SEC network question
Aug 1, 2014, 11:36 AM
|
|
Someone has written up in another thread that the new SEC network will add another 20 million dollar per school on top of the 20 million dollar that they are getting now. Is this true ? I hope it is not !!! Do we know the true expected number for the addition of the network ..
I also heard that the ACC network in consideration but we are at least two or three years out

Thanks Little Moose68. The poster this morning is from South Carolina. A Coot fan no less. Don't know if what happens in Alabama will effect on Charter in South Carolina. I gave up my cable about two years ago. Could not be happier.

I still don't understand espn involvement

If games are on the SEC network, I presume that they are not on Espn. Hence, does not this automatically devalue espn worth

They get their money anyway

and since they are involved (neck deep) - the better the SEC Network does- the better ESPN does.
It's why they have ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3 - all of those can take away form the main ESPN - but it all goes in the same pot.

Not sure if it is the same purse

When each school in the sec gets 20 million, then this is not going to espn .. The only way I see them benefit the same way as before if the end consumer pays higher for their cable subscription

When the NCAA lawsuit dust settles

It won't matter anymore. I have a feeling it's all about to come crashing down sadly. Crap like this, dumping ridiculous amounts of money on the schools, is going to be the driving force behind the death of college football as we know it.

Projections, though likely, aren't necessarily correct.

They don't factor in that more people hate the SEC than like the SEC. Arrogance, and the SEC is full of it, eventually turns most folks away and they cheer wildly when you start to fall. New rules involving concussions will level the playing field to a small degree. Also, any new rule regarding academics, thanks UNC for this possibility, will also hurt the SEC. Guess who the big winner in all of this will be? Clemson !

Things are looking very strong though

All the major players are carrying the network except for Direct- and that's probably coming soon.
The fact that some hate the SEC is irrelevant. Most of those folks still tune in at some point.

The SEC network will fail to deliver
Aug 1, 2014, 1:35 PM

Who is going to watch Alabama-Troy when they could be watching LSU-MsSt or something similar? The only decent matchup they will have all year will be TAMU-USuC. After that is will crappy games up against decent games. All it will do is take butts out of seats at games.

Bama fans will watch Bama- Troy-
Auburn fans too
and just like a lot of college football fans do on Saturdays- they'll watch whatever is on at the time.
A lot of these games will be what you would normally watch on your local ABC or NBC station on a Saturday afternoon- and stations have carried those games for years. They didn't need big ratings for them to make money off of them.
They don't need primetime style ratings to be a success.
They are charging premium numbers for the SEC Network to simply be offered per subscriber- so they make their money either way.
