Greg Sankey got out played big time

Pretty much. Sankey has been very unimpressive the last few years to say the least.

I bet that coaches thread has been fun lately with all of this stuff lately

We will see what the payout difference is when the Big10 releases its 2025 #s later on. SEC schools getting a total of about 73 million each this year. The TV rights stuff is temporary. You look at the ratings. In 2033-2034 the SEC Network deal and the ESPN/ABC TV deal expire in the same year. ESPN/ABC will be ponying up massive money.

Big 10 has navigated the new landscape better than the SEC by all appearances. 9 game conference schedule will only further set the SEC back. 12 team playoff and current NIL regime shifts the balance of power north.

Moved to 9 game conference schedule and 10 P4 games just for the BIG 10 to cancel games and pay tiny schools to beat instead. The TV deal being 300 million a year for the conference while the Big 10s is 7 years 7 billion is worrying. They can throw around a lot of money

Is this correct? SEC splits 300 million among member institutions annually from tv and the Big 10 splits a billion? Holy Schit

SEC was 10 years 3 billion Big 10 was 7 years 7 billion Totally outplayed with this deal. By the time the SEC deal is up, the Big 10 will be on another contract with more money

The ESPN deal when we came from CBS is just part of the overall media deals the SEC has. The SEC distributed $808 million to member institutions for the 2023-24 fiscal year. I couldn't find recent numbers, but they are likely higher.

What pisses me off is the big ten said when we go to 9 it would then agree to 16 team playoff and still didn’t do it.

Sankey sucks

Kang is correct. the 300M annually was just for the old CBS #1 SEC game each week. there is a larger SEC ABC deal that covers all of the other SEC games in total the SEC TV money is a bit less but within a few percentage points as the Big10 set a record deal across networks. The Big10 will re-up and get a raise first as well (3-4 years earlier).

Yeah that’s good to hear. Just seems weird to call it a 10 year 3 billion dollar deal if the yearly compensation is 800 million. Like why such a gap? Wouldn’t you want to pump the numbers up to sound as big as possible?

I just saw they announced $1B of distribution earlier this month, split between the 14 main teams Looks like Texas and OU didn’t get a share for the 24-25 year.

Sankey is the worst commissioner we've had in a long time.

Ok so I do see now that 800 million number you mention. Just seems weird to announce a deal 10 years 3 billion if you are giving out almost a billion per year in distributions.

I mean he’s just a puppet. Anger should be at the schools. They make the decisions. He didn’t hold a gun to their heads
