Does any one know how much more money we received for offering ourselves up for slaughter? Can't believe it can be significantly more but would be interested.

The television contract presumably is for a certain number of Thursday night games, and the Big East then schedules them (I'm sure with some input from ESPN). So the payment is the television deal. That's my guess anyway, I've never heard anything about getting extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my guess anyway, I've never heard anything about getting extra money. I thought extra cash was involved. Is every BE team forced to play a Thur night game as part of the contract? That's why I'm asking. Thought more cash was involved but IDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm asking. Thought more cash was involved but IDK By team, number of weeknight games: Pitt - 3 (two Friday, one Thursday) Syracuse - 3 (all on Friday) Louisville - 2 (one Friday, one Thursday) USF - 2 (one Friday, one Thursday) Cincinnati - 3 (two Friday, one Thursday) UConn - 2 (both Friday) Rutgers - 2 (both Thursday) Temple - 1 (Friday - actually, Temple plays twice on Friday, but one is not a Big East game) So all eight teams have at least one weeknight game, all but Temple have more than one. It is pretty evenly distributed. It would seem to me that the only way a team gets more money is if the Big East doesn't distribute the television money evenly among all the teams, but I'm pretty sure the league does. I've never read anything suggesting otherwise and can't find anything quickly via Google to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any NBC deal would probably include a Thursday night game package on NBC Sports. I can't see them spending all that money without it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm old and suffer from CRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
