Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4656950, member: 1023"] Because the NBE is a modest regional basketball conference. Basketball doesn’t generate the $ that football does. You want to say that is wrong? Fine but the people who pay the bills disagree and disagree strongly! UConn in the Big East gets $5.6 million roughly. ND reportedly makes around $11 million from the ACC. But it’s Notre Dame. Most reports I’ve read say basketball is worth 20% of league’s media deal. Which sort of lines up with the NBE’a $5.6 ish deal and power leagues getting deals in the $30 millions. The Zags deal with the B12 is something on those lines. Maybe a bit more. Bottom line is UConn basketball, great as it may be, is worth what the market says it is worth. And the NBE as a basketball only entity, is only going to generate 6-8 million/team. We’re there such a thing as an Independent in basketball, UConn might be worth more than it is in the NBE. [/QUOTE]
