The AAC was worth $7M/yr and included teams like Temple, Tulane, and Tulsa.

Take their top teams, and the remaining 8 plus BYU, and I could see this deal be worth way more. $25M/yr surprised me too, but I can see it.

Written detailed report by Baylor Insider David Smoak this morning.

Gentleman Stan

9/8/21 11:05am

If they add more after UT/OU depart, I’d prefer they look west, not to Memphis.

rivercitycoug

9/8/21 11:07am

Agree. I'd much rather see Boise St. and either Colorado St. or San Diego St.

mellomike

9/8/21 12:17pm

No on SDSU. CSU has potential, and this would be a game changer for them.

cosmohio

9/8/21 1:01pm

If they can't rise to the top in their current circumstances with their peers, throwing money at it won't help them.

molodyets

9/8/21 2:02pm

Yes it will

chazen

Agreed. I know SDSU fans suck, but their basketball is top of MWC.

HONOMO

No, on so many levels. They have two ranked football finishes in history:

I'd take that over CSU or the school in Idaho with a 22K enrollment.

Col. State has been good before. SDSU never panned out.

It's in the OP.

Must be in a FO thread as I'm not able to see it.

BostonCougar

No, the OP has a link to the article at the bottom. It's not a link to another CB thread.

Right. Thanks.

Didnt see anything about full vs partial payout for new additions?

IF the start date is correct, will be interesting to see how they schedule

It’ll be interesting to see if there’s an uptick in transfers from Utah

Why would there be an uptick in transfers?

Don't ask dumb questions if you don't want dumb answers.

Who are these kids? Or is this just conjecture?

NotTokolosh

9/8/21 2:23pm

Players like Puka and Samson Nacua.

SierraCoug

They didn’t transfer to play P5.

That wasn't your question.

If it was next year, I think we see a bump... two years kids might be like

Corn Pop

9/8/21 11:16am

wow $42M per team in revenue?

Huge Manatee

9/8/21 11:17am

I think those revenue numbers are too high.

shoganai

9/8/21 11:17am

I think it's optimistic, but depends on bids.

Madam Pattirini

9/8/21 11:19am

The new market deals are crazy high, so wouldn't surprise me if it is correct. Networks need live content.

Turbo

9/8/21 11:52am

They probably seem high relative to what other leagues are currently getting.

Junior Deputy

9/8/21 11:28am

Yep the difference between $10M for the remainers to $24M by adding 4 seems off.

NotTokolosh

9/8/21 12:03pm

Agree.. something is way off.

charles

9/8/21 1:10pm

Is $24M the amount the remaining 8 will get? Maybe the estimate assumes 12 teams

tyrwhite

9/8/21 1:25pm

I think the implication is $24M per team.

NotTokolosh

9/8/21 1:50pm

Closer to $15M

I wonder if that's the fourteen teams with ou/ut still there...

No. That is the projected contract in 2025 after they are set to leave.

SoBlueitHurts

9/9/21 11:45pm

Article sources are estimating a $48M annual drop in TV revenue due to TX and OU

Six Foot Seven

9/10/21 4:03am

Hope their estimates are close. Would be great.

SoBlueitHurts

So we’re looking at minimum $40mill/yr plus ncaa, championship game, playoff $….

Can we put a facade on the stadium? And re-do the outside of the MC to match the annex and BYUtv building? The inside is

Football better get the lion's share. The are the reason for the increase.

Not even close to that number.

I'd be more interested in USF than Memphis or Boise

UCF will fight that but it is the right move.

Until USF builds an on campus stadium and actually commits, no. Can’t take projects.

Right. I believe they are building on campus stadium for second round intoBig12

Hard to believe $10M/yr TV money for current 8 and $25M/yr with new 4 added in.

Y-Phile

9/8/21 11:57am

Probably just available inventory bumps things up

LaserCoug

9/8/21 12:01pm

It’s available inventory, plus also relative to AAC deal - which will have to be redone

Rolling BYU’s ESPN and the delta of a revamped AAC deal into the lot.

BYUHgrad

The AAC was worth $7M/yr and included teams like Temple, Tulane, and Tulsa.

DescendentCoug

So he's saying teams are only taking a $5M/yr cut with TX/OU gone? Crazy.
