Big East TV Deal

[namuh-bull]

I sure hope we don't sign a 6 year deal for that amount. Give them a one year with option for another, but to lock us in at a low amount for over half a decade is crazy.

Go Bulls!

He did say the Big East was in position to come away with a "wide range of exposure and branding opportunities."

"What we're trying to do is build a solid foundation," Aresco said.

 

Translation, we'll be on a ton of $hitty channels that no one has, but at least we'll be on tv.

Does this change anything?

How can an entire conference earn less per year than individual athletes?

This is an awful deal that should be enough to dissolve the conference by the summer.

Looks like Comcast has bought NBC. Comcast raked in $20 billion last year. Gotta figure there could be some sort of changes to NBC's strategy once GE is out from ownership altogether.

I do not like the deal, either. But, what other options-than the Big East-do we have?

I understand the options were limited, but if the money is going to be this low, stay on ESPN.

Ugh.... Lets face it, no team wants to be here, so it's the best of what's left
