We've been talking on our message board a lot about increased exposure and $$ when we move up, but I don't know if I've ever seen a reputable answer to these questions and I figured some of you guys might know.

What is the SB's tv and/or media contract like currently? How much and for how long? How much is each school's take? I'm not talking about bowl tie-ins, just media dollars.

I appreciate it, look forward to playing you guys next year and beyond.

Internet, the Google... we all haz it...

Not trying to be a jerk but really 95% of questions can be typed verbatim into Google and your answer will pop out if you spend like 3 minutes looking for it. It took more time to register for this message board than it would have to find information that points you in the right direction. What's that stuff about teaching a man to fish etc...

Now this article obviously is dated and the contract has to be changed because there are new players but it give a clear idea of what the contract and exposure looks like and it's a whole lot more than we ever got from the SoCon.

Welcome to the board btw. Really I'm not trying to be a jerk I just wish people would do more baseline research in general.

It has been a few months probably, but I never found anything very recent or official looking, and I'm a pretty good googler (at least I think I am). Anyway, I'll take a look at the article you posted, and thanks to everyone for your responses.

Guaranteed a small number of exposures on ESPN/ESPN2 and another set on ESPNU. The Sun Belt Network deal (CSS/CST primarily) is basically no money but is generally Saturday games.

You are free to telecast your own games as long as they are not distributed outside of states with a Sun Belt teams or states bordering one of those states. Your telecasts cannot be shown head-to-head against Sun Belt home games telecast on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/CSS/CST

A million per year per school or a million per year for the conference ?

To my knowledge when we were in the Belt there wasn't an agreement with ESPN that paid 1 million per school. Not trolling just wanting to get some clarification as you usually seem to know what is going on.

Georgia Southern currently does a top notch web broadcast. Would we be required to provide that for ESPN3? Not saying that's a bad thing at all, just trying to figure out the legalese.

The MAC report was an error counting CFP money. Both leagues get a bit less than $100,000 per team.

You can do it like you do now but if you are putting good money into it, you might as well distribute via ESPN3.

Heck, if you found a TV station in say Savannah that wanted to broadcast all of your home games that weren't picked up via the SBC Television contract it would work out. The only rule is that the feed cant go out of the general Sun Belt Region, and must be made available via ESPN 3 for the rest of the country, and that you didn't start the game opposite a televised SBC home game.

ASU has gotten games televised statewide in Arkansas thanks to this deal.

The only downside would be a situation like WKU had, where the school had a separate deal with Fox Sports. Much to the chagrin of Hilltopper fans, they had to drop that contract because Fox wouldn't make the gave available via ESPN3. At least that is my rough understanding of what happened.
