While I don't think a BE deal wiil be huge the low ball estimates are BS. Conn recently sold the tier 3 rights to womens BB for 1 mil.

I don't believe it.

The price for content will continue to escalate and the BE now provides a much greater geographic market.

I'm simply a lay fan but I don't believe the article.

Yes but Uconn women's bball is not the norm.

Also, SNY might desperately need programming to replace Cuse BB in a year or so. I'm thinking around $10-12M for the FB schools...but goodbye to some of the better slots if they stay on ESPN.

If i had to bet...ESPN will not be the winner here. Rather, NBCsports will provide greater dollars and most likely in the $7-$9 million per school in all sports...bball only less than $4million...

"It's not the size of the contract, it's how you use it!" The BE

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... False" everyone else

I'm thinking that ESPN takes a little football to keep at least a part of the Big East hoops and NBC gets the bulk of both. ESPN Tier 1 and NBC Tier 2. $10MM+/-$1MM for full members. What do we get if we are right?

Because you don't want to believe it. Its shocking that you continue to be so off-base with this.

i'd like to see how far people are willing to go with their assumptions that anything live is valuable to networks in the age of the DVR. wnba? women's soccer? d3 sports?

if i were a network, i'd rather roll the dice that people don't bother to skip the commercials in taped programs that actually appeal to somebody rather than spend a lot on garbage that just happens to be live that no one wants to watch

if there's nothing with any appeal taped or live, i'd just put anything on that was cheap. i wouldn't go throwing around money hoping that people all of a sudden care about what's left of the big east.

You get options on 100 shares of Marinatto which can be exercised @ a" buck two ninety-eight" per in 2017 if the Big East is still a viable FB Conference.

Exactly, this thought the NBC is "desperate" for programming does not mean they will throw untold amounts of money at he BE. Programming still has to have value to it. Any amount NBC is willing to pay has to be covered by advertising dollars. They aren't going to take a loss just to put on crappy games.
