  1. Not sure on the rumor, but, financially, these will all be on ABC or FOX. You don't spend T1 money to put them on ESPN2 or FS1. You have 25-30 other games, each, outside these 20 to dump on the other channels.
  2. In 2022, Oklahoma State reported $75,606 in student fees and a $12,934,006 allocation from the school.
  3. Exactly. Some schools charge them after, some build them into fees for loans. Some just do small amounts, some fees cover all student tickets to all sports. It's an anomaly that doesn't matter in the finance comparison, but its hard to strip out.
  4. Last year Iowa had $650k in student fees and Iowa State had $1,847,367 in student fees. This is my point, some allocations come from fees, which are just pre-sold student activity tickets. The way USA Today publishes it though, they mix them with school funds in aggregate. You have to drill in to find the detail, and I don't plan on doing that for 60 schools, hence the disclaimer.
  5. Found this interesting: If you look at the latest finances and strip out allocations as "school funding", even though some are just student tickets to all events as a fee and shouldn't count, then do a P/L on it, these are the current P5 teams that pop up (these are in order from most to least and doesn't include privates because I don't feel like looking them all up individually): Turns profit on own (25)- Indiana, Georgia, Ohio State, Purdue, Kansas State, Michigan, A&M, Michigan State, Texas, Florida, Oregon, Nebraska, Penn State, Clemson, Arkansas, Kansas, Auburn, Bama, LSU, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma and Louisville Less than $5m in loss (e.g. student ticket crowd) (8) - Iowa, Texas Tech, Wisconsin, WVU, Iowa State, Tennessee, Minnesota, South Carolina. $5-$15m in loss (10)- NC State, UNC, Ole Miss, Utah, GTech, Oklahoma State, Florida State, Colorado, Virginia, Washington State. $15m-$25m in loss (5) - Oregon State, VTech, Washington, Maryland, Arizona State +$25m in loss (4) - Cal, UCLA, Arizona, Rutgers.
  6. Maybe eventually, but a quick move by him would be shocking, especially since all of his kids, even his daughter, play for the Buffs now. Also, its not like he's not getting recruits and he owns the place.
  7. I don't know the schedule, but I'd agree, of the B16 teams next year Colorado comes in with the most buzz, followed by Utah. One of the Texas teams, likely TCU just due to the past year or two, and then whoever starts to step up to end the season. Not sure Texas will take many dings this year with everyone else down, but Oklahoma does not look like a world beater. Whoever makes it to the end will have the leg up for next year. Definitely not top four, but I'd expect West Virginia and Iowa State to get a lot of Fox love, because they have a higher floor on their audiences on national games than the others, e.g. they do well even when they suck.
  8. No no, the A package is the Mouse, the B package is Fox. In the A package they get: The top 4 overall picks 6 of the top 8 8 of the top 12 and 12 of the top 20 picks They also get the basketball and football CCGs Fox, with the B package, gets to pick in the gaps of the above, and I'm guessing it goes 1 to 1 after 20. However, Fox gets 26 games for Fox and FS1, which is basically 2 per week. If you figure ESPN's is similar, but with better content, you should see roughly four games a week on ABC, Fox, FS1 and an ESPN channel. The rest, that aren't on Thursday or Friday, will likely fall to ESPN+, but so far this year they have had more of the games that would stream land on something like the U. To get to these kinds of payouts they need at least two T1 a week. It also is likely to change. With 12 teams you have 54 conference games a year. With 16 you have 72. They didn't pay the four new teams $120m a year for all that content to go on streaming. My guess is they get an ABC/ESPN/FOX on Saturday, and some of these games fall to ESPN late night or on Friday.
  9. They do have slot and promotional guarantees. That's how contracts get priced.
  10. They need 100% until this contract ends, they don't need it in 2026.
  11. They're talking about the bylaws, not a GoR. Separate agreements. The Bylaws dictate the buyout structure they're discussing.
  12. Ha, who would have thought Charlotte v Maryland wouldn't have drawn block buster numbers
  13. Its nearly insane for a noon eastern or prime-time game, the two best slots. That's how crazy it is. On the east coast it ended at 2:15am!
  14. I was shocked when I read them, it was like "Hold up, these are bylaws, what circus clown wrote this?"
  15. But meetings are what the Pac does best!
  16. They're really only forgoing about $70-100m, that's what the AAC would pay them over that time. In return they get more exposure.
  17. You mean besides hiring a big name friend as a coach who couldn't coach college and broke a lot of rules before they finally got rid of him for a solid amount of money, then slapped the penalties of his work on the kids who were trying to rebuild, irritating the players and the fanbase and making pariahs out of the president and AD?
  18. I really don't give a fuck about SMU, but why wouldn't you do it. You only get paid $7m a year now, let's say you have a $20m buyout. So, for just shy of $100m you get to build excitement and place yourself in the upper two tiers of the haves for exposure and money going forward. Kind of a no brainer. What I can't get is why the ACC would do it. I can't imagine this makes FSU/Clemson/UNC want to stick around longer and the optics of them not wanting it and ND wanting it is going to sting
  19. Insane is a good way of phrasing it, this can't be sustainable. SMU is taking no money AND hosting most of the Olympic events for Cal and Stanford. Crazy
  20. every win in the NCAA tournament earns you a credit, the more your conference wins the more credits you get. They do it on like a 3 or 5 year swing I can't remember, then that is how the NCAA shares the revenue from the tourney, its not paid out on a single year. I think the B12 made the most last year with like $11m or something, but most of the big conferences are like $7-10m a year. So for the Pac, WSU and OSU are sitting on 3-5 years of credits from the NCAA which could pay out $20-30m
  21. This has become the most boring realignment storyline yet.
