Message: [QUOTE="sufan, post: 179683, member: 262"] [COLOR=#000000]----------------[/COLOR] Excellent post and references: however, summing up: (please note corrections if wrong) 1) [COLOR=#ff0000]Big 10:[/COLOR] 19.7 million each school: does this really include Big 10 network* or should an additional [COLOR=#000000]11 million[/COLOR] be added for each school? for total of [COLOR=#ff0000]$30 million[COLOR=#000000]/school? [/COLOR][/COLOR] * [COLOR=#000000]Pac-12 Network[/COLOR]: the network will launch in 2012 with a primary network and 6 regional networks.[COLOR=#000000] Revenue projections[/COLOR] combined are expected to be in the same range if not more than the [COLOR=#ff0000]Big Ten Network[/COLOR], which produces $280 million per year at $11 million per school.

PLUS: "The SEC may be on it’s way to starting it’s own network that depending on future additions, could gain the conference and [COLOR=#ff0000]additional $10-$20 million per school per year"[/COLOR]): ([URL='http://collegesportsinfo.com/2011/10/03/2011-television-revenue-by-conference/']TV revenue deals III[/URL] source) [COLOR=#ff0000]new[/COLOR] contract: 2024 I believe some rights are currently controlled by schools, with UFL getting approximately 9 million dollars a year. (my best recollection: please correct if wrong) 4)[COLOR=#ff0000] Big 12: $15 million [COLOR=#000000]a year[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]however, this does not include 3d tier rights controlled by schools: in the case of Texas, that = approximately an additional 15 million a year.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#ff0000]new[/COLOR] tier 1 contract in [COLOR=#ff0000]2016[/COLOR] [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]5) [COLOR=#ff0000]ACC: 15 million dollars [/COLOR]per school;[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000] includes all rights; [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]no opportunity for conference network ?[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]contract locked in till 2026, except for "inflation" (CPI ?) and possible but unlikely addition of new schools[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]Additional summary: (please note corrections if wrong) [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]1) The Big 12 will be in a new contract in 2016; currently has the same payout as ACC, except the schools each control 3d tier rights;[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]2) the ACC schools could be literally at least 15 million dollars behind the schools in the PAC 12, Big 10 in the coming years; see note above re SEC.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]3) The Pac 12 and Big 10 in their recent agreement to play conference games are maximizing their conference channel revenue and indicating there is unlikely to be further expansion unless a school like ND or Texas is in play. [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]4) The Big 12 is currently a close-knit regional conference with WVU as a very distant outpost. With Texas gaining 15 million for their 3d tier rights alone, it appears the Big 12 is stable, especially given that the Pac 12 decided not to invite OK and OSU on their own.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]5) The remaining question: with the ACC locked into 15 million per school till 2026, is it possible FSU and Clemson might actually consider the Big 12, and if that happened what would the SEC do or even the Big 10? [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]This revenue disparity over the next 14 years is not a recipe for ACC stability. [/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
