[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 131799820, member: 1112294"] The American Athletic Conference and ESPN have agreed to a [B]12-year, $1 billion media rights[/B] deal beginning in the 2020-21 season, according to Sports Business Journal. The deal will pay each school $6.94 million annually, which is about $5 million more than they were making under the previous deal. Just because it says a billion doesn't mean you're making money.
