My guess $8 mil for both sports ($4 mil each individual) split on Espn & Fox for Tiers 1&2 like Big 12

Tier 3 will be schools and look for Fox to go impromptu BE network like its doing for Big 12, and making BE intro games to Big 12 a west group/ eadt group network

I heard NBC is out due to fact the 7th BCS game cant be guaranteed at NBC

If this does not happen expect realignment.

Also with NBC GOR required certain teams will not commit.

I can't see more reallignemnt. Is adding Loisville and another BE school worth an additional $40M on a TV contract? I think the law of diminishing returns is starting to come into play

I would say diminishing returns close, but it is believed RU and UL are worth more than ISU, TCU, and possibly Baylor.

We are worth more than ISU or Baylor. Those scholls are not worth $20M a year. Its the big dogs that run the confernce that are worth more and share with the others equally. I donts see RU and Lousville adding $40M to any contract. They dont have the 1.5+ million person fanbase that the big dogs bring to the table.

Actually in order to add RU and UL it would take about at least~$64 mil a year, so that all 12 schools would get $22 mil a with title game.

We cant afford to loose the relationship with ESPN. Especially if they are the "unoffical College Football Commissioner"

I just threw up in my mouth ...

So you are saying Big East football members will get $8 million while ACC is getting $16+? Big East negotiators must really be awful compared to their ACC counter parts. No way the ACC is worth double what the Big East is if looking at performance and viewing markets.

What do you mean when you say NBC is out because the 7th BCS game can't be guaranteed at NBC? That sentence gives no context and doesn't make sense when I read it.
