Scooch said:Sling TV PlayStation Vue Hulu YouTube etc. Bundles of "TV" content will continue to exist. They'll just look differently. Direct-to-consumer services will exist too. We're in a fragmented world that will only get more and more fragmented. Lots of choices for many different needs and preferences. Anyone talking about things in monolithic terms is wrong.
That's gonna leave a mark.Report: Conference USA to get less than $3 million in TV revenue
According to an open-records request by the Virginian-Pilot, the conference is anticipating receiving less than $3 million in 2016-17 from its television contracts. C-USA is a 14-team league, so at an approximate $2.8 million, each school is set to get $200,000.

I think they are making $2M a year for tier 1 and 2What about our friends at UConn stuck on the island of misfit toys?
This news definitely should be putting the ACC into DEFCON 1 in terms of finding a way to make the ACC network a reality asap. The difference in payout is huge, and the b10 stands to make even more inside the life of the ACC contract.440/14= 31.4 mil per school
Plus BTN 7 mil per school and Rose Bowl 5.5 ml per school
So they will be getting about 43.9 mil per year without the Big Ten office getting its share.
I don't believe the $440 million number. The previously announced Fox deal was for at most $250 million. That was if they got most of the content available.440/14= 31.4 mil per school

This deal says ESPN is getting half the content. Fox might pay more than ESPN for the same content, given that they are the Rutgers of television networks, but I will bet they aren't going to pay $60 million a year more than ESPN for the same exact content.
IMHO, it was a good move for the B1G to stay with ESPN. I hope this doesn't affect the rumored deal between ESPN and the ACC for an ACC network.

I don't think this is correct, I believe that fox has the right to select which games it wants. Hence the mark up on the priceThe Big Ten is publicly saying they signed 6 year contract with ESPN/FOX/CBS for 2.64 billion.
2.64B/6= 440 million per year.
I believe it. FOX needs inventory for FS1. They only have half of the Big XII FB package and half of the entire Pac-12 package and Big East basketball.
Even though I bet ESPN keeps Ohio State-Michigan every year like they keep Oklahoma-Texas from Big XII. The Wisconsin-Iowa or Nebraska-Minnesota games will help FOX get ratings.
ESPN was paying 100 million a year for the entire Big Ten package. So the conference didn't get the overpay it got from FOX in 250 million for half but getting 180 million from ESPN for half was good negotiations for both sides.
The SBJ article from last month didn't say that. It made it seem like FOX bid 250 just half the B half of the schedule and that the Big Ten for leveraging reasons didn't want to shut out ESPN who didn't want to pay as much as Fox did. ESPN played the Big Ten well they weren't going to give them 250 million so they let the Big Ten take the FOX money and then come down to the 180 mill figure they deemed fair and will still get the games they want.I don't think this is correct, I believe that fox has the right to select which games it wants.

The content is being split, at least according to this article.The SBJ article from last month didn't say that.

This article has the information on the Fox champ game and preferable game selection
ESPN will pay an average of $190 million per year over six years for essentially half the conference’s media rights package, according to several sources close to the talks. Two months ago, Fox Sports agreed to take the other half of the package for an average of $240 million per year. CBS Sports also has told the conference that it will renew its basketball-only package for $10 million per year.
The six-year, $2.64 billion media rights haul represents a big win for the Big Ten Conference, of course, which will see its average media rights payout nearly triple when it takes effect next fall

Soon after news of Fox’s deal leaked in April, however, ESPN President John Skipper called Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany and said he wanted to re-engage. After a flurry of phone calls and emails, Skipper and Delany reached a broad agreement on price. John Wildhack, ESPN executive vice president of programming and production, and Burke Magnus, executive vice president of programming and scheduling, shook hands on an agreement with Delany and conference lawyer John Barrett during a May 19 meeting at the conference’s New York office.
Fox as the non-incumbent broadcaster has to overpay to get the rights. So the extra 60 million makes sense as ESPN has higher rating and is in ore homes. For Fox to move up in the ratings they need the content. Just like the Big East got overpaid from FOX and the USGA did as well. Fox is using its money to try and build up its FS1 property. They paid for Skip Bayless, Colin Cowherd, Jason Whitlock from ESPN.The content is being split, at least according to this article.
Report: Big Ten getting $2.64 billion in new TV deal
Again, the $250 million was the maximum Fox would spend for their share of the B1G content up for grabs. That was if they got more than 50% and had clear preferential treatment.
I haven't seen the B1G say they are getting $440 million. If they do, and Fox really pays $60 million more annually than ESPN does for the same content, wow. It would be a remarkable admission from Fox how undesirable they are to work with compared to ESPN.
