Yep. At least thr initial projections. It will rise if the ad dollars exceed the current conservative projections.

Yep. The bottom feeders of the conference have no excuse for not developing their facilities, recruiting, etc.,now.

Oh… Texas is definitely mad… I got banned from shaggyBevo for merely posting this article in an SEC network thread that already existed.

I think when all is said and done it will add about $15 mil to each schools TV revenue...bringing us all into the $35-40 mil range per year for TV revenue.

The numbers are pretty much set, the only question mark now is sum of startup costs.

How will this compare to the B1G network when they renew their contract because of the additions of Rutgers(New Jersey market) and Maryland. Too lazy to compare state populations, etc.

That's what is great about a conference network as opposed to one school. There is only so much programming that a one-school network can offer. I'm as big an LSU fan as anyone, but I enjoy watching other schools in the conference play too. If Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina, A&M, Tennessee, etc. are on, I'm going to be watching.
