The linked ESPN article indicates that the basketball and football television rights being offered by the non C7 members of the Big East (Yukon, SMU, Tulan, USF, UCF, powerhouse Temple and others) are worth approximately half of the broadcast rights of the C7.

The ESPN article,indicates that Fox has offered The C7 $30M to $40M Per year and that NBC has offered the leftovers $20M to $23M per year.

Aresco has said on several occasions he wants to cut a tv deal with more than one network so the figures offered for the fb schools probably represent only a part of the final deal.

What I found interesting was the $30-40 million a year mentioned for the bb schools. I didn't see a number of years mentioned but going back a few weeks the figure mentioned was $500 million for 10 years from FOX. If the new figures are for a 10 year deal than $500 million has been reduced to the $300-400 million dollar range.

anyone who believed the 500 million dollar deal had to be chewing peyote. 300-400 million also makes no sense if you're no more than an atlantic 10 clone.

Ahh but what makes them attractive is the cities they are in . Although their were 25K at the Dome the other day, that was the whole buying power of the town for advertisers. They were all at the game not watching TV. Now when you are in NY or Chicago you can get 1/100th of the audience
on TV and still dwarf those ACC numbers and the buying power. That is what sells on TV, plus homes you are in. Packaged the way FOX has it may make sense Promoting the new league will be key..

What's the length of the proposed contracts? Either way at $30million the basketball schools would be doubling their TV revenue at least.

Newsie, I get where you're coming from but if you can't see the difference between Georgetown, Villanova and St Johns vs. GWU, St Joes & Fordham media wise then I hope that you were in production. Add to that the fact that in very near future there will be 4 competing sports networks and bidding wars will be the rule until everyone gets a look at the balance sheets after three years of battles.

Xavire interested if C7 offers

Xavire interested if C7 offers

IMO Xavier is a done deal. In fact, they are the most natural fit of any school out there. Will be rooting for them to crush Cincy yearly.

again...college sports are for small communities...pro sports are for big cities. that's why you can get 25K at a syracuse basketball game...100K in ann arbor, etc. meanwhile, people in big cities are spending their bucks on the pro game. by extension, alums and people of these "community" schools watch the games on tv. there's big time competition in the cities. if you want to attract a decent audience, you have to give them something to crow about.

as far as the difference between georgetown, st john's and villanova...and GW, fordham and st joes...it's big. TODAY.

I'm no math major but 40 times 12 is 480. And I'm pretty sure there was something out there saying 12 yrs.

When will you accept that its a fact that were looking at this kind of payday as much as it eats at you?

i would LOVE this kind of payday. it could happen...just not with a stand-alone C7 plus small time additions. that's a wet dream. the proposal you love is the equivalent of st john's bringing in norm roberts when john calipari wanted to coach us. so many believed roberts could equal calipari.

the truth is, if you want to be big time...you need big time thinking.

Well Butler and X are being added. What else do you want to see and DO NOT say a school that plays D1 football.

 

[austour]

I'm still grappling with how doubling their TV money, even at $30 mill per year, is a bad thing and will hurt the programs. Multiple reports state that the original 7 will get more money from the first contract than the new buys, but the new guys will likely double their money too.

What they choose to do with that money and how much of the first year goes to paying their way out of the BE will be the variables that will allow teams in the new conference to either thrive or wither on the vine.

Well they had a signed agreement presented to the board of directors before Looie took a s..... fit, and all parties withdrew.

I always wonder though if would have been big time players and coaches would have performed the same at different schools though. For example, not sure Cal would have been able to make us a consistent elite 8 threat year after year like Memphis and now Kentucky. Just like I don't think Peyton Manning would have succeeded if his career was with the Jets. Hard to explain but some players/coaches just do better in certain environments and wouldn't have been as good in another one. Look no further than Jason Bay.

 

[fuchsia]

Given our immediate prior history, Calipari would be gone by now and STJ would have received the death penalty for whatever was uncovered by the "holier than thou NCAA" about misdeeds under his leadership.

 

[austour]

Cal has always done better where he could run a dirty program. Couldn't do that with the Nets. Not sure if he would have been allowed at STJ.

he took the nets from a 26 win team to a 43 win playoff team. got fired in '99 after a slow start in the lockout shortened season.

he would certainly be gone today. nobody turns down the kentucky job. st john's would have had a great run under cal. then we would have gotten lavin.

[tom in salem]

Actually, I don't know what religious orders run which of the new schools but I remember tasking a course in the history of the Catholic church while at McClancy HS and being told "never trust the Jesuits". I would certainly be opposed to Fordham and Boston College has already turned their back on the BE.

bc beat wake last night at home.
