Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 1749875, member: 44"] I agree with the bulk of the post Billy. In your hypothetical, with UConn getting $10 million, keep in mind that they would also get their Tier 3 rights back. We could likely sell those off for close to another $10M. Think that's optimistic? WBB is probably worth $2-3M on it's own. SNY would gratefully take our excess FB and MBB games. I'd have to believe that that would be worth at least twice WBB, despite the fact that WBB has more Tier 3 content. I also believe that they'd be likely to take 4 hockey games. Add in coaches shows and it seems easy to get to $10M. That's just SNY. What about CBSSN? I hate having games their, but I'd still gladly accept their cash. IS FS1 a possibility? Now, that's a rough appraisal of our game against the current opponents. The B12 would be an upgrade so they value of the games would likely increase over time. Right now we're looking at what @28K at the Rent. Think that number goes up with B12 opponents? Same goes with MBB and WBB. New conference affiliation means clothing purchases to purge our closets of the dreaded American logo. Why our move to the Big 12 could be the greatest economic engine of all time. It's good for the country, by god! Hopefully those B12 presidents are all good Americans, because if they are its a done deal. (Okay the end was a little tongue-in-cheek, but you get the point. The B12 generates cash for us in a lot of different ways. We can be flexible on the TV money.) [/QUOTE]
