Oh I am sure they are. It's making good money for the conference from
what I understand.

Yes. Wait for another year where it generates more consistent cable network
coverage and then gets consistent ratings, the advertising rates will be

Florida, who gets all the perqs of a conference, but has their own TV
network.
