Everyone, I have big news. ...
The dominoes start to fall when the Big East invites Dayton and St. Louis to get to 12. The Big East Conference will generate even more revenue for the Fox Sports 1 network it is in partnership with for its current television contract, ...
Man, if you blink, you miss the big news, but here is where the big news is buried: there is some way for the Big East Conference to generate incremental revenue for FS1 in excess of $100m by adding two teams.
Think about it ... if FS1 can generate in excess of $100m from two invites and the extra BBall inventory they offer FS1, at their current ratings levels, that implies a revolution in the value of regular season BBall, and that is going to filter on down several rungs. Whether the precise moves he speculates about occur or not, this in itself is major news.
Without that revolution in the business of extracting media value from regular season BBall, as FS1 established itself over the coming five years and its ratings build, it will reach the point in two or three years where that extra inventory is worth the cost, and that's when the Big East expands and the dominoes start to fall. But with that revolution the dominoes fall much faster.
Oh, I didn't miss that. But took it as evidence of his delusion. Adding those ttwo teams is going to generate 100M? Come on. This guy is full of it.
NY Times
Big East can go from $500 million over life of contract to $600 million by adding two teams.
