That's just the Big Ten. FOX, ESPN, CBS, and NBC are literally paying billions of dollars per year for college football.

There were over 60 million college football viewers over opening weekend.

Meh, Oregon St. helps to improve the rest of the conference's win-loss records

You missed the point. Why are TV ratings relevant when TV is quickly becoming

I think that's the point...it's going away

ABC, FOX, and CBS aren't going anywhere. That's where the biggest money is.

boscatar

That's 3 networks to give coverage for

truecougster

And, you missed my point about rankings - which are the defining crown of CFB

Keep in mind, Notre Dame makes less money than Indiana and Purdue.

Yup the whole is far, far greater than the sum with regards to conference $$$

Kajdin

I think you are missing the point where conference money comes from TV deals

IrishCooga

9/13/17 11:57am

ESPN is in trouble, not so much the conferences

Josef K

9/13/17 12:20pm

Conferences as presently constituted are very valuable

IrishCooga

9/13/17 12:24pm

The problem is that most teams are not worth their share of conference contracts

Tokolosh

9/13/17 1:24pm

It will be much less. Almost everyone is paying for content they don't want

Bobmarleyjr

9/13/17 2:49pm

No doubt, money will be less all around.

Tokolosh

9/13/17 2:53pm

Did you read my post or the article?

IrishCooga

9/13/17 11:59am

It's not counterintuitive.

displacedute

9/13/17 12:02pm

I question how $100+$1000 = $2,500, but you are a Ute

IrishCooga

9/13/17 12:20pm

$100 + $1000 don't equal $2500. That's the point of conferences.

displacedute

9/13/17 12:41pm

I think you still miss the point here.

Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity

IrishCooga

9/13/17 2:33pm

Did you actually lose faith in humanity because some people disagree with you

Tokolosh

9/13/17 2:46pm

Not TV, broadcast

IrishCooga

9/13/17 2:48pm

I walked into that, but still...

Tokolosh

9/13/17 2:54pm

Maybe.

displacedute

9/13/17 3:02pm

That's where the real money would be. Cut the P5 from 64 teams down to 24-32

Kajdin

9/13/17 3:07pm

I am an ASU grad and fan. I am not sure I would refer to them as a "superpower"

mannheimadler

9/13/17 1:06pm

I think they're above the line.

displacedute

9/13/17 1:10pm

Reasonable post from a Ute. Proof you aren't all thoughtless bums.

unctoothman

9/13/17 1:26pm

So what do presidents do when network

truecougster

9/13/17 1:28pm

Well, here's the deal.

displacedute

9/13/17 1:46pm

I think the Longhorn Network will make folks think twice about...

The issue becomes content. The idea that independents would set up a season...

Tokolosh

9/13/17 1:48pm

Good points, but a couple of updates

1-Wing RCAF

9/13/17 3:04pm

Don't think a conf of superpowers will ever happen.

This is an analysis of traditional pay TV services...

Tokolosh

9/13/17 12:07pm

I agree, although I believe that similar to big tv money having a huge impact

IrishCooga

9/13/17 12:22pm

When P12 was formed, they abandoned unequal revenue sharing

fleaman

9/13/17 12:28pm

It is still more profitable for them to stay as a conference bc teams change

Bobmarleyjr

9/13/17 12:28pm

Yes, and I would add that the door swings both ways.

InlandEmpYre

9/13/17 3:05pm

Agree...similar prediction made by Notre Dame AD.

smartup

9/13/17 12:43pm

Success??? Ummmm......Yeah.....

pink22

9/13/17 1:52pm

"if"

smartup

9/13/17 3:08pm

The whole missing "success" part

IrishCooga

9/13/17 1:55pm

They are not in the ACC nor do they want to be, they do it for scheduling.

change will come, but you won't see the demise of the platinum conferences
