue free and available to view. Including basketball conference games.

We might get significantly more money from the next TV deal, but I don't think it's going to be F.U. ESPN money. And whatever media entity signs the AAC, you can be sure they're going to dictate game times, dates, matchups, etc.

We have a whole other thread about this, the mods should merge the two.
