So... About that new B1G TV deal... How big was it going to be again?
Doug @NebGradDubDub 5h5 hours ago
@theDudeofWV it's going to be ground breaking in how it's construed. That will decrease the upfront monetary value initially. Still 35 mill+
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 5h5 hours ago
@NebGradDubDub Technically the B1G will get more than the SEC but only because the SEC was one of the first to redo theirs.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 5h5 hours ago
@NebGradDubDub The deep analytics hurt the B1G.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 5h5 hours ago
@NebGradDubDub Just like the ACC there's a cluster of schools with great ratings but then the bottom drops out. Maybe hockey can save it?

@theDudeofWV The Big Ten is making more from the BTN right now than theyate onthe T1 rights
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV
@Expansion_Crush What? That's not accurate. Do you know what T1 rights are and what BTN makes?
Hawkeye @hawkeyeND 4h4 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @Expansion_Crush new B1G tv deal will be richest in college football. All other conferences will be light years behind B1G/SEC
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 4h4 hours ago
@hawkeyeND @Expansion_Crush Everybody leapfrogs everyone when they redo their contract. But you are off base.
Hawkeye @hawkeyeND 2h2 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @Expansion_Crush each B1G school will receive $50M or more than every non-sec school over the life of the deal.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 2h2 hours ago
@hawkeyeND @Expansion_Crush Do you realize what B1G revenues from their deal would have to be for that to be true?
Hawkeye @hawkeyeND 1h1 hour ago
@theDudeofWV @Expansion_Crush means an extra $700m over 10 years divided by 14 schools. That's nothing. B1G will double their current deal
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 1h1 hour ago
@hawkeyeND @Expansion_Crush That's crazy. Just crazy. Justify it. You can't. 10-15% increase just like everyone else.

@hawkeyeND @Expansion_Crush Not happening. You guys are going to be very, very disappointed.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 1h1 hour ago
@hawkeyeND @Expansion_Crush Yes. I bet you it's 10-15% more than what it is now.

That about covers it, I think.
Think about how this could be applied to say, real world reporting.
Paul Ryan to be nominated at the GOP convention if Trump doesn't get 1237 delegates? I'm not saying it's happening but I'm also not saying it isn't being discussed.
Peace treaty and normalized relations between Israel and Iran? I'm not saying it's happening but I'm also not saying it isn't being discussed.
Elon Musk to build a hyperdrive spaceship that can travel to Alpha Centauri in under a week? I'm not saying it's happening but I'm also not saying it isn't being discussed.

@Expansion_Crush ND is not AAU by choice. The B1G passed on FSU once before because of AAU status. I didn't think Delaney was that stupid.

@theDudeofWV it's going to be ground breaking in how it's construed. That will decrease the upfront monetary value initially. Still 35 mill+

@theDudeofWV actually, deep analytics are helping it. Very educated wealthy alumni in comparison to the south which is the opposite

@theDudeofWV advertising on a x-y axis 101. It makes SEC and B10 virtually even to advertisers and networks.

@theDudeofWV the B10 is the only conference that doesn't "need" ESPN. It's the ND of conferences.

Homer@homerdance
@frankthetank111 so is the continued narrative from ESPN that the B1G is weak a sign of new network partners?
Frank the Tank @frankthetank111 Apr 7
Frank the Tank Retweeted Homer
Disagree w/ ESPN narrative, and even then, on-air commentary is irrelevant re: TV rights. (See Clay Travis on Fox.)
Frank the Tank @frankthetank111 Apr 7
Frank the Tank Retweeted Homer
Would still guess ESPN and Fox will end up splitting most of Big Ten rights. ESPN exposure still matters to B1G.
Ralph D. Russo @ralphDrussoAP Apr 7
@frankthetank111 NFL model for Big Ten if it can pull it off. Multiple partners. Multiple packages. Hello Thursday night B1G football.
Brett McMurphyVerified account@McMurphyESPN
Source told @ESPN conferences that voted against satellite camps: ACC, Big 12, SEC, Pac-12, MWC, Sun Belt. In favor: B1G, AAC, C-USA, MAC
Frank the Tank @frankthetank111 Apr 8
Frank the Tank Retweeted Brett McMurphy
Not a shocker. The conferences with more northern schools were hammered.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
The quiet Big 12... Is it the quiet of the lull just before a big storm hits? Or the quiet of backroom deals being made?
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
One thing is certain... The Big 12 is very interested in the rights model the Big Ten is trying to implement.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
But is the rights model the B1G is trying to sell one of opportunity or necessity? More opportunity for Big Ten but also more risk.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
Would the B1G & B12 be better off with the networks as distributors or as partners?
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 2h2 hours ago
The structure of the B1G's new deal could be the blueprint for the Big 12. But the Big 12 has always resisted change & been risk adverse?

@theDudeofWV What is ETA of decision or no decision?

@HabibHaddad Well, they could decide to wait & see how the B1G makes out. They can have a CCG with 10 & delay a network & expansion.

@theDudeofWV I'm with you. Sit back, watch, listen and wait for the right time. No rush.

@HabibHaddad My opinion is the B12 lacks a strong central leader with the conferences best interests so a partnership with the networks best
The Real Bob Mayhew @HabibHaddad 2h2 hours agoOld Romney, England
@theDudeofWV OL would have been much better than BB in that and other regards.

@HabibHaddad Yes. The discussions among B12 presidents has already begun.
The Real Bob Mayhew @HabibHaddad 2h2 hours agoOld Romney, England
@theDudeofWV Messrs. Boren, Gee and Starr are powerful figures whose opinions should be heard in that room. As you say, it's all about data.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 2h2 hours ago
@HabibHaddad I would rather wait a year & get it right. Even if that means a CCG with 10 once.

@theDudeofWV @HabibHaddad a championship game after a ten team round-robin is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of

@snoopdoug44 @HabibHaddad For one year? They know they have to expand. They can wait until they know the best model for a network.

@theDudeofWV @HabibHaddad only if there is a road to expansion. But last year OU and OSU would have played back to back games #Insane

@snoopdoug44 @theDudeofWV Think we all agree on that one, snoop.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 2h2 hours ago
@HabibHaddad @snoopdoug44 Because if the tentative B1G models looks like it works it may change expansion criteria for the B12.
The Real Bob Mayhew @HabibHaddad 2h2 hours agoOld Romney, England
@theDudeofWV @snoopdoug44 And time is on our side that way and possibly in the availability of future members.

@snoopdoug44 @HabibHaddad Gotta give Boren something. Amazing he's been so quiet. But he & Gee have won either way.

@frankthetank111 so is the continued narrative from ESPN that the B1G is weak a sign of new network partners?
Frank the Tank @frankthetank111 Apr 7

Disagree w/ ESPN narrative, and even then, on-air commentary is irrelevant re: TV rights. (See Clay Travis on Fox.)
Frank the Tank @frankthetank111 Apr 7
Frank the Tank Retweeted Homer
Would still guess ESPN and Fox will end up splitting most of Big Ten rights. ESPN exposure still matters to B1G.
Ralph D. Russo @ralphDrussoAP Apr 7
@frankthetank111 NFL model for Big Ten if it can pull it off. Multiple partners. Multiple packages. Hello Thursday night B1G football.
Brett McMurphyVerified account@McMurphyESPN
Source told @ESPN conferences that voted against satellite camps: ACC, Big 12, SEC, Pac-12, MWC, Sun Belt. In favor: B1G, AAC, C-USA, MAC

Not a shocker. The conferences with more northern schools were hammered.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
The quiet Big 12... Is it the quiet of the lull just before a big storm hits? Or the quiet of backroom deals being made?
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
One thing is certain... The Big 12 is very interested in the rights model the Big Ten is trying to implement.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
But is the rights model the B1G is trying to sell one of opportunity or necessity? More opportunity for Big Ten but also more risk.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
Would the B1G & B12 be better off with the networks as distributors or as partners?
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 2h2 hours ago
The structure of the B1G's new deal could be the blueprint for the Big 12. But the Big 12 has always resisted change & been risk adverse?

He means that they don't have significant graduate research programs that could lead to AAU status. He's correct. Law Schools don't do anything for AAU status. Twitter is character limited, so will never be precise.

@Bluevodreal I remember ESPN tried to discourage Delany from starting BTN. Delany didn't stop and Fox came as a partner
Bluevod @Bluevodreal 10h10 hours ago
@CGreen63 a lot has changed since then. ESPN does not want to partner on a conference network they WANT and NEED it on their channels.
Corneilus Green @CGreen63 10h10 hours ago
@Bluevodreal How has it changed?
Bluevod @Bluevodreal 9h9 hours ago
@CGreen63 ESPN does not want any part of a conference nework to risky and does not show their brand. They have to have content on their Net.
Bluevod @Bluevodreal 9h9 hours ago
@CGreen63 ESPN is also struggling with cable and cord cutters. They have to have College football content or they have nothing.
Genetics56 @Genetics56 9h9 hours ago
@Bluevodreal @CGreen63 ESPN without those 11am games would see a drop in millions for viewership. Would be a devastating blow to lose B1G
Genetics56 @Genetics56 9h9 hours ago
@Bluevodreal @CGreen63 If NBC gets B1G, major shift in football viewership away from ESPN by millions of TV sets.
Bluevod @Bluevodreal 9h9 hours ago
@Genetics56 @CGreen63 They will not loose the bid they can not afford it. See why adding teams in Expansion makes sense? 1 contract not two.
Jonathan Coker™ @JonBCoker 9h9 hours ago
@Bluevodreal @Genetics56 @CGreen63 so does these teams get added to B1G before new media deal?
Bluevod @Bluevodreal 9h9 hours ago
@JonBCoker @Genetics56 @CGreen63 Sorry read it wrong. Do not know but they would be part of the new deal.
Genetics56 @Genetics56 8h8 hours ago
@Bluevodreal @JonBCoker @CGreen63 new deal would be in place before the expansion but terms would be put in to account for the expansion

So part of the research available to B12 includes plans for expanded stadiums for the G5 schools we are looking at.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
The most impressive of them I'm told is Cincy's. I haven't seen it but was told it has great aesthetics.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
Uconns was also quite impressive. They have room to expand all the way to 70k+ if the demand was ever there.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
Was told research on the B12N regarding adding P5 schools should be in sometime this week. If I hear anything I will post it here.

UConn does not offer varsity wrestling. A quick trip to UConnHuskies.com would have confirmed that.
It's this kind of basic stuff that makes you know these guys are full of it.

Nippert is almost 100 years old and I'm pretty sure they were putting in an addition last year and it was pretty difficult to circumvent the old infrastructure. Wondering how it would be the most impressive stadium in terms of expansion.
