Considering we get about $2 million a year right now, what makes you think anything less than $7 million is a bad deal? I don't follow this at all, but why are you confident we'd get 3x+ more on the open market next year?

Word from many who have been following (like CAustin Cox) since Nov,  were saying $8 mil per team. That number has been repeated enough that it’s developed into the benchmark. His last tweet was for tier 1 only so I suspect if that was the case the number is probably $5 mil (educated guess).

So we more than double our money? What about your statement that we'd have 3/4 of our games on ESPN+ after only having 1 last year?

This thread rocks. The first post says "no details available" yet we have people that know the details. Priceless.

We had no games on Espn+ last year...we had one (as usual) on ESPN3. To be on ESpn+ At $5mil is a total failure...doubling $1 to $2 is weak relative to the tv numbers the bigger games drew.

I'm wait and see... but we'll get  more money so that's always good.  It's crazy people are prematurely trashing it without knowing anything at all about it... except some conjecture which is likely off.

Speculation on a discussion board...shocking development...

So we had one online only game last year and you jumped to 9?

3/4 of the conference games. Yes that could be us at 9 if we suck but probably Tulane, ECU will come closer to that number. But I could see up to 5 to 6 of our games on the channel.

Based on last year getting 1?
