Espn Whacking Wac Tv $$$ For 2011

[MeanGreen61]

Continuing WAC members were recently given painful indication of the changes wrought by conference realignment when ESPN reportedly said it would cut rights fees for the 2011-12 season by more than 75 percent.

The WAC, which had been receiving about $4 million a year from ESPN, will get, maybe, $1 million in the wake of Boise State's departure, people in the industry say. UH, as an exiting member, will not share in the 2011-12 WAC disbursements.
