did some digging around, found the original values and timeframe for the contract.
it was signed in 2006. its a ten year contract, renegotiations possible in the 2015-2016 year.
value is $120 million. pending on how many teams are in the conference, we get to split 12 million per school per year.
the hair attempted many different tactics to kill the contract including killing the mountain tv channel. which actually dropped the payout a little, but allowed teams to negotiate there teir 3 game (i think).
we are currently a 10 team league, and next year we would be the same with san jose and and utah state coming in.
k... that being said. we are not going to be able to change the valuation until the contract expires... however the hair stated that if we can get a championship game, cbs would talk. meaning there is more value due to the fact that an extra game is on schedule, which would have higher viewership throughout the conference. Im thinking if we can add two teams like tulsa and utep, hopefully cbs would increase total payout from $120 million to 125-130. by adding an extra two schools we would lose money off the original contract but the championship game would help balance it out.
next... we have to remember that when we signed the contract in 2006, we kinda broke ground for the landscape. and we really got hosed. in 2015, the market value is going to be inflatted from other current contracts. we really don't need to worry about market value and penetration until then.
looking at 2015 though, i believe we will probably see an average payout per team around 5 mil per team, due to the fact that our conference would have a championship game in place.
all of this is a maybe anyway, because we have no current news about expansion other than that we are seeking to expand.
so our payouts are around 1 mil per school, and will be about that through 2015. as long as the conference doesn't dissolve and can keep membership stability after the defectors leave, our ability to negotiate should be more powerful than what the big east is currently experiencing. their timing is absolutely horrible. to be going through membership instability as they negotiate is going to worsen their ability to lock up sound dollars. i wouldn't be suprised if they got forced to sign an extended contract with a backloaded dollar, and stipulations about decreased dollars if more members leave.
