Message: [QUOTE="CAtlantic, post: 4347944, member: 11388"] MH ver3@MH ver3 · 56m I’ve got some pretty good stuff to share on longhorn network, TXOU, and the Big12. As soon as I get time tonight I’ll break it down. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 16m So Big12 may have an ally in espn only because espn is wanting to help Texas and Oklahoma MH ver3@MH ver3 · 15m Espn is telling B12 through back channels that they would like to broker a deal to convert LHN into a Big12 network and secure all of B12 tier 3 rights for 7 years. There’s a catch. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 14m The catch: Big12 lets TX and OU leave a year early with no penalty aside from the exit fee. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 11m Schools would still be able to negotiate their own radio and local rights as well. Espn is offering a pretty penny for the T3 tv rights to all sports though. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 10m Remember this is Tier 3 rights only. Tier 1 and 2 rights are the big money makers and they would still be up for bid once the current contract is over. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 7m Espn is willing to pay around $8 million per year per school for these Tier3 rights which is slightly higher than what the ACC network has added to the ACC payout per school. $8m per every school that is a member once they are able to negotiate a contract. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 7m So if we expand we need to do it before reopening the contract for negotiations Berry GoCannon@shumanator_ ·9m How does this benefit the B12 more than ESPN? MH ver3@MH ver3 · 1m It won’t. But It’s a mutually beneficial deal. And that’s a pretty huge payout for a nascent conference network. Dan Dietzel@DanDietzel · 10m Replying to @MH ver3 So the Big 12 gives up two teams earlier to get a network that wasn't functioning / making money? MH ver3@MH ver3 · 2m Converting it to a full on conference network will make it profitable and ESPN is in desperate need of content. It also signals that the Pac12 negotiations aren’t going well and espn expects the P12 to have multiple defections. Heath@heath6303 ·15m So would this kill any chance of getting the 4 corner schools? MH ver3@MH ver3 ·8m Not at all. If anything it helps Colonel750@GibeiiBrewsong ·7m Replying to @stoolie_elijah and @MH ver3 It gets them into the SEC and earning money for ESPN that much sooner. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4m Yea it does. And saves the two schools about $100 million combined to leave early. They already say they can’t even afford the exit fee alone. ❄ Seth A ❄@KUandUofAfan · 7m Replying to @MH ver3 I hope this isn't true. This is an ESPN-friendly deal that is so short-sighted (i.e. giving up the expansion clause or the ACC GoR) that if feels like the exact thing the @Big12Conference would do. I hope @brettyormark tells them no. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 5m It’s a 7 year deal that would be worth $96 million-$144 million per year depending on how many we can expand by. It’s a pretty substantial payday for the content in question. college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h AZ’s 247Sports' Jason Scheer joined The College Football Daily pod cast today...the reason the PAC started their 30-day window to negotiate with media was because the remaining 10 demanded a valuation of how things will look for them in their next media deal. [MEDIA=twitter]1546657885962338304[/MEDIA] college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h Apple is out. ESPN, NBC, Amazon came back with new bids. CBS still active in the bidding. college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h Based on the latest intel of the Big Ten tv deal, I suspect it is now up to the $1.2B or $1.3B range. college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h I could easily be off by $200M. I don't know the exact numbers. It should be between $80M to $105M range per school per year thought. The difference between an $80M to $100M payout per school is $200M. We will see. college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h Each Big Ten school, once the new TV deal starts, will easily pass the $100M payout per year mark once you add in BTN, CFP, etc. Congrats to all Big Ten schools. That's more money than 99% of all businesses in the USA. college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h You can see why Oregon needs Notre Dame to join the Big Ten. USC + UCLA roughly 15% increase (likely slightly more than that in reality). Notre Dame alone is said to be around the $200M increase in rights for the Big Ten per year....cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h Notre Dame alone you are looking at around $13M per school increase. Once you have Notre Dame + Oregon you are looking at around $16.5M increase. [/QUOTE]
