If that's the only scenario, you couldn't afford NOT to go P2. Going Big XII in that scenario would be extremely shortsighted, like picking Adidas over Nike in 2015 for "short term financial gains" (cc: @TheOriginalCane ) and signal we're not serious about competing at the highest levels and...

While true, that wasn't my point. The carriage fee pie is getting smaller every quarter. If trends continue, the first quarter any state gets added to the "max carriage fee" billing plan will also be the quarter that generates the most revenue for that channel in that state. Eventually, in an...

Also, paid live-tv subscribers have been steadily dropping every year by the millions. This isn't the boon some people are making it out to be, and live streamers like Fubo and YouTube TV aren't making up the shortfall.

I believe ESPN had an exclusive negotiation window

The ACC is suing FSU

Like @TheOriginalCane said, Miami needs to join this lawsuit ASAP

The only Big 12 Teams on the list are Colorado - the Prime effect, and Utah. Texas and Oklahoma are on the list but they're SEC now, and Oklahoma is ranked behind Miami, Duke, and Utah. There are 5 ACC schools on the list: FSU Clemson Miami Duke Louisville

The death of the cable bundle won't affect just ESPN. The B10 might have spread their risk across three networks, but each of them will be hit hard. Unless these media companies figure out another revenue stream to replace the cable bundle (it won't be delivering the cable bundle over streaming...

My understanding is the way the deal is written, ESPN is paying full shares for Stanford, Cal and SMU. Stanford and Cal have to pay back 70% of their shares to the ACC the first year, then a little less every subsequent year for the first 9 years. Then in year 10, they pay back nothing. SMU gets...

Every power conference has a GOR now. It's standard operating procedure to have one that lasts the length of the TV deal. The SEC, B1G, and Big 12 have GOR's that last the length of their current TV deals.

I have zero inside info, but based on my interpretation of what I've read: Yes No Unknown

As the industry and consumer behavior continues to shift, the TV/media companies have a limited time window to figure out a way to (1) make streaming profitable, while incorporating live events -or- (2) keep linear TV profitable -or- (3) come up with sustainable, profitable alternatives If...

Need the CIS attorneys to weigh in @TheOriginalCane

The opinion piece goes off the rails once you get to the Option 3 section. There's no way the Big Ten is taking Boston College and Syracuse.

I agree. Challenge is any school that would make sense to add from a revenue standpoint is either already making more money in their conference, staying independent, or has better geographic options.

The Pac-12 schools were always going to choose the Big 12 over the ACC. Even though the ACC could hypothetically offer more money and a shorter grant of rights, the Big-12 is geographically closer which means lower travel costs that more than offset any extra money the ACC can offer. Plus...
