The top schools viewers are really high.. but the rest are not much better them basketball … it’s certainly not 80% better…I don’t get
So it had nothing to do with the superior brands in the Big 10 compared to the Big East?And yet it is.
There’s a reason the Big 10 distributes $55M a year to each of its members while the entire Big East shares about $40M a year.
Football is far more valuable than basketball.

How long have you had a micro penis?How long have you been an imbecile?
Good god.
Brands are why the Big Ten makes more than the Big 12, despite arguably putting out an inferior product.
The multiple paid to these conferences over the Big East is the market's determination of relative value of football versus basketball.
The dollars are driven by the big games. The lesser (filler) content is valued (much like basketball) as a small fraction of the value of those big games. If you accept that football drives 80% of the value, those premium games are 75% of the football value. (Read it as 60% premium games, 20% secondary football, 20% basketball)I certainly get the big money for the big football games..but the difference for the middle and lower football games is not as much as I thought with the basketball games.. which makes me optimistic the big east tv deal won’t be that bad
Just a random thought: Could the Pitino & Cooley hirings add credence to the notion that the XII is thinking of adding UConn, St. Johns, Nova, & Georgetown to gain a Northeast presence?
The PAC-12 commissioner claimed Colorado hiring Deion Sanders would help them… it hasn’t exactly played out that way yet.I think the Pitino hiring, and we will have to see how far the 3 teams in the tournament go.. will help Val negotiate the next big east contract … if uconn wins it all…I wouldn’t be surprised if the big 12 offers us a membership
Impossible to say. It’s one of those things that will reveal itself over time.Just a random thought: Could the Pitino & Cooley hirings add credence to the notion that the XII is thinking of adding UConn, St. Johns, Nova, & Georgetown to gain a Northeast presence?

That’s an interesting question. Is Fox orchestrating the removal of three key pieces from the Big East so that it doesn’t need to pay the rest of the conference?Impossible to say. It’s one of those things that will reveal itself over time.
And I could see Yormark making the calls, conducting some out reach which sparks the action we see, but that doesn’t mean he will follow through in the near term. We could see tire kicking this summer that sets up for something else 5-6 years from now… much like how UCF/Cincy/Houston/BYU did the tour in [2016?] which set them up for quick action on the backfill.
It seems to me the entire matter is largely in the hands of Fox and their vision going forward. Fox is paying a nice price for the B12, but does it hit enough markets in its present form?
I don't see how Fox is not intimately involved....and of course, like ESPN supporting the ACC raid of the old BE, I don't see how they will ever admit it either. Fox is at the controls here - they have the data/they have direct experience with these schools and the markets. And it seems they are building a platform to rival ESPN in the colligiate sports entertainment space....or at least take a big bite of said space. I think the question for them is as sports in general inch closer to a direct to consumer subscription model, do they have enough big markets.That’s an interesting question. Is Fox orchestrating the removal of three key pieces from the Big East so that it doesn’t need to pay the rest of the conference?
I’ve said this before, but I would be very hesitant to go to the big 12 as a basketball, only, unless there was a clear path with a specific timeline for Connecticut to join for football as well.
YesDo we really want to be part of a Texas-focused conference. Long plane trips, too,.
Various reasons to say yes:Do we really want to be part of a Texas-focused conference. Long plane trips, too,.
For sure if we bring all those big east schools with us…but I don’t think st johns and Georgetown bring that much value to the big 12…I can’t believe the big 12 would pay them enough for them to leave the big east or even want themVarious reasons to say yes:
-easiness of filling out a schedule for football
-rekindling football rivalries with West Virginia & Cinci
-keeping many basketball rivalries (W.Va., Cinci, Nova, St. Johns, G-Town) & adding teams like Kansas, Okie St., Iowa St. etc.
-enhancing baseball conference strength of schedule
Easier to justify paying them less without football (doesn't open pandora's box), but can still probably pay more than eventual BE dealFor sure if we bring all those big east schools with us…but I don’t think st johns and Georgetown bring that much value to the big 12…I can’t believe the big 12 would pay them enough for them to leave the big east or even want them
The idea would be to create an eastern pod, etc. to cut down on travel costs.Do we really want to be part of a Texas-focused conference. Long plane trips, too,.
No, but if given the opportunity we jump on it.Yes
