So it's your guess

No, AI answered the question based on a prompt from the UConn Facebook post. Also, SBJ hinted at that number in their most recent podcast.

My bet is the first round and the first session on Thursday will be on Peacock.

Agreed. Article said 5 games so that makes sense.

Not happy about the Peacock stuff but if the deal is around $1 billion for 6 years it's a big win for Val and the conference, if it's around $500 million for 6 years it's a total failure by Val.

It's going to be a lot closer (if not lower) than $500mm.

My baseless guess is it will be right around the middle of that. $750M for 6 years.
 
Sportico is reporting the number (6.8-7.3M annually per team):

Estimates of the value of the new agreements see the conference nearly doubling its annual rights payments at a range of $75 million to $80 million per year.

That would be exceptionally disappointing

Who was saying we were going to get $14-$15M per?

Please reply so that we can point and laugh at you and say: “I told you so”

Let’s get out of the Big East

The current deal is 500 million for 12 years. This one will be 500 million for six years. Even adding UConn as an 11th school, it will be close to double.

$7.5M is not “almost double”

Quit putting lipstick on this pig.
 
People need to be realistic. Its a decent enough number. What other non FBS FB conference is anywhere near those figures?

The Big 12 gets 32 million per year. Basketball is conservatively 20% of the contract. That’s 6.4 million. We get more than the Big 12 for basketball. This will allow us to pay the NCAA back payments and put 2.5 million in revenue sharing before even touching current revenue or expenses.

$500M 12 years ago = $684M in 2024 dollars.
Old deal: $57M a year / 10 teams = $5.7M
New deal: ~$77.5M a year / 11 teams = $7.0M

So 23% more per team in real dollars than the old contract.
 
if the deal is $500mm or less we should start pushing for unequal revenue sharing with the few other schools holding up the conference.

Lol less than $500M over 6 years. awful

Where are you seeing this? That would be a disaster. The 12 year $500 deal was for 10 teams without UConn which is far and away their biggest moneymaker and the deal was backloaded. We're probably making close to $5 million a year on the current contract. TNT losing the NBA needs content as does Peacock. I have no faith in Val but if the money # is really that low and we're getting a significant # of games behind a paywall it's unfathomable to me.

LOL. It’s 41.7 million per year in the old deal; not 57 million. Also, the cost of living was less 12 years ago.

A few thoughts on the pending Big East media deal
BY BEN PORTNOY
6.25.2024

A couple musings on the deal:

The Big East is a fascinating case study in how media companies value basketball moving forward. The league has won four of the last eight men’s D-I basketball national championships. That moves the needle. That said, football is the biggest driver of media rights money. Depending on the final numbers, I’ll be curious where the Big East’s eventual deal stacks up with Group of Five football-centric deals. The AAC deal secured by retired Commissioner Mike Aresco, for example, netted the league a nearly $1 billion, 12-year agreement with ESPN. If the Big East is anywhere remotely near that neighborhood, that’s a massive win.

Folding in a couple of network partners is a nice touch for a league that has a footprint spanning from New York City to Nebraska. In short, more TV partners mean more potential eyeballs nationwide. We saw how the Big Ten added value to its deal with a few different media partners. The Big East working a similar angle feels like the right move.

A few thoughts on the pending Big East media deal

the Big East is putting the finishing touches on a new six-year media rights deal with Fox, NBC and TNT that is expected to see a significant hike from its previous 12-year, $500 million contract. What does it mean for basketball rights, and how does it set the stage for Group of Five conferences?

Sportico estimate. SBJ estimated the same thing.

If we are getting 7.3 million per year, how is that low? That is in line with 20% of the contract for the ACC and Big 12. Actually slightly better than both, and we go to market again in just six years.
