Gets the swoosh in the school bookstore at retail prices, plus anything that makes air, even streaming is eyeballs on the logo. If anyone there did reach the pros you have an in with the kid. It’s a relatively low risk ad buy for Nike

Typically they are a mix of cash and gear. The press release and terms of one of UConn's previous Nike deals is found here. It was a combined cash/gear deal worth a total of $32.45 million. In the deal the dollars were allocated to each team, but were inclusive of the coaches contract (i.e...

From the data: Streaming numbers are included if available. Games with no available data are counted as zero. Yup it's exactly that... plus streaming games only count if the streamer reports the numbers. It's then divided by the number of games.

Memphis would do it (football-only) in a heartbeat if they knew they could join the Big East for basketball and just about double their current payout; they seem to have closed the door on an all-sports membership (likely for similar reasons, the increase in revenue not being significant enough...

Revenue-wise UConn would come out ahead (even with travel costs) in a theoretical, however like the AAC the schedule would be less attractive and harder to guarantee the level of success UConn needs to rebuild the fan base and perception necessary to position itself for a move to a middle-two...

The AAC deal (pre-SMU departure) was distributing 11 full shares 14 ways. All the new schools had to take half shares and the conference had to significantly content increase inventory to maintain that. None of the G-conferences are in great shape. Memphis, Tulane, ECU, Temple, USF & Tulsa are...

Pasqualoni was gone a week later... the talent and recruiting wasn't the problem (in fact Diaco's high water mark was a bowl that was realized with the remaining Pasqualoni recruits and Pasqualoni had more NFL talent from his roster and recruits on a per year basis than any other UConn coach)...

I still think they'll do any divisional split (either internal to or external from the NCAA) as an "opt-in" but set requirements so onerous that without P2/M2 level revenue its impossible to opt-in responsibly (i.e. a SMU could have boosters meet the requirements for a few years, but... if those...

Pasqualoni did the worst job. He had good talent left to him... (8 draft picks in his 3 years (plus a pair of UDFA); while Edsall V1 had 15 in his 11. He also brought in 2 guys who were drafted the year after he left (and one more draft pick). Pasqualoni had the talent needed to keep...

I think any school is gone if the P2 calls, from any non-P2 league.

With the increased scholarship limits there could be more spots available for talented high school recruits, while using the portal to backfill departures.

If they only add a pro-rata share, I'm not sure there is a big incentive for some of the ADs in the league to add them, especially if they'll be banking even bigger non-basketball revenues than UConn (via a Pac-12 football share). Even if you're UConn do you want to provide a lifeline to...

FSU banks that viewership just by having their games aired on networks with better distribution than the other teams more frequently (it's arguably fair though, since the revenue is coming via TV, at least its the teams drawing those TV dollars getting the extra (if the Big East had a similar...

So who is it going to be, the ACC Football "super-league" or a second-tier league. It could actually be brilliant if the ACC secures 2 auto-bids in the 16-team playoff and then their second-tier league becomes the highest G5 league; may allow for them to steal and extra share of money.

Hawaii has typically provided a travel subsidy to conference partners for basketball/olympic sports. I don't think that will change, it's a part of their normal athletic budget.
