DirecTV Expects to Offer SEC Network Soon

The SEC Network is set for one of the most successful sports network launches in history now that DirecTV, the nation's largest satellite company, emailed Outkick that the company is "quite hopeful" and "expects to be able to provide the network soon." The public comments of DirecTV square with the private comments of SEC and ESPN executives, who are confident that a deal is near as well. DirecTV, which has over twenty million satellite subscribers, carries the Big Ten Network, but does not carry the Pac 12 Network The satellite company has, at times, engaged in contentious negotiations with content providers in an effort to keep costs lower. Its primary competitor in the satellite arena, Dish Network, became the first national satellite company to sign on for the network several months ago.

DirecTV's negotiations with the SEC Network are part of a larger negotiation with the other ESPN networks, and while it is unclear exactly when those deals will all be finalized, it's a significant pick-up for the SEC Network and SEC fans across the country, especially for those fans who hadn't wanted to go through the hassle of changing providers. In conjunction with Outkick's previous report that Comcast and the SEC Network are near an agreement, this would mean that every major cable and satellite company -- excluding Time Warner, which has remained fairly quiet so far -- would carry the SEC Network, allowing ESPN and the SEC to hit their goal of roughly 75 million cable and satellite subscribers at launch.

At 75 million subscribers, the SEC Network, which reportedly sought $1.30 a month per subscriber in the 11 state SEC footprint and .25 cents per subscriber outside the SEC states, is poised to do revenue of $369.6 million off the 28 million cable and satellite households in the SEC states. (That's assuming the network ended up averaging $1.10 per month in those households, roughly 20% less than the reported asking price.) Toss in an additional $141 million from the other 47 million cable and satellite households from outside SEC states, and you're talking about $510.6 million in revenue. Add in a quarter more in advertising revenue -- roughly the same percentages as ESPN receives -- and you get an additional $127.65 million. That's a total of $638.25 million.

While there will doubtless be launch and programming costs and we don't know the exact breakdown of the revenue share between the SEC and ESPN, Outkick has been operating on the assumption that both sides will split the money evenly. Given that the colleges don't have to pay taxes on their TV revenue, we're talking about roughly $319.25 million for the SEC, or in the neighborhood of $20 million a school. Combine that with the $20 million that the SEC already distributes to member institutions and you're talking about $40 million or more in television revenue in the near future, half of which will come from the SEC Network.

That's all before the rates begin to rise. (Many popular regional sports networks cost $3 or $4 a year. The SEC Network's ratings will dwarf stations that cost three or four times what it does). The SEC and ESPN gambled that SEC fans would demand that every major cable and satellite subscriber carry their network. Baseball may not be a featured sport in terms of driving fan interest, but with DirecTV on board the SEC Network is officially a home run, poised to become one of the most successful sports network launches in history.

SEC Network Aims for $500 Million a Year Launch

It's also why the SEC will eventually have a team in the states of North Carolina and Virginia, it's the network math, stupid.

In addition to adding two states, the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri added roughly ten million cable and satellite subscribers to the SEC's footprint.

Now the 14 team, 11 state SEC, has right at 30 million cable and satellite subscribers.

So what's that going to be worth to the league?

Well, that depends on what the SEC Network is seeking from cable and satellite carriers.

Prior to now I've just been guessing based on assessing the overall marketplace.

And now Sports Business Journal has the SEC's rate card.

The SEC is asking $1.30 in the 11 state SEC footprint.

That's 30 percent more than the Big Ten Network gets in its footprint after seven years of existence.

So, remember when I told you that the SEC Network was poised to blow college television fees out of the water?

It's happening.

Multiply this $1.30 per month carriage fee request times the number of cable and satellite subscribers in the SEC's footprint -- 30 million -- and you've got nearly $400 million from the SEC alone.

That would be $28.5 million per team just from the SEC Network's money in the SEC.

That number doesn't include advertising money or the additional .25 cents per subscriber that the network is seeking from the other 39 states. (We also don't know what the revenue share will be between the SEC and ESPN either, but now you can start to see why the SEC Network is such a gamechanger.)

Right now the SEC teams make around $20 million each from television.

So at an absolute bare minimum the SEC Network is going to double television revenue for each school.

It's also important to keep in mind that this is just the start, those numbers are going to rise.

Regional sports networks actually cost quite a bit more than $1.30 per subscriber. (RSN's are the providers that carry your local games in market. The Fox Sports regionals or the CSN's of the world. Many of them cost over $3 a month.)

At $2 a month -- a number that will certainly be hit over the next decade -- the SEC Network would bring in $720 million a year just from the 11 state SEC footprint.

At $3 a month -- a number that's also not unrealistic -- the SEC Network would go over a billion dollars in revenue just from the 11 state footprint.

Again, none of these revenue figures even count what the league could make from the other 39 states or from advertising.

What's that worth?

Figure in another $100 million -- for roughly 40 million additional subscribers in the rest of the country at .25 cents a pop..

Then how about advertising?

Presently about a third of ESPN's overall revenue comes from advertising. Being conservative you could peg advertising revenue at a quarter of the overall subscriber revenue that the SEC Network will generate. That alone would be worth around $100 million a year.

So we're talking the SEC Network launching -- if they win the carrier battles -- with north of $500 million a year in revenue. (If the SEC got everything perfect, the first year number counting in-footprint, advertising, and out of footprint -- would be right at $600 million)

For those of you who want to focus on profit as opposed to revenue -- it's huge.

The SEC Network's costs are going to be relatively small since most programming will be fairly cheap. (Most programming will be just putting on existing sporting events. Toss in four hours a day of Paul Finebaum's radio show and a nightly highlights show, which is among the cheapest possible programming, and you're talking about money rolling in.)

This is going to be a total gamechanger for college athletics.

The best part?

The average SEC fan will only be paying $15.60 for over 45 games.

Remember when you used to pay $50 for crappy pay-per-view games?

Those games don't exist anymore.

You'll actually be saving nearly $35 a year to watch your team play every game. Plus, you'll get every football game that every SEC team plays in the process.

Get ready for the carriage battles with Comcast and Time Warner.

It's going to be a wild fall.

But the SEC is officially about to make it rain.

It appears to be on their regular cable network as well.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...work/12831855/

The footprint is growing. In its biggest deal yet, ESPN has agreed to terms with Comcast Cable to carry the SEC Network. That means it will be available to 46 million households nationwide when the network launches Aug. 14.

So far Comcast (20 million subscribers), Dish Network (14 million), Cox Communications (6 million), AT&T U-verse (5.7 million) and Google Fiber have signed on to carry SEC Network.

DirecTV (20 million) and Time Warner Cable (11 million) are still in discussions but do not have deals done.

Comcast offers cable throughout Kentucky, though not in Louisville in Lexington, where Time Warner Cable is the provider.

As part of its agreement with ESPN, Comcast will also make SEC Network available on its digital platforms, including the Xfinity TV Go app and website, WatchESPN and SECNetwork.com, with the ability to watch the network live and on-demand any time on any device.

"We are extremely pleased to have reached this agreement with ESPN to deliver the SEC Network to Xfinity TV customers on multiple platforms," Comcast executive Matt Strauss said in a news release. "Whether in the home or on the go, Xfinity TV customers will be able to watch their favorite Southeastern Conference teams in more ways than ever before."

Disney and ESPN Media Networks senior vice president Sean Breen said the new SEC Network "continues to attract great demand from consumers across the country and adds significant value for our affiliates leading up to the national network's launch next month."

The SEC Network will air more than 1,000 live events in the first year, including 45 exclusive SEC football games, 100 men's basketball games, 60 women's basketball games and 75 baseball games.

I notified Pitt that his story was false. All he had to do was say "Oh, I guess that's interesting. Retracted then". Instead he went on some rant blaming Fox News. He could correct his mistake but he chose not to.

Comcast will carry the channel at its Aug. 14 launch on its expanded basic tier within SEC territory and digital basic outside of it. Sources say the channel's rate card is at $1.40 per subscriber per month within the SEC's 11-state footprint and $0.25 per month outside of it. The deal leaves DirecTV and Time Warner Cable as the only two major distributors without a deal, though sources said that both companies expect to have a deal in place by the channel's first football game on Aug. 28. It is unusual for so many carriage deals to be cut on a new, expensive channel four weeks before launch. The Comcast deal pushes SEC Network's distribution footprint to 46 million homes, including carriage on AT&T, Cox and Dish Network.

That's not the fans perspective. At least not mine. I'd love to start up the mu series again. KU Football needs all the wins it can get.

No sane CFB fan is going to give up a 50% win percentage against an opponent. And that's what KU has against MU. Why would you want to lose those wins?

DALLAS
A female official will work a Big 12 football game for the first time this season, and it will happen in the Sunflower State.

Catherine Conti will be part of the officiating team when Kansas opens the year against Southeast Missouri State on Sept. 6 at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence.

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby announced the news Monday during a state-of-the-conference address at the conference’s football media days.

Conti is an experienced line judge with dreams of working in the NFL.

Bowlsby said he was proud to add Conti to the Big 12’s officiating team. He thinks her appearance should help other aspiring female officials chase their dreams, but he also thinks she is good at her job.

“She’s a darn good official,” Bowlsby said. “It’s a good opportunity for her and for us.”

Emmanuel Mudiay, former SMU basketball commit, agrees to $1.2 million deal to play in China

Quote:

Emmanuel Mudiay has agreed to a $1.2 million contract with Guangdong of the China Basketball Association, the richest overseas contract ever for a high school player, a source told Yahoo Sports.

Mudiay, a 6-foot-5 guard, is considered a lottery pick in the Class of 2015. With the Chinese season ending in March, Mudiay's plan will be to return to the United States and use the remaining few months to prepare for the 2015 draft in June, a source said. Mudiay has also taken out insurance policies to protect him in China against injury that could impact his future earnings, a source said.

Play for free in NCAA or take a million bucks for go overseas for a few months?

If American Football seriously caught on in other parts of the world like basketball has this could be an issue for CFB as well.

Fortunately for fans I think there are simply so many good players nowadays that although Mudiay is a pleasure to watch he isn't going to be missed all that much. Good luck

SEC Network Poised to Be Fifth Most Lucrative Sports Channel In Country

I've been writing about the coming value of the SEC Network for years now.

Years ago I told you it would be a gamechanger for college athletics, but despite my optimistic outlook this channel is actually going to be even more successful than even I imagined. With the recent announcement that the SEC Network had been picked up by Comcast and Outkick's news that DirecTV would be carrying the network, it's clear that the SEC Network will reach its stated distribution goal of right at 75 million cable and satellite households.

But ESPN and the SEC may be making even more money off the subscription fee than even I've been forecasting. According to the Sports Business Journal Comcast will be paying $1.40 per month in the 11 state SEC footprint.

There are roughly 28 million cable and satellite subscribers in the 11 state SEC footprint and another 47 million outside the SEC. Those cable and satellite subscribers outside the footprint will be paying just .25 a month.

So the vast majority of the SEC Network money will be coming from SEC fans, which makes total sense. If we accept an average value of $1.40 a month inside the SEC states -- I'd previously projecting around $1.10 -- and .25 outside the SEC states, the SEC Network would do $611 million in revenue off subscription fees alone.

I'm going to dive into this number later this week to talk about what it means for the individual SEC schools, but for purposes of this article I decided to contextualize that revenue within the overall sports TV marketplace. (If you want to be more conservative and say they'll average $1.25 in the footprint that's still $541 million).

I contacted SNL Kagan and asked them to provide me with the average cost per subscriber per month for every major national network. Here was the information they provided me. (Note, the SEC Network and Pac 12 Networks are my own numbers based on published reports).

Cost per month for each sports channel per SNL Kagan. (The rankings are also mine):

1. ESPN $6.04 or $72.48 a year

2. NFL Network $1.22 or $14.64 a year

3. Pac 12 Network .80 or $9.60 a year

4. ESPN2 .74 or $8.88 a year

5. SEC Network .68 or $8.16 a year

5. FS1 .68 or $8.16 a year

7. Big Ten Network .38 or $4.56 a year

8. NBATV .27 or $3.24 a year

9. NBC Sports Network .27 or $3.24 a year

10. CBS Sports Network .25 or $3 a year

11. ESPN News .23 or $2.76 a year

12. ESPN Classic .21 or $2.52 a year

13. ESPNU .21 or $2.52 a year

(The Pac 12 Network cost looks way out of line, but it makes more sense when you consider that it's not very widely available. Meaning the average cost is driven up by availabiilty in its target markets).

But then you have to plug in the number of cable or satellite subscribers who are paying for each of these channels. After all, some channels are better distributed than others.

When you do that the order changes quite a bit:

1. ESPN: 97 million households $7 billion

2. NFL Network: 72 million households $1.05 billion

3. ESPN2: 97 million households $861.4 million

4. FS1: 88 million households $718.8 million

5. SEC Network: 75 million households $611 million

6. NBC Sports Network: 80 million households $259.2 million

7. Pac 12 Network: 26 million households $249.6 million

8. Big Ten Network: 52 million households $237.1 million

9. ESPN News: 75 million households $207 million

10. NBATV: 60 million households $194.4 million

11. ESPNU: 75 million households $189 million

12. CBS Sports Network: 53 million households $159 million

13. ESPN Classic: 31 million households $78.1 million

Look at that revenue drop off after the top five sports networks. It's extraordinary. The SEC Network is poised to bring in more revenue than the Big Ten Network and the Pac 12 Network combined, with $120 million more to spare on top of that.

Holy hell.

When you factor in advertising -- which typically runs around a quarter of revenue at other ESPN properties -- ESPN and the SEC have almost created an $800 million network. Indeed, add up all the revenue streams here and ESPN is going to be poised to do nearly nine billion dollars just in subscriber fees. Good lord.

And how about the NFL Network?

Now that CBS is going to be airing its Thursday night NFL games, how in the world can that fee be justified? The NFL Network is by far the worst deal for sports fans on this list.

My point in putting all this out here -- the SEC Network is going to be even bigger and more successful than I thought. The SEC Network is now the most successful new sports cable launch and it's still a month away from the launch. And, amazingly, most fans and media still haven't realized the impact it's going to have.

You thought the SEC had a competitive advantage before?

You ain't seen nothing yet.

It will be interesting to see what Mizzou can do with their football program when they're pulling in 40+ mil. per year in revenue distribution (if not this year, probably next . . .)

Guess that move to the SEC wasn't so bad after all . . . .
