The American Athletic Conference made headlines back in March for their new 12 year, 1 billion dollar media deal with ESPN (just under 7 million per school per year). They got back in the headlines late last week with the announcement that UConn will be leaving the league in the near future to rejoin the Big East.
That gives us the chance to revisit the looming Mountain West Conference media deal, which is set to expire at the end of this athletic season and currently pays about 1.1 million dollars to schools not named Boise State and Hawaii.
