re: You're welcome, SEC brethren

Again, yes, without the Texas and Missouri TV's the SECN doesn't happen.

At the same time, without the SEC, the Texas and Missouri TVs can go frick themselves.


So, you're welcome, SEC. But thank you.




And to keep my penis reference streak alive, We ALL GOT BIG DICKS!!!



And frick LSU®

The combo of JFF and the move to the SEC did more for A&M in a couple years than in the previous 50.

You're welcome.

We were pretty hot stuff in the 80's

So by adding A&M (8,000,000 x $16.80= 134,400,000) and Missouri (2,000,000 x $16.80= 33,600,000), the SEC Network makes an additional $168,000,000 per year.

Top money makers for the SEC Network:

Texas A&M: $134,400,000
Florida: $109,200,000
Georgia: $56,000,000
Missouri: $33,600,000
South Carolina: $27,048,000
LSU: $26,040,000

:Big 6:

Kentucky: $24,712,800
Tennessee: $18,202,800 (divided in half with Vanderbilt)
Vanderbilt: $18,202,800 (divided in half with Tennessee)
Arkansas: $16,632,000
Alabama: $13,582,800 (divided in half with Auburn)
Auburn: $13,582,800 (divided in half with Alabama)
Ole Miss: $8,374,800 (divided in half with State)
State: $8,374,800 (divided in half with Ole Miss)

East: $286,966,400
West: $220,987,200 (A&M owns 61% of that )
Total: $507,953,600

How did you get these numbers? Did you just use the number of subscribers by state and assign all of the subscribers in a state to the school(s) geographically located in that state? If so, do you see how stupid that is?

The cost per subscriber is a very small fraction if the state does not have an SEC school in it.


If the sec did not have A&M and Mizzou the network would still be in those states but the subscriber dollars would only be around 5 or 10 million in total.

That's how the conference network contracts are designed.

That's a fair point and explains the reason why geographical footprint is important. Doesn't really explain the numbers and reasoning behind KCM0Tiger's post though, which is what I was curious about.

Last time I checked, Alabama athletics is pretty sound financially. In fact, only your daddy Texas makes more.

I for one don't need any "thank yous" from our new conference members... the SEC has been the best run conference in football since at least the early 90s, it makes both the old SWC and the original Big 12 look like clown shows, there is superior competition, not just in football but accross all sports, the exposure is superb, and I am happy to be here, finally.

Sure we kicked in tv sets, and happily had a Heisman phenom that helped the tier three rights numbers at just the right time and we all collectively got a little richer.

Since joining I've been to several road games, the other schools have friendly and welcoming alumni and fans, the games are far more interesting (even if we lose) and our one older natural rivalry with LSU, even though there's a lot of smack talk, is cordial and collegial and fun to tailgate and party with before and after games.

There is no other conference more deserving of whatever we bring as a member. The SEC is the best.

Branding Iron? Is that you?


Holy frick!!! The coiner of the name "Klanhorns" himself!!!

Does anyone in Missouri even watch college football?

No.Never.Rumor has it, by the turn of the next century they will have running water and electricity though.

Thank you UT and Mack Brown for making the whiny bitches an easy picking.
