agreeing to TV package with Fox for half of their games. 25 football and 50 basketball games. Whisper number is $250 million per year for 6 years. Current ESPN half package was $1 billion over 10 years if I understood correctly.

Makes one wonder. Article said ESPN made a non-competitive bid likely due to their cost cutting measures since their viewership is declining rapidly.

That seems high, 250 million a year for half of the B1G's tier 1 and 2 rights? So if the other half can be sold for around the same amount, that's 500 million a year divided between 14 teams for 35.7 million per team.
I think we're getting something like 16 million a year right now for tier 1 and 2 rights. Plus around 7 million per team from the BTN, so around 42-43 million per team for just the TV rights. That would be a pretty good deal for us imo.
Someone correct me if I'm not understanding all of this correctly.
Your understanding is correct. I think assuming the second half at the same $250 is conservative. I can't see ESPN letting the rights go. I think they will back up the money truck plus you could see NBC get some inventory as well. Conservatively TV will be around $43-$45 million. Plus add bowls/NCAA tourney and digital rights and you could see payouts nearing $60 million per school.
Only if all Big Ten schools put some additional $$ in. You may have to throw some scratch at it too. Quality doesn't come cheap!Do we get Beth Mowins as part of the deal?
how are you calculating the current payout? You mention 16 million for tier 1 & 2, then 7 million more per team and arrive at 42-43. Are you implying each tier is 16 million?That seems high, 250 million a year for half of the B1G's tier 1 and 2 rights?

when is UNL a fully financially compensated member of this conference?
The conference doesn't pay production costs. Those are on the network and don't come out of the contract money, so 17.8 is 17.8. It has also been speculated that the second deal could possibly include more games than the first and possibly be more than the $250M/year than the first deal. So, the TV deals could be about $35-$36M. When you add in the BTN revenue of $7-$9M/year (not 100% sure of this number) you get $43- $45M. Add in bowl money, licensing money, etc and I could see over $50M per team.how are you calculating the current payout? You mention 16 million for tier 1 & 2, then 7 million more per team and arrive at 42-43. Are you implying each tier is 16 million?

The article states the half package is up to $250 million, so up to 17.8 million per team. There are other production costs etc. So say 15 million per team. Get a similar deal on the second half, and you're at about 30 million per school.
I don't see how others are arriving at 60 million.
60 mil is reaching pretty far. 17.8 mil x 2 = 35 mil + 8 mil for BTN = 43 mil. Factor in the BTCG and playoff/bowl money, streaming rights (who knows what they are planning there as it is only mentioned as separate from the deal with FOX). So there is the chance we could be looking bigger than the estimated 43 mil.how are you calculating the current payout?
