College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

I think he's going to be a huge bust. Hope the Redskins are dumb enough to take him.

It would be such a Danny thing to do, too. Please don't give him any ideas.

I think the Redskins have done the Auburn QB shuffle once, that might keep them from making the same mistake. Plus they'd have to inventory all of their IT equipment and then have that awkward conversation when they explain to Cam's dad that no, they can't pay Cam in envelopes of cash, it has to be in a check.

The Lloyd Carr reunion tour is complete as Greg Mattison is leaving Baltimore to come back to Ann Arbor and run the defense.

Marvin Lewis
Rex Ryan
Greg Mattison

Was there anyone else in between these guys?
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

and how long before their next coordinator gets a prime job due to the players he's coaching?

It'll probably have to be pretty quick, because Reed and Lewis are getting up there.

Not sure what thread to actually put this in but Texas and ESPN agreed on a 20 year 300 million dollar deal for their own network and other programing. Say goodbye to the Big 12 network as ESPN now holds the rights to Texas.

FYP.

Assuming it's true.

Not as lucrative as the Big Integer Network deal, but the same $15M/yr Notre Dame gets from NBC. I expect ESPN will broadcast more than just Texas football though. The hoops and baseball teams are marketable as well, plus the University-themed programming.

This is the appropriate thread.

It's certainly unexpected. When Texas goes D-1 in hockey we'll have an ESPN outlet.

Texas is actually netting more than any of the Integer teams. They're topping out around $20 MM inclusive of all TV contracts, while Texas looks to be headed toward $30 MM.

I think ND's total between the Big East's ESPN deal and the NBC deal is in the neighborhood of $18 MM.

I've read that this is great news for the rest of the Big 12 (10...whatever) but I don't see it. The other schools will be bargaining for a new TV deal with Fox Sports but won't be able to market any games with Texas? Fox isn't giving the likes of Iowa State and Mizzou a ton of money for their football rights. They'll be happy to pay for Oklahoma and TAMU, but the rest of the league is crap when it comes to football. I've seen estimates that each conference school will get $14-17M/yr but without Texas I don't see how. They currently get $8-12M and they'll be lucky to get that in a new deal.
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

I thought the whole reason the Big XII survived last summer was that ESPN/ABC/FOX whoever agreed to keep paying the league like they were a 12 team league with Nebraska,Colorado and a CCG instead of a ten team crap version of the Zombie SWC?

In that case, the next round of TV stuff where the northern schools get turned into the WAC is a few more years off still, isn't it?

It's worse than that, since nobody outside the state gives a rat's ass about A&M.

Oklahoma - Nebraska could always be revived as a Big 10 rivalry...

I haven't heard that, but even if true, take Texas out of the mix and that deal is probably nixed.
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

Ok, here's the other question that probably decides whether this is a quick snapping of the Big XII's neck or a few year long gutshot- What channel will have rights to Texas' road games?

This seems to sum it up:

The agreement does not replace existing contracts involving ESPN-ABC and Fox for sports content of the Big 12 Conference, of which UT is a member. Powers said he anticipates that the new network would carry one or two football games, a larger but unspecified number of men’s basketball games and a variety of other men’s and women’s sports, including volleyball and swimming.

UT stands to receive a $14 million to $15 million share of Big 12 Conference broadcast revenue during the current academic year. With the departure of the University of Nebraska and the University of Colorado from the Big 12, Powers has estimated that his school’s slice of the Big 12 pie would rise to about $20 million.

If the new network, which is scheduled to begin rolling in the fall, brings in just the guaranteed $10 million or so in the first year or so of the contract, the university’s total annual broadcast revenue would rise into the $30 million range.

The link also points out that Texas itself will "only" get $247.5M of the $300M deal. Going by this, the network will only do one or two football games, meaning Fox Sports Net can still do the others. This looks like a huge windfall for the school, and the rest of the conference should make out OK with their TV deal with Fox.

So it's like the BTN's selection of mediocre games after ESPN picks through the good ones, except 10x worse because there's only one school involved instead of 11-12.

Still gotta be nice for the $.
