Memphis pres let it out that the Media contract renogotiations with ESPN have concluded and the contract details should be announced next week.
I’ve seen anything from 4M per school to 10M. Rumor has it that they asked for 10 and then couldn’t get it because they have no Grant of Rights deal. ESPN supposedly came back with 8. anything over 2 is an improvement.

Breakdown on the UC angle of the contract by Justin WIlliams this morning $
https://theathletic.com/990831/2019/...-the-bearcats/
Short version: We're sort of getting screwed because the distribution is equal between schools.

I’ve since found that the ESPN+ broadcasts will be done by the schools with assistance from ESPN. Looks like the Crew from BearcatsTV will be doing the production. Matt Noonan’s going to be busy.

Twelve years is a long time in this day of shifting media outlets. I seriously doubt that the makeup of the conference members will look close to what it does now by the midpoint of this contract, since no GOR agreement was included.

That's the only way they're going to dig ESPN out of the hole left by cord cutters ditching the cable business model they relied on for so long.
Disney is about to add a bunch of streaming options to the media pool beyond ESPN+ and Apple is getting into the streaming market on Monday as a competitor to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. I'm guessing that everyone will need a fast internet connection and a Live TV streaming service, Live Sports service and Movie/TV show service going forward plus premium add-ons like HBO, etc if you want them.
Either way, the increase of revenue without the Grant-of-Rights has to be viewed as a win-win for the school\conference.

I ponied up the fees so that I could watch other games of interest to me. At least ESPN+ includes premium article content that used to be in ESPN Insider, so there's that (not much, but beats a blank).

Details are rolling out now. 5M raise for UC in 2020. ESPN will have all but a few games in basketball and football including non rev sports.
Here’s the bad part. Games which do not land ABC, ESPN, 2, and U or a small package of games on CBS(Navy) will be pushed to ESPN+. This is a subscription streaming service currently at 4.99/month. So for those game that might have been on ESPN3 or CBSSN in the past, you now have to pay for.Last edited by Lobot; 03-19-2019, 05:03 PM.
