I agree with this. If a school is under a bowl ban, is the revenue forfeited inclusive of the TV revenue share or just the bowl share?

Also, I think they should do a radio ban instead. Look like it is a fairly significant amount of money. No radio broadcast and no call-in shows.

OXFORD, Miss. -- The Ole Miss Athletics Department and TeleSouth Communications have agreed to an extension and expansion of multi-media rights for the next 10 years.

The new contract represents a significant increase in revenues to Ole Miss Athletics from TeleSouth for marketing and broadcast fees.



“I have been pleased with the aggressive revenue generation TeleSouth has exhibited,” Boone said. “In 2002 Ole Miss Athletics received $325,000 and in 2007 we received $810,000. The first year of this contract the athletic department will receive a minimum of $1,050,000. I’m confident in the continued strong growth of the revenue figure over the life of the contract.”

TeleSouth is providing an additional $2.8 million in capital improvements, and additional financial considerations are based upon revenue generated by TeleSouth. TeleSouth has also invested $2.25 million to procure the rights for the existing video board at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to further increase revenues to the University.



As the exclusive producer and distributor of Ole Miss sports programming, TeleSouth coordinates and distributes football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball radio broadcasts, weekly coaches’ call-in shows and weekly television shows for football and men’s basketball. TeleSouth oversees and employs Rebel Sports Marketing and is responsible for gameday experience at every Ole Miss athletics event. Official Ole Miss gameday publications are also published and distributed by TeleSouth.
