re: SEC distributes 31m per school

Not all schools should get the same amount.

You're a complete fricking idiot

And the reality is that the other schools in the Big 12 wouldn't be getting even 25 million if A&M and MU hadn't left. First, the conference would have continued on with their uneven distributions. That only changed in an effort to try to get A&M and MU to stay. Second, they're only splitting that between 10 schools. Had A&M and MU stayed and the Big 12 still grabbed 2 schools to keep up with the Joneses, that amount would be even less. So not only has the SEC been kind to A&M and MU, but the Big tejas schools can thank us as well.

And at the moment, TCU and WVU are still getting unequal shares. This year it was only 85% I believe. For the remaining 8 members that's probably only an extra million, but it still matters.

The B1G will keep up. Their current numbers are close, and their Tier 1 deal is up in 2016. Since this will be the last major conference Tier 1 deal to go on the market for a LONG time many expect the bidding to be kinda crazy. Enough to erase the gap between the B1G Network and the SEC Network.

---

Bears repeating…

B1G has markets
SEC has content

This will keep both far ahead of the other P5 schools with the B1G getting the top numbers just because of populations not necessarily from product.

Go sit facing the corner and think about what you've said.

The Big 12 figure does not include Tier 3. Once those schools factor their tier 3 revenue in, Texas, OU, KU and probably a few others absolutely matched the SEC's $31 million figure.

---

Maybe this year, but over the next 5, and especially in 2023 when the SEC and Big 12's tier 1 rights go up for sale, it will be a completely different story.

So in a year where the SECN only existed for 5 months, AND includes heavy start up costs, the Big 12's big dogs are around what the SEC is? Pretty impressive

Welcome to the SEC. If all schools didn't get the same, I promise A&M wouldn't like the outcome. Bama, however, would love it. 8 of Alabama's games were the highest rated game of that week. Ratings = audience. Spots are sold on a cost per point (rating point) basis. Higher ratings = higher ad sales. Higher ad sales = more money for SEC TV deals.

Watch what you ask for. Missouri, A&M, UF and UGA bring in more veiwers than any of the other schools from other States.

This SEC number includes tier 3. Tier 3 has never been included in the revenue distribution before as each schools negotiated its own. Most schools made $5-10 million off their tier 3 deals. Now that is all included in the SECN. 

The Big 12 figure does not include Tier 3. Once those schools factor their tier 3 revenue in, Texas, OU, KU and probably a few others absolutely matched the SEC's $31 million figure.

Except these are partial year numbers for The SEC Network also minus start up costs that include buying out each schools' existing tier 3 games.

But schools in the SEC still have Tier 3 deals in addition to SEC deal.

Alabama has one of the richest. They get the $31 million from the SEC plus $16 million in their Tier 3 deal.

Other SEC schools have similar deals. Just not as big as Alabama's.

The University of Alabama is set to sign one of the nation’s most lucrative multimedia rights deals with Learfield Sports worth at least $150 million to $160 million over 10 years.
The extension of a long-term relationship between the Crimson Tide and Learfield will now run through June 30, 2024.

The new financial terms of $15 million to $16 million a year double Alabama’s guarantee previously and put the Tide among the top three schools in multimedia rights revenue behind Texas and Notre Dame.

Alabama decided to keep its contract with Learfield virtually the same, except for the increase in the annual guarantee.The only significant difference is that Learfield will not have rights to Alabama’s third-tier football and basketball games, which now are controlled by the SEC Network.

One of the reasons the deal is so valuable compared to other schools is because Learfield controls several rights that are not typically included in multimedia agreements. Those rights include concessions, pouring rights, isotonic beverage, seat rentals and merchandise, which combined can account for 25 percent to 30 percent of the revenue from the property.

Learfield’s other rights include traditional multimedia inventory like radio, corporate sponsorship, hospitality, print, signage and other advertising.

You sure about that?

Yes, I am positive. Much of what Host started and became IMG College is what they just resold their Tier III for 210 Million to a firm on the west coast. What do you think has helped finance all that new construction in Lexington? It was the same firm Alabama just inked their deal with. Since the LHN deal is 15 million (11 to Texas and 4 to IMG) these two SEC deals are some of the biggest in D1. If you look back at CLC numbers over the past 5 years, UK was usually in the Top 5 to Top 10. Since they are no longer CLC they are no longer ranked but with UK's success across many sports now it seems probable their market penetration has at least maintained or possibly grown.

Unlike the debt others like the Vols took on, UK has been very conservative when it come to debt for new and upgraded sports venues, hence the new deal to bring in the new money to pay for all the new construction. Once Commonwealth is finished look for an announcement for a new 30 - 40 million dollar baseball stadium. All this is not tied to the SECN and is separate money from the newest media deals.

This SEC number includes tier 3. Tier 3 has never been included in the revenue distribution before as each schools negotiated its own. Most schools made $5-10 million off their tier 3 deals. Now that is all included in the SECN.

The Big 12 figure does not include Tier 3. Once those schools factor their tier 3 revenue in, Texas, OU, KU and probably a few others absolutely matched the SEC's $31 million figure.

Try again. I know Mizzou for one gets about $6M/yr for additional 3rd tier rights not owned by the SEC.
