Incredible “have/have not” comparison.ajcalhoun wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 9:18 am From that article:
"These days, the schools in the AAC are getting somewhere around $2 million a year in television revenue, which means that schools like Clemson and LSU are paying their defensive coordinators more than UCF and Houston are receiving each year in TV revenue."
Not sure how you're arriving at $19 million per school. $126 million contract over seven years divided among how many football schools?tpstulane wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 12:48 am Currently $1.9 million per school. Looking for triple that on new deal.

One Billion dollars...or a dozen Pro V 1's or Pro V 1 x.....Bicoastalwave wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 5:17 pm Just for fun speculation: What is the minimum yearly revenue per team we would like to see from our next TV deal ?
I think the question boils down to what is the next goal ? Separate from rest of G5 further ? Enough revenue to entice BYU/Boise/SDSU to join ? Enough $$ to protect our teams from having their HC’s poached?
Obviously close the gap with P5 & have pay equality is the ultimate goal but what’s realistic and what would we be happy with ? $6m ? 10m ? 15m ?
Discuss
To hell with exposure, we need the money. And if the CBSSN's, Facebook, Amazon's of the world want to pony up more than ESPN, CYA in a hurry. If they pony up the money, they'll back their investment with marketing. And the cable cutters continue to grow.Bicoastalwave wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 5:17 pm Just for fun speculation: What is the minimum yearly revenue per team we would like to see from our next TV deal ?

I was in Newport and had conversations with Troy & WF, but was mostly focused on being appalled by the LSU’s hubris. They were extremely transparanet. I wish I had asked how much money will be required to keep our current Athletic department spending where it is and furthermore how big does the deal need to be to keep our conference solvent ? It sure as sh*t isn’t $1.9m per team with the Big East pay outs coming to an end.
I look forward to hearing everyone’s insights
The bidders is key, as it's unclear if the primarily streaming companies and/or subsidiaries (Netflix, Twitter, Hulu, Amazon, Sling, etc.) would be interested in paying significant amounts (even at $6M a school) for content that may not dramatically increase their subscriber base. Further, the Disney acquisition of flagship FOX and the 22 Regional Sports Networks owned by Fox does not help either, as that removed FOX from being a truly separate bidder from ESPN - although, that being said, Fox Sports, FS1 and FS2 will remain with FOX and will not transfer to Disney.DfromCT wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 6:21 pmTo hell with exposure, we need the money.

$6 million/year would be a triple. I really and honestly don't know many bidders there will be. But if we got a deal that included traditional AND non traditional outlets, I would hope for $10 million/year/school. We're not getting P5 money, and it will be interesting to see if P5 money increases or decreases in the mid 2020's. Let's face it, NOBODY knows how this is going to play out, and I'm speculating because I'm very far from an industry expert. I kind of hope it's a short term deal and we're back in the market at the middle of the 2020's when the P5's are done. Hopefully by then we'll be the P6, but that's a long shot.
Well, fewer than 15 athletic departments do not run a deficit according to the research by USA Today, so it would be unreasonable to expect Tulane to join that group even with a new TV deal.Bicoastalwave wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 12:18 pm No doubt the total pie that is tv revenue for college football will shrink. But our 1.9m per year will not, because that is an undervalued contract negotiated when the conference was in a precarious situation.
Now the question is would twitch/YouTube/sling etc get involved for our primary or our second tier rights ?does that get us to $4m, $6m or $10m a year ?
In that article posted above about tv rev shrinking, the big ten commissioner when asked about how these massive windfalls have helped the fans spouted a bunch of BS that really shows the waste of these major programs and that the fans really aren’t a priority. We don’t need $50m annually to compete and close the gap, we can operate more efficiently and leanly. We can also simply subsidize fewer additional Olympic sports then they do.
We operate our athletic department at a deficit, how much of a deficit I am unaware. Is $6m annually enough for us to close gap and guarantee solvency to the league and athletic department.
Cincy is, if I am not mistaken, 32-30 in their AAc History...I think UH 45 -15...whose is the bigger "catch"GreenLantern wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 4:11 pm https://www.sbnation.com/college-footba ... xgTDAPBDJY
This is a very good read. Some of the highlights:
- Current AAC deal expires in 2020 and has a value of $126mil. The new deal with a 'grant-of-rights' could multiply this by 3 or 4 times.
- Schools signing the 'grant-of-rights deal would lose their ability to leave for another league (what if the Big 12 expands?)
- Signing the deal would increase Tulane's revenue from $2mil annually to $6-$8mil. That's not chicken feed.
- Discussion is underway to pay larger schools (UCF and Cincy) more money to entice them to sign the new deal
Yes, it is.GreenLantern wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 4:11 pm

Yeah, but if we gave Tulsa the boot, do we expect the same? As recently as week 8 of this season, many on this board feared we were in danger of getting the boot.Bicoastalwave wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 4:48 pm https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Jou ... s/AAC.aspx
This is another good story that the sbnation article is based on. Others have said the next AAC deal would be closer to the $9-12m range with a GOR.
Is there anyway we would look at giving Tulsa the boot ?

What worse is they're not talking about ALL schools signing a Grant of Rights, and although they don't come out and say it, it's talked around that Tulane would NOT be signing that Grant of Rights, which would mean we'd get less than those schools that do sign such a deal.ajcalhoun wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 4:55 pmYes, it is.GreenLantern wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 4:11 pm
