TV contracts
Looks like we are going to find out very soon about the BigTen contract. If this comes out to be true and the BigTen signs with Fox, NBC and CBS. That leaves ESPN as the big bidder for the PAC and Big12.

RE: TV contracts
This should be interesting, especially if the top 8 in both the PAC and Big 12 form a brand new conference.

If this comes to pass, does the AAC take UCF, Cincy and UH back and kick the CUSA teams out?

Not happening. The bigger question is how much money will be left to bid on PAC and Big12

No, the AAC needs to keep up, 20 is a nice round number.

RE: TV contracts
Looks like ESPN is out from Big Ten. BT wanted a 7 year 380 million deal.

https://twitter.com/ourand_sbj/status/15...2Z-0PW3M-Q

If true then we know ABC/ ESPN have SEC and ACC to fill their ABC/ ESPN schedules with the American having access to some ABC/ ESPN contract. You figure they will now go for PAC to get the late ESPN slots and probably offer them a few ABC/ ESPN slots at 7:30 pm.

We now have to see what CBS, NBC, and FOX get from BT and what’s left for Big12

Outside of comments by Aresco, has anyone seen anything in black and white regarding the charges to the AAC contract. I know there are half shares for the CUSA teams and same share for left behinds. My question is, did anything else charge regarding exposure and certain TV carriages? Is it possible that in exchange for keeping the same payout, the AAC gets more on ESPN+ and less on traditional cable/OTA?

No. AAC got as part of their contract at least 20 games a year on ABC,ESPN, ESPN2 and at least 40 if you add ESPNU.
So more likely at the end of the day AAC will get worst case.
20 ESPNU games
The other 20 mostly ESPN2
A few ESPN games probably Thursday or Friday
An ABC game or ESPN Saturday if one of our schools is hosting a big name program like USF hosting Alabama

I understand that this is what was in the contract when it was originally made. However, the contract did in fact open up when Aresco was negotiating to avoid haircuts for the existing left behind members. Has anybody asked whether any other part of the contract changed as a result of this? I am under no illusion that the mouse did that favor for the AAC out of the goodness of their heart and feel like they would have used that as leverage to give up something else......mainly carriage obligations.

Does anyone know for certain? Has anyone in the media ever asked this question to Aresco? Has he ever mentioned it? It seems to me that everyone was always up in arms about money, but this very important detail could have been swept under the carpet...... for good reason too.

The contract remained the same, the only thing that changed was that there are now 14 mouths to feed rather than 11. I’m not going to search around but I remember reading somewhere were he said the AAC was able to maintain same access.

Correct and even 7:30 PM has rarely being covered by CBS or NBC unless it would be a big game. Doubt you will see a run of the mill weekly game by them in those time slots.

Has anybody asked whether any other part of the contract changed as a result of this? I am under no illusion that the mouse did that favor for the AAC out of the goodness of their heart and feel like they would have used that as leverage to give up something else......mainly carriage obligations.

Does anyone know for certain? Has anyone in the media ever asked this question to Aresco? Has he ever mentioned it? It seems to me that everyone was always up in arms about money, but this very important detail could have been swept under the carpet...... for good reason too.

Plus with the news today that ESPN is not going to get BT games, it makes it less likely that they will try to limit AAC games on ESPN2

I agree about ESPN2, but I was more interested in the ABC and ESPN games

Honestly might get better access without them having B1G content to show on there.

You may be right depending on what happens with PAC and Big 12. I think for AAC, the best scenario is Fox winning out for Big 12. Whatever happens with PAC doesnt mean much because there is less overlap for time slots due to the time zones. However, others on this board such as JRSec, who seems to have called this entire scenario from a mile away, feels ESPN may go hard for Big 12 to block Fox from the SE and SW, in which case this takes more mouse TV slots.

If true then we know ABC/ ESPN have SEC and ACC to fill their ABC/ ESPN schedules with the American having access to some ABC/ ESPN contract. You figure they will now go for PAC to get the late ESPN slots and probably offer them a few ABC/ ESPN slots at 7:30 pm.

We now have to see what CBS, NBC, and FOX get from BT and what’s left for Big12

Outside of comments by Aresco, has anyone seen anything in black and white regarding the charges to the AAC contract. I know there are half shares for the CUSA teams and same share for left behinds. My question is, did anything else charge regarding exposure and certain TV carriages? Is it possible that in exchange for keeping the same payout, the AAC gets more on ESPN+ and less on traditional cable/OTA?

No. AAC got as part of their contract at least 20 games a year on ABC,ESPN, ESPN2 and at least 40 if you add ESPNU.
So more likely at the end of the day AAC will get worst case.
20 ESPNU games
The other 20 mostly ESPN2
A few ESPN games probably Thursday or Friday
An ABC game if one of our schools is hosting a big name program like USF hosting Alabama

I understand that this is what was in the contract when it was originally made. However, the contract did in fact open up when Aresco was negotiating to avoid haircuts for the existing left behind members. Has anybody asked whether any other part of the contract changed as a result of this?

The contract remained the same, the only thing that changed was that there are now 14 mouths to feed rather than 11. I’m not going to search around but I remember reading somewhere were he said the AAC was able to maintain same access.

Correct, its the same.

Actually, Big 10 just changed the landscape. The value of live content just went up. The AAC deal is now undervalued again.

Renegotiating the tv deal would actually benefit the AAC now.

ESPN knew that then, that's why ESPN just let the contract remain the same.
