Florida is an AAU member. : )
August 18th, 2022 at 2:48 PM ^
There are a few SEC teams that are also AAU members. Florida as you pointed out, as well as - Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Mizzou, and - soon to be added - Texas. I think that’s it.
The only Power 5 conference with a lower percentage of AAU member institutions might be the Big 12.

I saw that too and am kind of confused by it. I get that tournament payouts add distribution, but back of the envelope, that reported SEC deal comes to $18.75mil/school/yr. I had heard their payouts are more like $65mil? And the Big Ten is like $50 mil? Even $8bil/7yrs is still an increase before other distribution, and no doubt is much larger than $3bil/10yrs. So my confusion is - how does the math work? And also - how did the Big Ten negotiate such a more valuable deal than the SEC? Like, OU, UT, Bama, Florida, UGA, LSU vs USC, M, Ohio, PSU...even if the four headline Big Ten brands are the most valuable in CFB (which I don't believe), the Big Ten's deal is more than triple the annual value over the lifetime. That's...crazy, right?

Everything that I've seen is the SEC contract doesn't go into effect until 2024 and it should be similar to the B1G's payout. The other P5 conferences will get the table scraps and peanut shells.

What does this mean for future expansion ?
August 18th, 2022 at 10:48 AM ^
So thankful that we have a school like Rutgers in this conference we can use as a bargaining chip to leverage more money in media contracts.

I believe their mascot should be a Peacock from now on.
August 18th, 2022 at 10:56 AM ^
🤯🤯🤯 and they were smart enough to end the contract before the SEC comes back up again.

It would seem to be an ideal timeline. And, it also looks like the SEC deal and ACC Grant of Rights will expire about the same time.
So, though it’s over a decade away, my interpretation is that ESPN will aim to be the broadcast / media company for the southeastern US - going up the east coast a bit, and west to Texas / Oklahoma.
The lines being drawn in the sand are becoming a bit clearer.

That is a lot more reflective of more in this country than many are realizing, I think.

B - it seems as though we’re going back in time to the late 1850’s.

Can mgoblog buy a subscription to peacock and share the login/password with all of us?
TIA

Give me more 4K games

There are going to be soooooo many commercials, but hey...MONEY!!!!!!
August 18th, 2022 at 12:28 PM ^
Wonder what we do with that money. Specifically, Michigan. Thoughts:
A) Women's Hockey
B) HIRE BAKICH
C) NIL direct to players
But no, it's probably going to go to new scoreboards and new AD office workers
August 18th, 2022 at 1:56 PM ^
Great point! These games typically go 3:30 to 3:45 nowadays. They will go longer with this new contract. You know the sponsors will be lining up.
August 18th, 2022 at 11:43 AM ^
Fucking Peacock.
Otherwise...it's a obviously a pretty great move. It seems like it, anyway.
August 18th, 2022 at 1:40 PM ^
Maybe Costco will have a deal to buy 2 game tickets and get a free Peacock.
August 18th, 2022 at 1:43 PM ^
The amount of money in this deal is incredible. Might be time to freeze tuition.
August 18th, 2022 at 2:57 PM ^
Do you suppose that ESPN employees that are working in the studio during games have access to Fox, NBC, CBS, peacock? or does ESPN have blockers up and they can only watch ESPN and NBC? I would think they have access to them all, but does ESPN buy the Big Ten network so they can watch the games in their buildings?

Insane money yet Warde let Backich walk.

What would this number have been if Notre Dame had already been added to the BIG10?
August 19th, 2022 at 1:48 AM ^
Lol. Time to up my channel surfing game during the hours of impending commercials.
