It will be interesting to see if the national sport sites talk about this at all, but the SEC has really not looked great so far in the first 2 weeks. Against P5 opponents they are 3-6 through the first 2 weeks. LSU 24 - FSU 45 UVA 13 - TN 49 UNC 31 - SC 17 FL 11 - Utah 24 Vandy 20 - Wake 36...

This is sort of where my head is at. They made these huge deals, but their revenue streams are not increasing at the same rate as some of those contracts. As contracts for various sports come up it is going to be interesting to see what happens. I believe the NBA comes up next year and they...

Damn. That sucks. Wish him well. Makes an already weak situation on the DL worse.

The 2 biggest factors in what determines viewership are what network the game is on and what time it is on. All you have to do to see this is to look at viewership numbers. A game in the mid-afternoon on a broadcast network is almost always going to be the most highly rated game on TV...

I agree 100% with this. Clemson is still more talented than most teams in the country, but they no longer have Top 5 type talent. Also, until the hire of Riley he has largely been promoting coaches from within instead of bringing in strong outside candidates and I believe that has negatively...

If ESPN where to get to a place where it had to try to renegotiate contracts keep in mind that would also mean they would have to renegotiate SEC as well and it is likely similar issues would plague Fox, so B1G and B12 would likely not be looking at increases to their contracts.

Advanced Stats review. Basic takeaway from game 1, offense was good, defense was really bad. https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/georgia-tech-football/2023/9/5/23859876/georgia-tech-football-advanced-stats-review-louisville

Clemson is more talented than they showed, but they are not 2018 Clemson level talented. OL is solid but didn't look spectacular. Their WR's don't look like anything special at all. The defense is still really good, but it doesn't look as dominating as it did a few years ago. It was also...

https://stratechery.com/2023/the-rise-and-fall-of-espns-leverage/ https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/SB-Blogs/Newsletter-Media/2023/09/04.aspx Sounds like Charter is not in any hurry to resolve this yet. They are realizing that their profit margins are so thin in Cable TV that they are...

I expect that net income is from all their businesses not just their cable service. From the article it sounds like their get alot more profit (or at least profit margin) out of their other businesses than their cable TV unit.

An interesting note out of Dallas this weekend. While SMU has agreed to give up Tier 1 media payouts for 9 years, its expectation is that the revenue it will receive from the other revenue pieces (Tier 2-3, NCAAT units, playoff revenue distribution, etc.) will allow it to make at least as much...

Two good articles on issues with the future of ESPN and cable in general. Cable TV companies are starting to understand that the cable TV business isn't really that profitable for them and are starting to make long term strategic decisions based on the idea that they should play to their...

So Revenue break out is Years 1-7 - Stanford/Cal 30%, SMU 0% Year 8 - Stanford/Cal 70%, SMU 0% Year 9 - Stanford/Cal 75%, SMU 0% Year 10-12 - Stanford/Cal/SMU 100%

I will root for both FSU and UNC to beat their SEC opponents this weekend - I always root for that. But except for those games they can lose every game on their schedule as far as I am concerned. While I hate that conferences are now as large as they are and I wish we could go back to 8-10 game...

I have alot of questions going into the season on our team, i'm just looking forward to getting some early answers. We return less than 40% of our rushing and receiving yards from last year's team. On defense we lose our Top 3 tacklers. our Top 3 tackle for loss, and top 2 sack defenders. On...

Tony Latimore on how the talent levels stack up for the potential newcomers. Keep in mind when I look at things like this I don't assume because 1 program is like a couple of points higher than another that they are more talented. I tend to think in terms of talent equivalency. Are schools...

I'm sort of in between these two. My thought was let them add a 6th ACC game and guarantee it will be one of Stanford or Cal. Since they play Stanford every year that means they get Stanford as an ACC game every other year and can schedule them as an OOC opponent in the non-Stanford ACC years...
