Rainy Sunday.... Nothing to do but put together some numbers to see how the big east stacks up with the ACC from a media standpoint using the ACCs $17M figure as the baseline...
ACC
FSU - $25M
Miami- $25
Clemson - $20
GT - $20
VT - 20
UNC - 20 (basketball at premium)
NC State - 15M
Pitt - 15
Syr - 15
MD - 15
VA - 15
Duke - 15 (basketball at premium)
BC - 9M
WF - 9
Total is $238M
BE
Boise - $15M (FB only)
UofL - 18 (basketball at premium)
Cincy - 15
Rutgers - 15
USF - 15 (premium)
UH - 15
Uconn - 17 (basketball at premium)
Memphis - $10
Temple - 10
UCF - 10
SDSU - 10 (FB only)
Navy - 10 (FB only)
SMU - 10
Total is $170M for 13 schools...
I think the difference is potential... The ACC is pretty much where it's going to be. Maybe 2 schools could go up to the next grouping adding 10M... But the BE has three big opportunities:
14th school
Upward mobility
Market timing
If BE adds BYU that's a $20M program... And I think at least 8 schools could move up a notch: Boise, UofL, USF, Houston, SMU, Memphis, UCF, SDSU (all because of location or current trend).. That's another $40M.
not including market timing and having multiple networks bidding BE could get to $230M if we agree the ACC deal is slightly under valued ( not too big a stretch seeing they had one bidder)...
So, is the fact that ESPN, NBC, and maybe fox or CBS as potential bidders add $20M to surpass the ACC.
Have at it...
Diclosure: I didn't analyze each school but rather put them into bands. If there was a reason to add a premium I noted. Example. UofL at $18M is a $15M school plus $3M extra for BB. Uconn is probably less for football but more for BB (just less than UofL)... Did same for ACc (Duke at $15M is mostly BB)
