Consider this: SNY upped its monthly subscription fee from $1.50 to $2.90 when it added UConn a few years ago. That's an extra $1.40 a month for 1 million cable households. I imagine the upcharge for New York and New Jersey was just pennies. So, SNY became $17 richer per million households, $17 million for the tier 3 basketball package. If they charge 1 penny more in the other 2 states, that's 12 cents per 9 million cable households, or $1m more. Subtract production costs. Add football games, say 5 games.

It's all up to SNY, they make $18m in revenue showing UConn, minus production costs, and IMG handles the UConn coach's shows on SNY.

All told, UConn probably makes $2m per basketball team, $500k for football, and it gets its money from IMG for the ads from the coach's shows. I know IMG pays UConn $8m for licensing but I'm not sure how much of that comes from the ads for the tier 3 TV package.

Regardless, I would say conservatively this may be worth $4.5m a year for UConn, and that's not accounting for IMG.
