re: SEC Network, the thread

How much is the network going to be worth to each school?
It’s hard to count that high.

Based on the rate within SEC states alone, if you multiply $1.30 times 12 months times the estimated 30 million subscribers in that footprint, you get $468 million. That would be $33.4 million per school — per year. And that’s without counting advertising revenue or subscribers from non-SEC states. Factor that in, and the SEC Network could easily be worth $500 million per year or $35.7 million per school once full distribution is achieved.

This part is misleading, as it assumes that all revenue is profit, and that ESPN gets no cut in the profits.

...though I do think he's underestimating advertising revenue.
