Big East TV Deal with FOX, TNT, and NBC

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.
People think its low because they deluded themselves into thinking 14 to 15 million was a real number. I include myself in that group after the UConn podcast guy floated that number, i was skeptical but hopeful, but hope is hardly ever rewarded.

Hard to argue with that. I guess the answer is that it’s about right for the big east, but UConn needs P4 money if we’re gonna pay our coach $10M a year

Because we're making nearly $5 million right now on a deal from 2013 which UConn wasn't even a part of. Because I don't believe the 20% basketball #. Even if you want to believe that lowball basketball number Big 10 teams would be getting $16-20 million for basketball.

The B1G basketball ratings on the same network as ours and absolutely dominate the BE. The BE ratings really are not impressive one bit outside of UConn games.

You can't justify the math based on a made up number of 20%
 
ANYTHING on Peacock is dreadful.

Is it 4k at least? I'm fine going to apps if they actually stream at the resolution that 99% of all modern TVs are produced at.

Imagine not getting a pay raise since 2013, not even for inflation and then some chucklehead like Shizzle wants to tell you that you make double now.

where the bleep was 15 mill per year coming from

It’s not a made-up number. It’s conservative. If anything it’s closer to 85/15.
 
Sportico is reporting the number (6.8-7.3M annually per team):



Val needs to be fired. That is absolutely PATHETIC. Knowing how spineless the Big East front office people are they didn't even try to negotiate the number. Probably just took what they were told and said thank you
 
I would be happy with 7 million given the situation. Let’s hope that’s the floor.

FOX- UConn Providence 817,000

Fox- Michigan State Purdue 1.32 million
Fox- Marquette Creighton 786,000
Fox- Nova Providence 675,000

Fox- Michigan State Michigan 1.32 million
Fox- UConn Marquette 1.1 million

Fox- Purdue Indiana 1.195 million
Fox- Creighton Xavier 661,000

Fox- UConn St. John's 1.1 million
Fox- Michigan State Maryland 873,000

Fox- Purdue Rutgers 1 million
Fox- Providence Georgetown 596,000

Fox- Ohio State Michigan 988,000
Fox- Nova Marquette 877,000
Fox- Marquette St. John's 824,000
 
I wouldn’t freak out quite yet. This is a “suggested” estimate from the source so who knows

Only when UConn plays is Big East on par with BIG.
 
Turner grabbing up all these properties after losing the NBA reminds me of CBS circa 1994
