CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Shocking. They dont want to be night time filler.

I think it's already been discussed in this thread, but supposedly previous B1G media rights deals have enabled them to opt out of night games in October/November because it's really ****ing cold in, say, Wisconsin in November, and their new media rights deal requires them to play night games. No one wants to do it, but it's less of a big deal for USC and UCLA to commit to night games in November and they are all like "we'd prefer not to."

Thanks, Bartleby.

ESPN makes more than that right now with carriage fees. They need that just to keep pace. ESPN has committed to spend $44.9 Billion in media rights fees through 2027. With cord cutting accelerating you wonder how much more can they spend. This is why the PAC12 is having trouble with the contract.

I wonder what their spending will look like after 2027

Naked wives. Burritos. Streaming subscription run rates. Throw in some edibles and rainbow trout we have a virtual camping trip going on here.

I had a relative who worked his way through college at a photo development store. Back in the day before cameraphones, when people actually took photos with film and had them developed by a third party. They had an album in the back of the more "colorful" photos. One set was a rowdy bunch on a camping trip with presumably their wives/girlfriends and the campers in various stages of undress and "activities".

They also had a briefing from local LE on when to call the cops if abuse or minors were involved. Yikes.
 
Speaking of ‘out dey ass’ I wonder what the viability of converting the Pac-12 Network into a D2C streaming service would be?

Someone check my math but….
The goal is to clear $400m so each school gets $40m.
So maybe the generated revenue from streaming subscribers alone needs to be $800m to cover overhead and then pay schools.
Thats only 6,700,000 subscriptions at $9.99/month/12 months
5,600,000 subscriptions at $11.99/month/12 months
4,500,000 subscriptions at $14.99/month/12 months

You sell only an annual subscription, no month to month.

☝️The number of subscribers needed is NOT outlandish at all.

You already have the studio, talent, and some of the equipment on campuses. You could sell some stakes to angel investors like Phil Knight, Amazon, and or Apple for some money and services up front. Maybe make some deals for cloud services from Amazon.

>At this point you havent sold any advertising either.
>Havent licensed any bars or restaurants.
>You also could license the service to another streaming business (Amazon or Netflix) to supplement their streaming content.
>You could later on agree to sell one of the broadcast networks the rights to 1 or 2 games a week. Like when tOSU is playing at CU one of the B1G broadcasters could buy the away game so fans out of market can see it. Or do one time PPV for specific games

What I dont know is crew and additional production equipment costs are as well as insurance, talent, and so forth. Nor do I know the cost to scale needed for the streaming to work or the cost of an app. But those are manageable

UA president reportedly flying to DFW today. Maybe to the B12 HQ or visiting SMU for P12 expansion.

According to Canzano, SMU thinks they’re in. They don’t care about exit fees. They could pay up to $50-100M to get into the P12 🤔 and their NIL collective would be 2nd only to Oregon.

The way it all sounded is like it’s a done deal.

Also, the deal announcement could come right at the end of the month or a few days into July. Take it for fwiw (not much at this point).

I defended a man who took a roll of film to one of those 1-Hour Photo places, at the Greeley Mall. This one had a conveyor-type path, that the developed pictures traveled down to be packaged up. The pictures were visible to mall customers, which was unfortunate for my client, as the pictures mostly showed him having oral sex with young boys.
He jumped bond, got arrested in Denmark for sex crimes, and ended up in a Mexican desert, murdered.
The scary thing was, he said he could stand in a mall, or on a street, watching dozens of kids pass, and know just which ones would engage with him, accept his offers. I imagine this is just as true with female victims.

My kids aren't kids anymore, but those kind of stories turned my blood cold when they were.:eek:

I guess maybe my post was a UBL? I couldn't tell that the intent of the Tweet was to be a joke.

It was simply using the cost of living of Lubbock which is quite low and then calculating the cost of living in those other cities. Just a fun metric.

Nothing to do except wait.

How is this relevant? This isn't personal standard of living. Does it cost substantially more to run the Athletic Department in Seattle than it does in Lubbock?

It's relevant for pay scales and other operating costs. Budgets for the same things are considerably higher for the same things in Boulder than in Lubbock.

I don't know if that is actually true. CU's AD budget was less than TTU. CU's coaching staff budget has always been middle of the road or bottom half, despite being in one of the higher cost of living areas (so has Cal's). Coaching salaries are not really dependent on cost of living, but rather market value of the positions and a programs willingness to compete. Same for recruiting budgets.

I'm sure there are a whole mess of things that go into a true comparison, but this is not the same as comparing how far a $100k/year personal income will go in Boulder vs Lubbock.

I know you’re talking about historical data but I believe CU is now 3rd in coaching salaries behind Oregon and Washington.

Dude. If you're starting a business, do you think you would have to pay more to hire an admin in Boulder or Lubbock? Services like pest control, cleaning, upkeep & maintenance, landscaping services? You can't really think it all costs the same.

You’re right. Pest control expenditures are much higher in Lubbock than in Boulder.
