Urm FYI, if you do not actually implement a name after 6 months to a year.(Not sure but, there is a time limit), you lose the patent rights to it.

Patents mean nothing.  To know their true intent we should look up who owns Big14.com, Big14.net, Big14.tv, etc.

So I looked it up. Not owned by the conference.

You'll note that, I never said they did.

Never said you did. The, "The patents mean nothing" remark was just a haha.  I just figured if they had any intent that they would have purchased the site names ahead of time.

This article made it seem like if you're not in a power 5, you're worthless. But tell me, how many times in a New Years 6 bowl has a 'Power 5' team beaten the G5 Champion? 0. The 'G5', AKA the AAC + Boise, is 3-0 in these games. And I don't see the streak ending any time soon. Because the fact is that the gap is not as wide as the media will have you believe. Time will tell. I think the AAC is just fine where it is, but I would suggest taking an aggressive stance on getting Boise and SDSU back on board, and dropping some of the dead weight (Tulane, SMU). If geography is too big of an issue, then add the next best team outside of SDSU, but getting Boise is a must.

Not worthless, just $30 million to $3 million difference.

The bad TV deal came because no one knew what this conference was going to be, it was unstable, and unknown how good the teams would be. Talks are that the next deal might be renegotiated early, and numbers are looking to be around 7 mil. Still not 30, but another fantastic year could push us into the double digits

7 million would be a bargain

Considering that the MWC is at 2 Mill per team, I will take it. The AAC will officially be in a league of its own when compared to the rest of the G4

Boise, Air Force, CSU, and SDSU.
