SEC Network will be a tremendous success at launch, being available in right at 75 million homes. That will equal ESPN and the SEC's stated goal for a nationally distributed channel. It will also make the SEC Network the most successful sports television launch in cable and satellite TV history.
quote:
Using that as a template then the SEC would receive $275 million. Dividing that between the 14 member schools leaves us right at $19.6 million per school. This means that combined with the existing money coming in from ESPN and CBS, every SEC school will be bringing in a whopping $40 million or more in TV revenue by the third year of the SEC Network. That's roughly double what the league schools receive right now and $15 million more per school than any conference
quote:
Putting that TV money into perspective, $40 million in revenue would have made you the 62st largest athletic department in the country last year. Using Mississippi State as an example, the SEC Network money that Outkick projects the Bulldogs will land in three years, would take State, the lowest revenue producing school in the SEC, from the 49th largest athletic program in the country to around the 30th largest.
quote:
Remember when the Longhorn Network seemed like a big deal? Every SEC school will make more money off the SEC Network than Texas does off the Longhorn Network.
quote:
Put simply, the SEC Network is one of the biggest game changers in the history of college athletics. And most still haven't recognized this fact yet. The SEC Network's impact is going to be monumental.

The biggest impact the SEC Network will have on A&M is that it will basically allow us to resurrect our Journalism school.
Maybe resurrect isn't strong enough. It will basically CREATE IT OUT OF NOTHING.

This also opens up the possibility for every school to have their own network in the future. Imagine the LSU Network being a national channel.
That's way down the road though, but it's gonna happen.

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.
