Great scott!

That would be in total, right? So it includes basketball tourney revenues, CCG revenues, etc. The $12 million figure is just for the TV deal. Anything else would be in addition...

This is how I read it as well. I think this is going to turn out very, very well for CU.
 
even if it turns out exactly the same cash-flow wise we still come out head, Right Sacky?

Are you referring to the fact that we ditched UT, moved closer to our large alumni base on the West Coast, improved recruiting potential in California, improved our chances at attracting a decent head football coach, or firmed up our academic ties to several west coast universities that we share research projects with?
 
exactly, although I was fishing for one of your patented UT rants.

No need for me to rant against UT anymore. They're somebody else's problem now. I'm glad to have them in our rear-view mirror, to be sure.
 
Loosely running the numbers at 2,000,000,000 over 12 years split by 12 teams you are looking closer to 14mil per school. One thing the article isn't clear on is conference championship revenue, if it is included in the deal, how it is split etc. but that could be another 500K+ per school.

Read an article that had the CCG payout as being close to a mil.
 
Comcast/NBC Universal would have the ability to put national product on NBC (Irish worried yet?), national cable on Versus, and then games on a Pac-12 controlled regional network. Most conference TV deals have requirements that state how many games must be made available via national over-the-air distribution, national cable (70+ million homes), and down the line.

So, the Pac-12 deal could spell out that NBC gets exclusive time slot and first pick of games (14 regular season and championship game) and pays around $60 million a year. Versus then gets next choice of games with the option to also sublicense some games to regional carriers (like FSN), schedule Thursday night games (for maybe a total of like 24 football games per year) and they would pay $90 million a year. Then the remaining games and all "other" content is contracted with the Pac-12 Network for something like $60 million a year. That makes $210 million a year, all games get coverage on national/regional TV. The conference owned network would then also distribute profits (whenever that occurs) to the member-owners.

If it were Fox, then just replace NBC with Fox, and Versus with Fox Sports.

Interesting to see ESPN in the picture as a player in the conference-owned network.

And the argument over getting satellite channels is a moot point, since the solar flare activity in 2011 will destroy all TV satellites, so you might as well dump your dish. :lol:

It is also going to suck when we make it to the National Championship Game at the end of the 2012 season only to have the game canceled due to the destruction of Earth. That'll suck.
 
Wonder if Comcast would put the games online for the internet customers.......
