Message: [QUOTE="atom58, post: 2099823, member: 5312"] Talking about $$$, "Hokie Mark" puts up some interesting forecasts: [URL="http://www.gobblercountry.com/2017/2/27/14758108/projecting-40m-per-year"]Projecting $40M per Year[/URL] Somewhere else even before the ESPN network deal was announced, Mark wrote that the contract payouts gradually appreciate every year so near the end of the contract period the per team payouts would be quite significantly more than the $26 million per year of 2015 - I guess you could say these contracts are "backloaded". I am actually not worried about the loss of subscribers in cable TV - you have to pay somewhere for ESPN and two years from now there will still be about 80 million people in cable TV. The BTN and SEC networks would take the hit too in case of a downturn. [/QUOTE]
