Where are you getting 1.67?

My estimates are 21mm from ESPN per year (126mm over 6 years) and 2mm from CBS.

This is split over 11 members (Navy doesn't join until 2015 and even then keeps their own home tv deal for a couple years before they'd be integrated into a renegotiated deal) and comes out to 2.09mm per school.
The 126 mil is over a 7 year period (see below), thus 18 mil per year plus the 2 mil equals 20 mil which I divided by 12 schools. Yes, we won't have 12 schools the whole time, but it is an approximation of the payout per school. If the CBS deal is actually 3 mil, then the per shcool approximation for 12 schools is 1.75...minus conference expenses.

FYI. From the article at the beginning of this thread:
The conference and ESPN announced a seven-year, $126 million contract last month, keeping the network as the league's primary rights holder.

I see where you got that but you missed a couple details reported elsewhere. The unique aspect to the # of years...
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story ... media-deal
ESPN's deal with the Big East would include seven years for men's basketball (2013-20) and six years for football (2014-20). The deal would break down to $10 million for the 2013-14 basketball season and $20 million starting in 2014-15 for football and men's basketball, sources said.
The 10 million for 2013-14 hoops was contingent on the C7 staying so it was slashed to 6mm. The 6mm detail was reported elsewhere but the reduction is quoted here:
The Big East's $10 million figure for the men's basketball season in 2013-14 is based on the seven Catholic schools remaining in the league next season, sources said. If those schools leave the Big East before next year, that figure would be reduced.
Furthermore Navy is a *fb-only* member who will retain their own home game contract that is already in place. So they likely don't get a share of a contract they don't offer rights to. So 11 shares, not 12.

Navy would get bowl revenue, playoff revenue, and other football distributions from the league.

As for 2013 ESPN TV, I think that is simply the final year of their original Big East deal that paid 4mm for both fb and bb. If we assume 70% of the value is football and also assume it hasn't be renegotiated/slashed that would be 3mm per school.

Speaking of missing some details...Navy will be a football only member. 8) BTW, why would Navy join the conference if they don't get a share of the action?
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Guaranteed win against us to help them become "bowl eligible"?

Scheduling is getting harder and harder as the big conferences play more conference games, and there just aren't enough other independents to fill your schedule. And they will get a share of some revenues, just not as much as full members.

Accidental typo. Meant to say FB-only, typed non-fb.

Navy joins the league and gets a share of the playoff, bowl, and other football distribution action... not the football tv contract until they lump their rights in too.

So they get money from the other distributions related to football and get a tv cut when their contract is up and they get renegotiated into the nBE deal.
