Just a McMurphy vague reference as to value of a BE contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Value has to be hard to determine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely because ESPN is in back door negotiations right now with the Big 12 to take 2 Big East teams before they can get to the open market.

Media estimates have projected the Big East's deal annually will be worth between $60 million to $130 million. Those figures would translate to between $3 million to $6.5 million for each football-only member and $4 million to $8.7 million for each full member." http://espn.go.com/c...ber-sources-say Anyone else think that seems kind of low?

His "media estimates" = my ESPN bosses told me to say this. the whole article was written for 2 reasons, to further devalue us as a conference and to CREATE bad blood between the BE and BYU. the infamous "industry source" has emerged again to wreck havoc.

I think the non-football schools get the difference, or $1 mil to $2.2 mil from the "estimates" given in the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big East will want to leave the negotiations with ESPN and tell NBC that ESPN offered some cooked up number in an attempt to trick NBC into out matching ESPN.
