"the deal is believed to be worth significantly more than the previous setup worth a reported $1 million annually" ... So the MAC is now making as much or more than the AAC's $2 million annually?
@JFowlerCBS: Told MAC's deal with ESPN puts the conference "on par" with Group of 5 peers financially. Previous deal had them out of range.
Great we make roughly as much tv money as EASTERN MICHIGAN
@McMurphyESPN: More info from industry source on new MAC/ESPN deal: worth 10M/year over last 10 years
How much is it worth over the next 10?
agree we were hosed but wasn't that NBCs fault for low-balling? I think the terms of the original big east contract were that espn could match another networks offer (both in terms if money and number of games aired) but not alter it?upstater said:He means $10m a year over the last 10 years of the new 13 year contract. If true, Aresco and the AAC were hosed beyond what even I imagined.
Some of these schools will drop football in 10 years. It is hard to even stay FBS at this revenue level.
Then they would drop all sports. Those away football games at P5 schools more or less pay for the majority of the entire athletic department budget for the year.
Basketball would be eliminated before football.
