SEC TEAM Expansion and SEC network

[TheGoodStuff]

Remember all the discussion over SEC Expansion and the best potential teams? This article makes it crystal clear what it was all about (viewer/state footprint).

SEC Network Revenue Is Impressive | FOX Sports

*The SEC's revenue is based on a $1.40 per subscriber average monthly cost in the 28 million cable and satellite subscriptions in the 11 state SEC footprint and .25 cents per month in the remaining 47 million households. Last week I told you that I would break down what these revenue streams would look like for individual SEC schools.

....The official split between the conference and ESPN isn't public, but I've been told by several people on both sides of the deal that 50/50 is pretty accurate. Using that as a template then the SEC would receive $275 million. Dividing that between the 14 member schools leaves us right at $19.6 million per school. This means that combined with the existing money coming in from ESPN and CBS, every SEC school will be bringing in a whopping $40 million or more in TV revenue by the third year of the SEC Network. That's roughly double what the league schools receive right now and $15 million more per school than any conference received in 2013.

The S.E.C. will eventually expand again to make a total of 16 teams. However; it will not be any teams in the current geographic region.
Let me explain. Let's imagine that all (12) member universities get $1,000,000 a year from t.v. & radio rights. Then let's being in teams (13) & (14) now each university gets $857,000 dollars. So, now with the expansion, each university is getting less money from t.v. & radio.
So, the S.E.C. will have to be selective on who joins the S.E.C. For instance, the S.E.C. is already in northern Florida, so to add F.S.U. would not earn any more t.v.money from viewers. S.E.C. is already in South Carolina, so to add Clemson would not add more t.v. money. the S.E.C. is aready in Kentucky, so to add Louisville would not add more t.v. money.
So, the Commissioner chose to add the St. Louis & Houston t.v. markets, thus generating more money for the S.E.C. by adding more viewers. Thus more money for each S.E.C. member university
The next two teams will either come from N.Y. (Syracuse) which I doudt!!! L.A. (UCLA or USC) which I doudt OR teams from the D.C. area, which is more likely Or the Dallas area. (SMU) (TCU) All of those area's have huge t.v. markets, which means more S.E.C. viewers and more money for the S.E.C.

NOw we will have 4 x 4 = 16

Sorry but TCU nor SMU bring anything. Both are small private schools with small fan bases. A&M has already delivered TX and the SEC network can charge a premium in the whole state including the DFW area. A&M games also have consistently gotten better ratings in Austin than TX games.

N. Carolina and Virginia should be the main targets for the next round of expansion.

Rudy,

While your premise is correct, teams like TCU and SMU will never be considered. Dallas is kinda like Nashville: the hometown teams are not the most popular.

Yes I have been to SMU as a matter of fact. Trust me they are NOT a cultural fit at all. A bunch of spoiled rich kids.

Very good! Raleigh/Durham t.v. area and Virginia for the D.C. area.

Va. Tech is too close geographically to Knoxville, so don't add them.

Ga. Tech is too close to UGA, so don't add them either.

So half the schools already in the SEC don't fit?

West division bookend for Vandy.

Haha, no SMU is on a different level. Dallas is all about high-society and $30,000 Millionaires. SMU is like TX University without the academic standing...a very elitist attitude.

i going completely outside box here w/ mines and that's Cincinnati!,Because they're looking to get in an Power 5 conference,plus you get into an new TV market Ohio

 

[oz615]

Also as much as i wanna see UNC and Duke in the SEC,it's not happening because they're too co-dependent on each other

You know I have kinda warmed to that idea. I just found out that they have an enrollment of 40K, had no idea they were that big. If they could deliver the Ohio TV market for the SEC network, it should be worth a serious look.

If Duke and UNC were to become a part of the SEC, it would turn the Blue Mist into the Blue Pi$$ed.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

I'm just fine staying standing pat with A&M and Mizzou for now.

What's up oz? Was just talking about you regarding the old days of VN Live. Hope you are well my man. :hi:

 

[VolAllen]

I would guess NC State and Virginia Tech. I don't think you'll get NC to leave the ACC. And VT seems like a better fit than VA.

 

[LookinUp]

You're gonna have trouble getting anybody over there. They like the ACC and are confident they will have an ACC Network in the future.

I'm good fearless leader,here's hoping that VN live returns because i find it therapeutic!
