Message: [QUOTE="WestCoastHusky, post: 4019021, member: 566"] Let's look at a typical media deal from a streaming company point of view: [LIST] [*]Let's say Amazon offers Penn St $100M for exclusive access to its media rights. This means about $8.3M per month. To break even, Amazon will need 1.67M subs paying $5 per month across the country. [*]Question is can Amazon get 1.67M+ PSU fans to subscribe to this PSU only app or channel? If the answer is yes, then $100M is an easy business decision to get all of PSU's rights. All subs above 1.67M will be profit for Amazon less production cost. [/LIST] I would say it would not be too hard to get 1.67M PSU subs willing to pay $5. They can double the price for $10 per sub, and the math would be about 833K subs to break even. They can go $15 per sub, it would be down to 555K subs. For UCONN to get $50M per year, we just need to following number of subs for the media company to break even with anything above it less production cost as profit: [LIST] [*]at $5 per sub, we need 834K subs [*]at $10 per sub, we need 417K subs [*]at $15 per sub, we need 278K subs [*]at $20 per sub, we need 208K subs [/LIST] Do we think there are more than 208K+ subs across the entire USA who are UCONN fans willing to pay $20 per sub for a dedicated UCONN channel? I would bet there are more than 417K people willing to pay $10 per sub for an UCONN channel that streaming all UCONN football plus T3 rights that we don't have to give up to the Big East. This is the future guys and gals. It might take a little time to get there, but I see college football getting there at some point. [/QUOTE]
