Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 127

Mr. Laz · 02:57 PM

A source in St. Louis familiar with the situation told NewsCenter 16 Thursday afternoon that Missouri will leave the Big XII and soon join the Big 10. Other schools expected to follow the Tigers are Syracuse, Pitt, Rutgers and Nebraska.

Many have speculated that such an expansion would include Notre Dame but ND athletic director Jack Swarbrick told me today that the Irish prefer to stay independent in football and in the Big East for other sports. Swarbrick said maintaining football Independence is such a part of what Notre Dame is.

He went on to say the Big East is a great partner for the University in other sports.

"We do have to monitor what is going on," Swarbrick said. "There will be significant shifts. "Hopefully we can navigate them by keeping our football independent and keeping our Big East affiliation because that is what we care about."

The move of Syracuse, Pitt and Rutgers to the Big Ten from the Big East could categorically change the landscape of the Big East itself. Thus, what Swarbrick is referring to when stating the University must continue to monitor what is going on.

The interview with Swarbrick was done before the late afternoon announcement.

Where's that coming from? tennis??

It's obviously CBB.

Do you guys not fill out office pools or something? Why are you pretending basketball doesn't exist?

Are you disregarding the specific numbers I've just listed for KU? Football makes more money than basketball at KU. Fact.

It's certainly not all coming from basketball.

You didn't read my post. College basketball is making all it can.

College football isn't. There is more to be made based on cable television subscriptions. More people watch 11 games a year then they do 36 games per capita.

Getting the TV networks into cable subscriptions that's what it is. Why is this so hard to get?

MU is being invited for cable subscribers, not football. We've been over this.

MU is getting helped because of people living in Missouri. Many of which couldn't care less about the Tigers.

Just got this piece of news from the SEC office — the revenue distribution for the 2009-10 fiscal year. It will make every conference save the Big Ten jealous … or depressed.

Total: $209 million.

According to the league, that’s the highest total in SEC history and represents a 57.7 percent increase from the $132.5 million distributed in 2008-2009.

Average per school: $17.3 million.

That’s about double (maybe a bit more than double) what the Pac-10 distributes to its schools and does not include what the schools generate from their local media deals.

Football TV: $109.5 million.

(Big 12 is in the $60 million range, I believe, while the Pac-10 in the 40s.)

Bowls: $26.5 million.

Football championship game: $14.5 million.

(You can see why Pac-10 commish Larry Scott is looking into a title game of his own.)

Basketball TV: $30 million

SEC tournament: $5 million

NCAA tournament: $23.5 million.

I think you can consider yourself disregarded.

I don't know what those numbers are?

Are they after expenses?

Is that gross or net?

It's actually a lot like the ku fans that were calling in to 810 this afternoon:

"But our basketball program is top 5..."
"I can't fathom that we'd be left out with our basketball program..."
etc, etc, etc

The house and the parties were epic, my grades, however, were not.

Thus, I'm back in school many, many years later.

Ah, you were in the plush, upscale dorm. I was in Freddy...the ghetto. But we had a lot of fun there.

There were alot of those on 610 not understanding how this shit is working. Atleast the KU fans on here know wtf the deal is, $$$ period. "we got basketball" doesn't mean shit in this instance.

Over 14 years. To be split by ALL schools that identify as D-I basketball schools (there are over 300). Even with 100 percent PURE profit, that deal chips in a mere $2.5 million a year/team (on average).

10.8 billion is a nice number. But you have to put it into context to really understand it.

I "get it." I've "gotten it" for a long time.

I was at the forefront of people on this board talking about Big 10 expansion. I've been stumping from the beginning that this is a deal strictly about demographics and cable TV sets.
