I think Inside will go to Amazon. NBC is putting a bunch of games on NBC (Tuesday nights, I believe) and they can't have Inside on after games bc of local news. Sure they could put Inside on Peacock but I doubt the audience would hold. Prime however can go all night with Inside which is what has made it so successful on TNT.

on the subject of "rights," the Big 12 is working with Allstate to see conference naming rights to them (The Allstate 12 Conference) and CUSA is also seeking a sponsor (probably some local gas station in Alabama is the best they could get). I guess that's the next frontier for the commercializing of college sports. What would be a good naming rights partner for the Big East? It's only a matter of time. :'(

The Big East is set to unveil new six-year media-rights agreements with Fox Sports, NBC Sports and TNT Sports, per sources
Longtime partner CBS and the conference could not find a path to a 4th package.
"The Big East is on the cusp of formally signing a new set of six-year media rights pacts as soon as this week with Fox, NBC and TNT that will begin with the 2025-26 school year (taking it through the 2031-32 term), sources tell SBJ. Financial terms were still being finalized at presstime, but sources noted the conference will see a significant rights fee uptick."
Beat me to it. Disapointed CBS could not be in the mix.
Fox will continue as the lead "A" network in the new deal, as it had previously when it initially signed on with the Big East prior to the 2013-14 school year. Sources tell SBJ the rankings for selections of games have already been decided among the conference's new media partners.
The numbers don't quite add up yet. 2026-2032 would be 7 years.

I don't see it. While FOX will have the "A" package and they will be picking the top games and have the most games by paying the most, there is now other media partners in NBC & TNT. FOX is picking up the Big 12 in 2025. While the amount of games we still don't know, one could guess anywhere from 25 to 50 games, to off set the loss of Pac-12 (22 games) and maybe around (50) games from the Big East on these new TV deals.

The League will have to keep performing well on the court. Winning solves a lot of problems.
If there ever was a mistake made by the BE leadership, it was tying themselves to a 12-year deal in 2013. With so many unknowns at the time, it is a minor critique in the long-term of things, but power conferences keep short-term TV deals because the value of live sports programming continues to sky rocket over time. By renegotiating once, possibly twice, per decade, it guarantees the opportunity to negotiate for market value. IMO, the two gravest mistakes in conference media rights over the past decade are 1) the ACC TV contract and 2) the AAC TV contract. The ACC is locked into a long-term, below market, deal until 2036; it sacrificed, at the time, long-term market value for near term security and stability - which ironically has caused irrefutable division within the league and has multiple members seeing a way out to earn more. The AAC TV deal, which caused UConn to finally bolt, also is another long-term TV deal until 2032 (but signed in 2020). Both conference packages are below market, but there's nothing that its membership can do about it (having chosen the security of ESPN association).
Having a short-term deal that is up before the NCAAT contract (is another extremely undervalued property) is a smart thing, IMO. The Big East is not going to be excluded, given that the tournament is expanding and that we have the most championships in the past decade.

It's an interesting choice. Ends a year before the current NCAA deal runs out. The Big Ten will need a new deal in 2030 that will set the standard, then the B12 & Big East come up in 2031. Either way, better than the ACC waiting until 2036 lol.

I actually think it was the right move at the time. I wouldn't want them to do it again, but it guaranteed more than a decade of stability for a league ESPN pronounced dead.
It proved to be great business for Fox, getting four national champions in that stretch and a stronger league than probably anyone thought at the time, but it also gave us the stability to be in a stronger bargaining position now.
You could probably question the length of the deal in retrospect, but people need to remember how much uncertainty surrounded the C7 break away at the time. There wasn't a single soul here who questioned that Fox deal at the time. They needed the certainty.

The contract accomplished what the conference needed most in 2013: stability. This was the period where ESPN was really,
really trying to void the Big East contract with MSG for the ACC and the Big Ten Tournament in New York (remember that?) was not far behind. A short term deal would have raised questions about where the Big East was headed by 2017 or 2018; at that point, no one had Villanova penciled in for two national championships.

Nice summary of what the landscape was for the C7/NBE back then. I suspect other scoopers would admit, as I will freely, that they were pretty scared about whether the new conference would survive as a major league.

Yeah, if I remember right, the length was looked at as a win due to having some security. Also, I'm not sure Fox would have wanted a short deal as they needed to solidify a base and programming. A shorter deal where the Big East jumps to ESPN probably would not have helped their brand.
Weren't they transitioning the speed channel to FS1 at the time too? Yeah we were all very happy to get that contract. It was paying more than any other basketball leagues contract was, and more than some group of 5 leagues at the time.

https://www.bigeast.com/news/2024/6/27/general-big-east-announces-new-media-rights-agreement.aspx
The new agreement, which will span from 2025-26 through 2030-31, encompasses coverage on FOX Sports (FOX, FS1, FS2), NBC Sports (NBC, Peacock) and TNT Sports (TNT, TBS, truTV and Max).
FOX Sports will feature at least 80 BIG EAST men's and women's basketball contests across the regular season and postseason beginning in 2025-26.
Peacock will launch its coverage of BIG EAST men's basketball in 2024-25 with a package of 25 regular season games and five early round and quarterfinal conference tournament games. Beginning with the 2025-26 season, Peacock and NBC Sports will present more than 60 men's and women's regular season and BIG EAST Tournament games.
TNT Sports will feature more than 65 regular season BIG EAST basketball games airing on TNT – as its primary network – along with TBS, truTV and Max, beginning with the 2025-26 season.
Thanks, Mr. N.
So a little Peacock next season, but the deal doesn't really kick in until 2025-26.

The ACC, through Disney, actively sought means for MSG to break the contract, which fell short. It's the least of their worries now, of course, but the league has signed a deal with the state of North Carolina to hold the tournament in Greensboro or Charlotte each year through 2029.
The 2024 ACC tournament was held at the always spacious Capital One Arena, much of which drew poorly:

Sportico reportedly that the estimates are $75 to $80 million annually, which would come out to between $6.8-$7.3 million over the life of the deal. I'd guess it starts at $6.8 million in 2025-26 and concludes with $7.3 million in 2031-2032. If we are to continue to operate under the belief that the basketball value of a television contract is about 20% of a full rights package (namely football), that would put us firmly in the ACC/Big 12 range of payouts, but obviously behind the Big Ten and SEC. The Big 12 is up again in 2031 (one year before the Big East) and the ACC isn't concluding until 2036.

CBS Sports is out.
Peacock starts this season. Peacock will launch its coverage of BIG EAST men's basketball in 2024-25 with a package of 25 regular season games and five early round and quarterfinal conference tournament games.
Women's basketball will really benfit being gone from Flo Sports.
Thanks. And agree.

Sounds like a great deal. Firmly in the P5 financial zone.
But, I'm sure Dayton and the A10 will blow us away when they come up for renewal. ;D

One source suggests to Front Office Sports that the league will see an increase of around 30% to 40% on the average annual value of the current deal. The existing package averages about $41.7 million per year, so the future deal could be worth in the $55 million range annually, divided among the league's 11 schools.
So going from about $3.7 M per school to $5.5 M per school. That's just a tick north of inflation.
Basically its slightly better than an inflation adjusted deal. So good, but not great.

I'll take the Sportico report, thank you very much. ;)
From John Ourand,
All told, starting with the 2025-26 season, the Big East will see its rights revenue double to an average of around $80 million per year, from the $41 million the conference receives now.

Where is the $50 M that was talked about elsewhere? Does that include the tournament credits?

2 reports: $80M
1 report: $55M
I like the score card.
Maybe Crystal Ball can weigh in?

I don't think they contradict each other. Sounds like the $55M just represents the Fox payments, the $80M is the total.

The new agreement, which will span from 2025-26 through 2030-31, encompasses coverage on FOX Sports (FOX, FS1, FS2), NBC Sports (NBC, Peacock) and TNT Sports (TNT, TBS, truTV and Max).
FOX Sports will feature at least 80 BIG EAST men's and women's basketball contests across the regular season and postseason beginning in 2025-26.
Peacock will launch its coverage of BIG EAST men's basketball in 2024-25 with a package of 25 regular season games and five early round and quarterfinal conference tournament games. Beginning with the 2025-26 season, Peacock and NBC Sports will present more than 60 men's and women's regular season and BIG EAST Tournament games.
TNT Sports will feature more than 65 regular season BIG EAST basketball games airing on TNT – as its primary network – along with TBS, truTV and Max, beginning with the 2025-26 season.
The real question is how many Marquette games will be on MAX and Peacock to make a subscription worth it just for viewing a few games.

Very, very happy to see this. It drove me nuts that they
couldn't wouldn't find some way to roll up CBSSN with Paramount Plus.
I jumped on the recent "year of Peacock for $20" deal, thinking mostly of the Olympics and Packers-Eagles in Brazil. Nice to get my first year of Big East on The Bird thrown in as well.

Makes sense. Just the quote about $55M did not indicate Fox only or Fox at all, just "the package" value.

Not sure you can really trust someone who wears a batting helmet in the field.

I don't think there have been any "stand alone" sports on Max yet. Maybe a random US soccer game? Peacock is $60 a year, which is 2 tickets to an MU game, well worth it.
Plus the WWE Network is on Peacock. You can't put a price on that.

And you get all of the PPVs. Ever. WCW and ECW too.
I will say the original standalone WWE Network created by MLBAM was significantly better. Every match or segment for every event was searchable and bookmarked. All went away when they moved to Peacock.

It's still real to me.
I mean yes "pro wrestling" is loosely scripted, and a match's winner is generally determined beforehand, its better to think of it as stunt show with narrative elements.
It's not for everybody, but it can be a pretty good time. Just don't, y'know, try to gamble on it or anything.

As a 90s kid, whose parents would never spring for a PPV, I had to wait months to watch them when they would come the video store. The fact that I can watch one now with about 5 clicks on the remote is still amazing. It's super nostalgic, to me anyway.

I feel like you are in challenge mode today Skat. I don't believe in sin. Only right and wrong. And if you want to watch men wrestle with or without underwear - have at it. But make sure they're men (>18). You'll be thrown in jail otherwise.

I'm just making jokes. I'm very funny, you see. Everyone says so.
Didn't know if this was posted anywhere, but the president of NBC Sports Rick Cordella played basketball at Providence. He was on the 97 team. Don't know if it meant anything with the new contract, but probably didn't hurt.

Listening to that game on the radio was my first Marquette memory at age 7. Brutal.
I don't pretend to understand the media side of things, but if TNT has the rights to the NCAA tourney, and TNT picked up 65 Big East games, and Barkley just announced he's staying with TNT...all good sign for MU and the Big East?
