B10 gets massive payout

[KCBuc]

I saw this article at sportsdailybusiness.com. This has to help NU. Makes the move out of the Big 12 so much more sweeter. Time to pay the coaches too. I also like that more games are going to Fox. Less of Beth Mowen is ALWAYS a good thing.

 

The six-year, $2.64 billion media rights haul represents a big win for the Big Ten Conference, of course, which will see its average media rights payout nearly triple when it takes effect next fall.

Before each season, the networks will pick the weeks where they get first choice of games. Fox will have the first pick every year; ESPN will have the second; Fox will have the third, and so on.

 

ESPN will carry Big Ten football games on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2. ESPNU will see far fewer Big Ten games than it has in the past.

Wish we had this in place for this year, then Oregon would have been a night game.

ESPN will buy the second half of the Big Ten’s media rights package, ending months of speculation that the two were about to sever their 50-year relationship.

 

 

We need a fact checker here.

So total non-BTN TV package is 6 years and $2.64B? Doing some math, that equals about $31M/school/year before BTN?

Yeah, they mention down further that it was ABC/ESPN. Lazy writing.

How do you figure? Fox is putting on OSU @ Oklahoma at night. I don't think anything would have changed. We may have been 2:30 on Fox instead.

I forgot that was a Fox game. Might have gotten priority though since the B1G is now their baby, and it's a B1G home game.

But let's squabble over whether it make sense to give players an adequate COL stipend....

 

Between concussions and this relentless monetization of what is supposed to be an amateur endeavor, I don't see football lasting too much longer.
