Message: <blockquote data-quote="Buckaineer" data-source="post: 129496633" data-attributes="member: 1428007">To get back to earlier discussion about WVU's tier III deal with IMG--here are all the things covered under that agreement:Under the partnership, IMG College will manage things like local radio and TV broadcasts and coaches shows; websites and social media accounts; advertising on signage at Milan Puskar Stadium, the Coliseum and other athletic facilities; game day promotions and hospitality; and printed publications like schedules and media guides.further, the deal is for $80 million over 12 yearsThe agreement takes effect for the 2013-2014 academic year and will pay WVU more than $80 million over 12 years, with additional revenue sharing opportunities possible, officials said.<a href="http://www.wvillustrated.com/story/22816670/wvu-awards-tier-3-media-rights-to-img-college">http://www.wvillustrated.com/story/22816670/wvu-awards-tier-3-media-rights-to-img-college</a>But, as mentioned other schools in other conferences also get large sums of money for things like radio and internet rights the schools retain outside of television agreements.excerpt:In 2009, IMG guaranteed Ohio State $110 million over 10 years, but in 2012 Learfield signed two deals that may prove more relevant: a 10-year contract with N.C. State worth $49 million, and a seven-year deal with Wisconsin that pays $52.5 million.<a href="http://wvmetronews.com/2013/01/24/how-imgs-third-tier-deal-impacts-wvu/"></a><a href="http://wvmetronews.com/2013/01/24/how-imgs-third-tier-deal-impacts-wvu/">http://wvmetronews.com/2013/01/24/how-imgs-third-tier-deal-impacts-wvu/</a>So WVU isn't really getting a huge sum of money out of these deals above and beyond what they would get in a renegotiated radio/internet/etc. rights deal that didn't include basketball and football games.However, in an expanded BIG 12 that also includes a conference network--OU's president Boren has stated that the people studying their media deals current and potential have found that if WVU and the others were participating in a conference wide network rather than just their own tier 3 deals, each school would be getting $4 to $6 million more for tv.  Each year per school.  Plus, they could still make IMG type deals for other rights such as listed above under WVUs IMG agreement which could lead to an additional $4 to $5 million per school--at least what they get now for those rights and some schools could likely get much more.That sort of money is what's needed to keep up with the Big Ten and SEC contracts which in turn keeps schools content to remain where they are and keeps everyone stable.</blockquote>
