This was the same decision made by USC and UCLA. If we can gain access to more media money and potentially help football we have to do it. I love being in the Big East but over time, and maybe sooner, I can see the Big East losing value again.

If the Big Ten wants to invite us, I’m all in. $75 million a year per school pays for a lot of travel costs.

I would accept a lower amount. It does not have to be anywhere near a full share. Our DMA has over 1M households, 1.3M if you include Fairfield County. Thats a top 25 DMA.

BTN costs $11 per month or $80 per year. I thought the B1G gets 50% of the carriage fees. So quick back of the napkin, UConn could generate $40M in revenue from DMA fees for the BTN. This seems way too high IMO. It’s never going to happen, ever, anyway, so a wasted exercise.

Hey, keep in mind that the Big Ten already has first tier access in the NYCDMA which includes Fairfield county. So, for the purposes of analyzing the value, we would bring to the big 10 four first-year cable rights, you have to disregard Fairfield county, the most densely populated part of the state.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen what the BTN distributions are.

I agree with you, that it’s not happening, at least within the foreseeable future.

I did not include Fairfield County for the carriage fees guesstimate
 
Quick note re: BTN in Fairfield County - BTN is available via Optimum's college sports package (with the ACCN and SECN) for an additional $5 per month, but it's not part of my standard cable package (like YES, SNY and ESPN). I would guess that in NJ the BTN is part of the standard cable packages, but in Westchester County/Fairfield County/Long Island it is not.

I did not know that. That’s actually good news.

I'm one of those in Fairfield County paying the $5/month and have been for several years now. Definitely worth it for the amount of sports channels you get. I can't think of a game I couldn't see with the 30-40 channels that come with that package. I'll only watch BTN if there's a decent football matchup which is rare since most of the interesting games end up on the big networks anyway.

On this selection Sunday I have one morsel to share: I’ve just been told Fox will play ball with B12 for prorata for 2 all sports additions. Fox wants Arizona and Colorado.

If you start to hear reports of a PAC media offer for $25-28m per school trickle out keep a couple of things in mind:

This is a streaming heavy proposal that sees the PAC absorbing the cost of producing their own games and that amount is NOT reflected in the numbers being bandied about.

There would be no ownership of Tier2 media in this proposal so no revenue to cover those costs save what is being paid in the tv deal.

Cost to produce the content would be north of $75m a year counting all sports. So at 10 schools this could be a $7-$8m per year haircut off the numbers.

Important to look at total contract value per year, subtract production costs and the pac10 office cut (which is rumored to be 1/2 of a share moving forward) to get the true number that would be shared per school. There will be spinsters who do not acknowledge this.

Keep the PAC together so the B12 and ACC look east is my hope.

If the PAC/ACC merger is dead, I fear that the ACC will ultimately look to plant a flag in TX and be a part of the big TX gold rush. Hope I am wrong....tis true non of the remaining TX schools fit the ACC profile very well as this hr.

Rice, SMU, North Texas, UTEP, UTSA, Texas State. The ACC is like Tuesday. It has no profile.
