WAC signs ESPN deal extension through 2016 season
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=3569332
Not enough info here to really mean anything. But I'm sure it's better than having no TV deal, and possibly better than having a really crappy deal with a network no one has heard of. |

Last week the SEC signed a $3.03 billion deal with ESPN and CBS for the next 15 years. That averages out to $17 million per team per year. Yes folks even Ole Miss will receive $17 million every year.
Hey but make a BCS bowl and you'll get about $1 million. Any word on whether the WAC's deal with ESPN is in the b-b-b-b-billion range? |

The trick is to grow the population in Utah and the West. And then we will have big contracts. |
