Notre Dame isn’t going to put their games on ESPN when they can have them on NBC instead. It’s not going to happen.Not going to matter if ESPN offers way more than NBC can afford.
Lol, @WhoISthis you dumbed this? It's absolutely true. SEC owns 0% of the SEC Network.ESPN owns 100% of the SEC Network. Another bizarre negotiation by SEC bigwigs.
From the rights ESPN already had with them… keep up.Lol, no they're not. Nobody else can broadcast SEC games from 2024 to 2034. ESPN owns them all, for $3 bill. So where exactly do you think the extra $4 bill is coming from?
I think Jimmy Pitaro (President of ESPN) said they are not married to that 3:30p ET slot CBS had for the SEC. Rather whatever window fits best and I know they have talked about doing ABC prime time as the highest profile SEC matchup, which would in theory open up the 3:30 window. ABC shows more than one game on Saturday.Disney isn't going to back up the truck for ND. They have SEC games at 2:30 on ABC. ESPN can't match ABC (SEC) or CBS (Big10) reach at that time slot.
NBC or Fox are the Irish's best chance to maximize viewership and $ at the mid-afternoon spot.
Plus it could be NBC/CBS combo creates increased scheduling flexibility between Big10 & ND for the 2:30 & 7 times.
Found the article. That is correct with the SEC Network dealing ESPN has. I didn’t have that one right.From the rights ESPN already had with them… keep up.
Lol, so in 2013 ESPN agreed to pay the SEC $4 bill for a small amount of media rights, and then in 2020 got exclusive rights for only $3 bill?From the rights ESPN already had with them… keep up.

They are all right here. The 300mil per year is espn taking over the CBS game in addition to all the other games they were paying for. So it’s their previous deal with espn, plus an additional 300mil per year after taking over the CBS game. That’s why each SEC school will be in the 60’s-70’s mil per range.Lol, so in 2013 ESPN agreed to pay the SEC $4 bill for a small amount of media rights, and then in 2020 got exclusive rights for only $3 bill?
Dude...
Who's paying them $600 mill/year? ESPN?The SEC is already collecting ~$600M/yr in TV/radio rights fees.
They're not taking a 50% pay cut. The new $300M is replacing CBS' $55M.
That makes the new total nearly $850M/yr. And since the announcement came well before the Texas/Oklahoma addition, there's a good chance it'll go up from there.
Yes it bought the REST of the media rights (that it didn't already have, CBS did) for 3 Bills MORELol, so in 2013 ESPN agreed to pay the SEC $4 bill for a small amount of media rights, and then in 2020 got exclusive rights for only $3 bill?
Dude...
For T2 and the SEC network that is already ESPNs. The 300m is just for the games CBS had. I don’t know how many more ways I can word this. It was even in the article you linked. Idk if you’re just really bad at math, but the SEC would be the lowest paid P5 with the numbers you believe to be true.Lol, so in 2013 ESPN agreed to pay the SEC $4 bill for a small amount of media rights, and then in 2020 got exclusive rights for only $3 bill?

Ah ok ok ok. That's why it seemed so baffling.They are all right here. The 300mil per year is espn taking over the CBS game in addition to all the other games they were paying for. So it’s their previous deal with espn, plus an additional 300mil per year after taking over the CBS game. That’s why each SEC school will be in the 60’s-70’s mil per range.
Ok, yeah, I mathed and readed bad. You were right. I was wrong.For T2 and the SEC network that is already ESPNs. The 300m is just for the games CBS had. I don’t know how many more ways I can word this. It was even in the article you linked. Idk if you’re just really bad at math, but the SEC would be the lowest paid P5 with the numbers you believe to be true.
The deal that ESPN and the SEC completed was before they got Texas and OU, that number will go up when those to join the SEC. Now ESPN and the SEC could have been working on the deal knowing that the two B12 schools were going to jump, but if the SEC had it all lined up, they would be silly not to get more money down the road, once the two join the conferenceYeah. ESPN is paying the SEC $3 bill for exclusive rights for 10 years... so $300 mill/year. Has nothing to do with "the slot CBS" had, ESPN now has exclusive rights and will be airing the sh*t out of SEC football. At a huge discount. You said the SEC is getting $7 bill for 10 years. Not even close.
What EIU thinks or does not think about ND does not matter, they are not Ohio St, Michigan and others that are not going to listen to what their opinion about ND joining the league matters. Do you really think that if EIU opposed ND joining that the league would turn them down? The B10 would tell EIU to "shut up, vote YES, and keep collecting your checks!" and EIU would do it.Like I said, ‘fan hate/rivalry hate’ is one thing. Do you think the Iowa administration or athletic department still ‘hates’ Notre Dame over that??
And it will be interesting when those BIG players decide to go on strike for more money and new corvettes.And the unions....![]()
I'm Irish....Pretty sure everyone has a little Irish in them.
