E$PN Big Ten TV Contract

[Echo Hawk]

So how much money, if any, will the Penn St sanctions cost ESPN? Who's going to watch a Penn St game, home or away? That's a lot of ad revenue.

$1,000,000,000 contract over 10 years. $212,000,ooo overall per year.

At the end of the day I don't think it will affect the B10 that much. They always have the options of showing tOSU, Michigan, or to a lesser extent Wisconsin.

PSU will still get eyeballs.

I would think that any Penn State game would get a lot less eyeballs. Worse, the subject cannot be avoided in any telecast. I can envision Penn St away games playing to a lot of empty seats. No one knows yet but no PR can right this for decades.

Another side bar. Do you think this moves Notre Dame closer to the Big Ten or to the ACC?

someone has to play the ESPNU game, it only damages the package a little bit.

Sad truth but controversy sells. ND would be closer to the ACC. If they are moved, at all.

Not for long if they suck.

Perhaps so. Because chances are they will suck for a while. Their commitment class for 2013 right now is pretty damn good.
