My memory sometimes fails me. What is "radio"? I have vague memories of some gadget on the dashboard of a car that blared music. If it still exists does anyone really listen to radio?

MAC's ESPN deal looks even smarter today than it did in 2014 The MAC, meanwhile, went from getting about $1 million a year in its previous ESPN deal, which was set to expire in 2017, to reeling in well over $100 million in the new 13-year agreement. The final 10 years of the deal (2017-27) reportedly are worth about $10 million per year. Contrast that with Conference USA, which might be seeing its annual rights haul getting cut from $14 million-plus to about $2 million. Timing really is everything. We emailed a MAC source Tuesday and asked if the person felt even better about the ESPN deal after reading the SBJ story. The reply was simple, and telling: “You would be correct.”

Awesome! Just in time for our Fiesta Bowl game!
