That thing? Get back to me when/if it gets here.

You seriously think that thing is going to get anywhere near the B1G's increase per year? The B1G absolutely worked over Fox AND ESPN to nearly "triple their money."

http://www.forbes.com/sites/kristidosh/2016/06/20/new-deals-with-fox-espn-and-cbs-nearly-triple-big-ten-television-revenue/#e01cf5b5bfdb

According to their own reports, the ACC had to beg Disney to even give this "thing" a try.

Meanwhile, the B1G's increase in revenue is out there and guaranteed in writing. And that's in addition to the established B1G Network money they are bringing in.

Alls I know is I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a start up cable network, if you can call it that, with my investment dollars right now. That's going to be even more true in 2019. There's little about this whole thing that's guaranteed. I can about guarantee it's not going to do anything to get us close to the B1G's TV dealSSSS.

After massive face plant, B1G tells us how rich it is. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 12:12PM

You think it's laughable they are making tens of millions more/school? -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2017 9:42PM

Only the poor ACC schools that need conference money help aren't laughing. -- manassashoo 01/14/2017 09:16AM

Nope, VT NEEDS it too. We're $20 million(+) behind Gamecocks and Illinis. -- chuckd4vt 01/14/2017 10:47AM

Made up numbers. Fake news. ** -- marcbvtgm 01/17/2017 1:57PM

Not fake. Here's the damages. and the gaps are widening. -- chuckd4vt 01/19/2017 2:03PM

2014-15...pre-TV deals for both conferences. -- daveinop 01/19/2017 3:20PM

Factor in subsidies and the likes. 10 million BEFORE the new B1G contract. ** -- chuckd4vt 01/19/2017 6:05PM

Also before the ACC contract -- daveinop 01/20/2017 07:42AM

Triples the 2006 revenue, not the 2016 revenue. -- daveinop 01/21/2017 10:59AM

When we start losing coaches because of salaries people will realize... ** -- lawhokie 01/17/2017 12:38PM

I don't think that's the Big Ten telling us anything. That's ESPN... -- reestuart 01/13/2017 3:41PM

I only say that because they quote Northwestern and Wisconsin ADs. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 3:44PM

I was too lazy to read the whole thing, so I did miss that. -- reestuart 01/13/2017 4:06PM

I still think Wisc, took a dive so tOSU could get in the Playoffs -- Lead Dog 01/13/2017 3:28PM

I was suspicious at the time, but OSU performance in the CFP was legit. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 3:51PM

I doubt Wiscy took a dive. That basically drove their coach out of town. -- reestuart 01/13/2017 3:37PM

Big 10 had a mediocre year despite those 4 or so teams being ranked highly. -- Old Line Hokie 01/13/2017 1:52PM

ACC fans tend to focus on the SEC but it should be the B1G -- Colonel Jessup 01/13/2017 12:46PM

ACC really needs to pay attention to both. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 1:43PM
