Pac-12 Networks going to be worth more than we thought

Well, the Pac-12 last week announced its new president of Pac-12 Enterprises, 54-year-old Gary Stevenson, whose first responsibility is building and overseeing the conference TV networks set to launch in a year. That led me to AJ Maestas, whose Chicago-based company, Navigate Marketing, does media research and measurement.

Maestas -- a Washington grad, by the way - had a fairly jaw-dropping forecast on the future of the Pac-12 Networks, putting it in numbers that the most uninitiated of us can understand.

"Off the top of my head, four years from today, I would not be surprised if the Pac-12 schools saw $12-15 million distribution (each) from the Pac-12 Networks," Maestas said. "The truth is, it could actually be 30-40 percent higher than that."

The ESPN/Fox deal is going to average about $21 million per year (higher in the later years). Based on these numbers, we could easily be seeing conference media per-team distributions in the $40 or $50 million range within a decade.

This does not surprise me. The regional/national network model is pure genius. Even the mighty SEC and Big 10 ain't close to the perfection that is the Pac 12 network model. Scott ftmfw.

It's still good news, but curious why this article popped up everywhere this week, the article is dated last September.

96 is supposed to be working on it. Everyone should send PMs to check on the progress.
 
Scott convinced ESPN and FSN to work together while at the same time retaining 3 football games a week for our own network. I am pretty sure he can convince DTV and direct to share.

I'm pretty sure he could sell freezers to Eskimos.
 
*** The Pac-12 Network(s) is scheduled to launch August 15, a little over two weeks before the start of the football season, thus giving the conference a cushion in case of glitches.

ONS of good info. LS is a ****ing genius at this.

I asked Scott about one of the unresolved issues: Will the national and regional networks both be available within the league’s footprint, or in a specific metro area?For example: Would a fan in Seattle who subscribes to Comcast have access to both the Pac-12/Northwest and Pac-12 National feeds?

“It’s unclear,” Scott said. “Each distributor will have to make its own decision.”
Comcast has committed to one feed in Seattle but would have the option to provide both Pac-12 NW on basic cable and Pac-12 National on a sports tier

“At a minimum, (Pac-12 National) will be offered online,” Scott said.

*** The conference received what Scott called “certain pre-payments” from its deals with ESPN and Fox — money that will be used to offset the massive startup costs associated with the seven TV networks.Scott reiterated that, from an operations standpoint, the Pac-12 Network(s) will be revenue-positive in Year One, although he doesn’t expect the league to distribute any network-related income to the schools in 2012-13.
*** Scott on the future home(s) of the basketball tournament: “We’re narrowing
VEGAS!!!
