While the $2.65 billion price tag suggests that the sports rights bubble shows no sign of bursting, the broader takeaway is that the feverish sports dealmaking that informed the last few years will now subside. For all intents and purposes, there are no more major sports portfolios left to be acquired. The cupboard is bare and will remain so through the start of the next decade.

Sports talk here in Atlanta is saying that Big 10 Teams will in essence be getting a 300% raise... or 3 times the payout of the current media deal... And that the SEC is now in accelerated expansion talks, because there is a clause in their media contract that basically says, if the conference landscape changes (the number of teams in the conference) the current deal becomes null and void and can be renegotiated. They are speculating that Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will be added to the SEC... and that the Big 12 will go Bye Bye....

That's rubbish. Their current deal pays them about $27 million per school annually. The new deal will be about $35 million which represents 29.6 percent increase. While it would be nice to have its not a massive increase over the last deal and I'm surprised ESPN antied up that much.

They were expecting it to be $45 million, so while a huge deal still a sign that the networks are being more cautious overall.

That way those schools that are destroying college sports for the chase of dollars will have to depend on what each makes at the gate...

still 25x what each of our schools make

But then maybe our fans will get off their butts and actually go watch a game

You would start to see most cost go down...starting with out of this world coaching salaries...just a dream
