That's right and I will caveat that pretty much all conference / TV agreements (P4, G6, etc.) are backloaded so for the time being there is marginal increase but over the course of the deal it will materialize.
Some of you guys will never get me. I warned of next steps and here we are. I have had Peacock for about 3 years but maybe not Premium? My job includes AI content projects. So I can personally handle the technology but at home at nights I prefer to relax without any challenges even simple ones. This is not a coherent media delivery of games. It is a hodgepath of deals stitch together by a Commissioner who was a total failure in the WNBA. We now have no TV conference identity or probably studio show on game days that helps built brand awareness nationally.
What's the annual per school distribution?
Another point from a business perspective is they did not pay enought of money! Val Ackerman is a disaster and has been her whole career. If you are going to ignore your Brand, customers and long term - at least get the short term big dollar. And she failed at that too.
Good point, maybe I am not allset after all with Peacock. The “next steps” game deliveries I alluded to on the football board keeps getting even worse than I thought.
You are obsoletely right. I said this on the football board and the fallout I received before the “next step “ shoe dropped. Now people hopefully understand better the point I was making, although some of them comprehend very poorly even after being embarrassed being wrong.

They had $20 deal just a couple of months ago. Yarders can’t say they weren’t warned.
When was that?
You miss the point, you manage where you are in the market and position yourself for long term success. Val Ackerman instead has continued her long track record of failed results.
The Big East Presidents knew revenue sharing was coming coinciding with a major cash crunch at Universities, so they grabbed the biggest bag they could get. This isn't a Val thing. This is survival mode. You can talk about leadership and big picture and long term brand identity, but @Chief00 look at the Big East rosters this season and tell me how much money they should have been comfortable giving up on the deal and make their teams less competitive in order to stay on CBS Sports Network instead of Peacock.Val was given a raise as part of closing the Peacock deal.

“Val Ackerman’s salary saw a big jump in 2024 to $1.8M which looks to be driven via a $520K bonus. There is no explanation in the documents, though the timing could be related to the new media contract being signed. “

Big East revenue and payouts continued to grow in 2024, with big changes ahead for 2025 and beyond.
Thanks for proving my point, as you continue to defend the woman the female players in the WNBA feel screwed them over. You are one sexist guy.Val was given a raise as part of closing the Peacock deal.

I agree that Val stinks but the rest of this is CTE
I think that’s what I have with Xfinity but does that cover Premium Peacock?
With all due respect, the reason we are not in a major football conference is weakness at the college President level and a CT politician who wanted to sue the people we later needed a favor from. The fact that our President may also support Ackerman’s quick buck approach, doesn’t exactly generate confidence.
That is with 18 team leagues and such. The NBE has half the games. You want to try to keep up, though, you need to do whatever for money. And when you have half your league that is deadweight, that doesn’t help.
