Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3365877, member: 55"] There's no way it's that high, because our football rights -- given our schedule, our failure and our fanbase -- are relatively worthless. If we get $2M a year from SNY for 6 or 7 homes games, I'd be shocked. Fox is currently paying, what, about $5M a year to Big East for everything else? Let's say our mens basketball, given our fanbase and getting back to success, is worth more than the average. Say double the average. $10M? And women's basketball, knowing what was paid for rights within Metro New York, is worth another $2 or $3M. (If our women's rights were truly marketable for $10M, we never would have accepted the AAC paying everyone an equal share without exempting women's basketball.) That takes you to $15M, at the utterly high end which frankly I don't believe. More likely closer to $10M, which is still double what other Big East programs make in TV rights. But I will be the first to admit these guesses are just a little more educated than being pulled out of my rear. [/QUOTE]
