Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 902143, member: 652"] I hate having to work with 1 lawyer who was a WVU undergrad. They are SO ANNOYING and the butthurt that comes out of their mouths makes UConn fans blush. Facts: The Big XII signed a 13 year contract with ESPN/FOX for 2.6 billion dollars. Which turns out to be 200 million dollars per season.

[url]http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-07/big-12-conference-signs-tv-contract-with-espn-fox-through-2025.html[/url] Facts: This is only for Tier 1 and Tier 2 TV rights. Facts: The Sugar Bowl will now be played by the SEC and Big XII when it isn't a playoff bowl and ESPN will pay 80 million dollars to broadcast, and only 55 million for the Orange Bowl.[URL='http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8601209/sugar-bowl-new-orleans-site-marquee-big-12-sec-game'] http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8601209/sugar-bowl-new-orleans-site-marquee-big-12-sec-game[/URL] Facts: The Big XII got 42 million for bowl money last season and 20 million for NCAA basketball tournament shares. For 62 million total. [url]http://www.frogsowar.com/2013/1/29/3928332/forbes-big-12-annual-payout-to-equal-26-million-per-team[/url] Facts: So the Big XII will be distributing 340 million dollars next year after the Sugar Bowl 80 million is added in and the ACC will be distributing 348 million dollars next year after the 293 million dollars it distributed this season plus the 55 million from the Orange Bowl. 348/14= 24.85 million 340/10= 34 million Why do you think the Big XII won't add any new schools because the only way they can keep their revenue higher is having less teams. This makes sense for the Big XII, but these WVU jihadists don't factor in they are flying all their sports teams to the Midwest for every conference game. The ACC is up and down the east coast and travel costs are a lot less. Facts: So without an ACC network the Big XII will make more money and this without factoring in the future with Syracuse, Duke, North Carolina, Louisville leading the ACC basketball league that the NCAA credits the ACC will earn will eat the difference between the leagues as only Kansas is an annual contender in that league. So can someone explain why these people are so freaking butt hurt, and talk like they are the only fanbase smart enough to break down the numbers. The real reason they make more revenue is the Orange Bowl-Sugar Bowl deals. If the ACC didn't suck in football these past few years the conference could have gotten more from the Orange Bowl. That 25 million less and less mouths to feed are the reason. Tier 3 rights for a crappy football game and basketball games are nothing to anybody, but Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The ACC can fix its problems on the field, the Big XII needs Texas/Oklahoma to like the status quo. [/QUOTE]
