VectorVictor Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 So total non-BTN TV package is 6 years and $2.64B? Doing some math, that equals about $31M/school/year before BTN? The B1G is looking at a per school payout of approx. $30.7m per year, and that's only with Fox and ESPN/ABC revenue accounted for--there's BTN revenue which the schools get 49% of (Fox gets the 51%), and there are bigger profit margins for broadcasting on the network which may add another $3-5m/school to the pot. Oh and don't forget bowl payout distributions, too. The SEC had a per school payout of approx. $31.2m for last year, which included all media revenue. In short, we're doing rather well for ourselves with this six year deal. And when the Big XII GOR is done in six years and the B1G can poach certain schools... The only things lacking in this deal are expanded exposure for non-revenue and summer sports (e.g. Baseball, Volleyball--see SEC Network and ESPN as an example of what the B1G should be doing with their network), and anything resembling online media (both the SEC--via ESPN--and the ACC have their own media streaming apps for their conferences on streaming devices). It's a great deal...but we're talking more along the lines of the difference between a B or a B+ instead of a solid A right now. Things could come out that show Delaney didn't forget about this that we're not privy to currently. 1 Quote Link to comment
