Radio, licensed merchandise, signage, etc. Virtually everything not under TV contract to ESPN and CBS. At least that's the way it reads to me. That bumps us another 3 million a year roughly from what we were already receiving for those rights.

Wow. Auburn gets as much for their radio and signage as the entire American Athletic Conference gets for their entire ESPN TV package (which includes 1rst, 2nd, and 3rd tier rights). That's really almost unbelievable.

Florida and Alabama get more. I'm not sure about Kentucky but they are up there too.

Yep, that's the power of brand. Auburn is more valuable than the entire AAC. That's just the way it is.

Its over dude. Wormer dropped the big one. There is gonna be 20 D1 programs. 6 in the SEC

All about Fox making moves. Georgetown has something similar with Fox Sports. Not sure the $$ figure tho.

Good for Auburn. The interesting part is that it is with Fox Sports. Most of these type of contracts are with IMG and or Learfield.
Is Fox new to this area of sports marketing?
BTW IMG is based in Winston-Salem, NC.

I think this serves as a good reminder of the difference between programs and conferences when we talk realignment on this board.

It's fun to throw names around but when you visualize the gap suddenly not everybody looks credible.

Not even relevant. Auburn prob makes more money than the big east and aac combined

Basketball just does not matter

Its over

It's basically the P5 and everybody else. I prefer watching everybody else. P5 looks like an imitation version of professional sports. JMHO.

It's almost like two different sports.

I enjoy watching some of the smaller programs play because they tend to be much more closely matched.

But, can you not be excited watching one's alma mater play and win?

Nobody is arguing that. My point is that I'm all in for Fox Sports because f*$# ESPN.

Nice work there Auburn, that's a nice little chunk of change!

What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when Houston won the National Championship last year? Hell no!

There is only so much you can do and buy. There is a point of diminishing returns. Not to mention, the more dough they show, the stronger the case for paying players is going to get. This will all come to a head probably sooner vs later and it wont be a P5-G5 split it'll be 20 or so programs that want to and can afford to formally disassociate from their institution and create a semi-professional league.

What does all of this money even do? This is a serious question. There comes a certain point where any additional football spending just gives you negligible results.

At $20m/year, you could probably buy everything that you really need to win more than you lose.

EDIT: I posted this just as Francis was saying the same thing, lol.
