So ESPN carries ALL the risk of getting the network going, but the SEC conference splits the upside 50-50.
Take that B1G.

risk = reward... owning 100% gives B1G more upside if they are successful. if the SEC demonstrates the value of the network, they'll have to recreate the wheel if they want to shop the value to other networks.

ESPN has some shite talent that they could drop on us.
imagine the revolt if Bayliss gets a daily show on the Network.
But I would love to see Finebaum host a Jerry Springer type show. lol

Take that B1G? The Big Ten owns 49% of the network. Was originally 51%. So the SEC is getting 1% more for their network. I don't see the huge difference. Also, the Big Ten conference doesn't have any risk just as the SEC does. I'm not sure how that is something in the Big Ten's face. And if in that case, how about the SEC think differently instead of copying the B1G. :)

If he doesn't have his own show and espn radio network on the SEC network I would be VERY surprised.

They did so by partnering with ESPN. The day the network launches, it will already be in more homes than BTN.

But the B1G doesn't own 100% of its network. It owns 49% and Fox owns 51%. So the B1G shares WAY more risk than the SEC, and has LESS of a chance for upside.
The only network that is completely owned by the conference is the PAC Network and that is why their production values are shite and they get no real national carriage.
The SEC got the best possible deal. ESPN takes the risk. ESPN guarantees high production values. ESPN has real skin in the game to get it carried everywhere possible. But ESPN has to share the success 50-50.

That is just wrong.
The B1G has half of the risks. That is the reason Rutgers gets a smaller payout early on- they have to basically buy their part of the 49% (Maryland does too they are just basically financing it over a long period because they are poor right now).
The SEC doesn't have to buy shite. The SEC can just sit back and collect paychecks even if the network is not a success.
That is called leading, not copying.

I don't know where you are getting your info but the Big Ten didn't/doesn't put up any money on the production side of things. That's all Fox that does that. And the SEC is copying, just as the Pac-12 did and ACC want to in starting their own conference network.

How do you figure that? You are just talking out of your arse and have no facts to back that up. BTN is available in around 90 million homes. Of that number, I believe around 70 million subscribe to the channel. The SEC Network won't have that many subscribers right off.

Unless they do what? And how is the B1G fricked? You guys aren't making any sense at all. What is it with you guys and all the SEC vs. everyone else? These networks aren't competing with each other. Actually, all this means our satellite/cable bills are going up with all these niche networks. It's bad for the consumers.

I am surprised that a Husker wouldn't understand this concept, as yall had to pay your way in:
quote:
Nebraska, which joined the league in 2011, reportedly will receive a smaller share of the revenue until the 2016-17 academic year.
Source
The reason Nebraska gets a smaller share? To buy their part of the BTN.
Rutgers and Maryland had to pay the same amount when they joined, just Maryland deferred it to some future date. Also every B1G team at some point had to put some of their revenues towards this expense.
On the other hand, SEC teams are paying NOTHING out of their revenues for the SEC Network.
See the difference? The B1G paved the road first, but the SEC has the better deal.

That is funny because the BTN website says BTN is currently available to up to 73 million homes. They don't bother to say what fraction of those actually subscribe.
