Lol 28 cents.
We get charged for everything here as it is. What's $5 more a month? Charge every CT TV household $5 more a month and call it a day. In typical Connecticut fashion, non-fans would b!tch, then do nothing about it.
$5 is too high but that would provide 81M per year in CT alone, NOT including advertising revenue.
It owuld never be $5. ESPN doesn't even charge that. It would likely be on the order of $0.10-0.15 depending on the content it provides.

SNY jumped from $1.40 to $2.50+ when it added UConn. And it went from Sports Tier to BASIC.
Yup, $2.50 on the basic tier is the benchmark. The DMA's in this area love their Huskies. Did you hear that B12 poobahs?
Didn't Dodd say the Big 12 was not going to expand?
Yup. Just 6 days ago: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoo...-12-ties-to-analyze-chances-of-joining-big-12
Several industry sources told CBS Sports it is unlikely there is enough money in the system to make Big 12 expansion worthwhile. The league might get a slight bump in rights fees but not a windfall. In essence: ESPN already owns the majority of media rights for the likes of, say, BYU and Cincinnati. Why would it pay more for the pair to play in the Big 12?
The conversation may be shifting away from expansion and toward a conference championship game. Because of recent NCAA legislation, there is no reason for the Big 12 to expand to stage a championship game. It can do so with only 10 teams.
Well, minus the Mets of course. So I am thinking $1.

$1 x 1 million cable boxes x 12 months = 12 million / ESPN's 50% cut = $6 million for tier 3 + advertising profits.
