So, wouldn't that price per rating/game be incorrect as it was based off of 14 games on Fox?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11169152071142077874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-1452337046359603332019-01-18T09:26:41.130-05:002019-01-18T09:26:41.130-05:00@Hokie Mark - Thanks for reading.

My goal for the piece was to attempt to compare the B10 deal with other similarly-situated deals (exclusive broadcast windows on traditional OTA networks). There are other reasons why the B10 Fox deal makes sense (equity in BTN, for example).<br /><br />You are right, $300 million would be extremely disruptive to college sports. If I am right about a return to OTA importance, then the SEC would have a real advantage over the B12, ACC, and Pac-12 which don't have exclusive OTA windows.Steve Dittmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03341986382079206500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-62959227125228246902019-01-17T13:19:14.477-05:002019-01-17T13:19:14.477-05:00Just read the Steve Ditmore piece, and I think he&...Just read the Steve Ditmore piece, and I think he's wrong to assume the market value of a ratings point is the Big Ten Fox deal. In fact, Fox walking away from the Big XII CCG says to me that $20M for even a 6 rating is too much ($3M per point). At any rate, if the SEC really does get the kind of bump that he projects, it will be VERY disruptive to college sports as a whole. What are your thoughts?Hokie Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411335677163614617noreply@blogger.com
