ESPN gets the top picks in football and the conference championship, but

FOX gets a tremendous amount to football content. ESPN also gets the basketball tournament championship, and the first pick in basketball content. FOX gets a tremendous amount of basketball content as well, but there is virtually no difference in the pecking order of the content - football or basketball. Yormark has talked about separating the football and basketball content in the next round of negotiations, but for now, the media rights are not separated from football. I also disagree with you on the basketball coaching opinion. It's an area that the B12 and ACC can compete with the P2. Check out UConn as an example.

$43 a month for the new sports service Venu? No thanks
HokieAl • 08/01/24 10:11 AM ET
Over priced, over rated and probably will fail before this year's end !**

Only 5 million subscribers?

I'm curious what cut the ACCN will get from Venu subscriber fees...
SMU Pony • 08/01/24 09:23 PM ET
The BTN and SECN are also included, FWIW.

If Stanford Duke and Cal stay it will remain the top D1 Academic Conference

What do you think that should count for?

Football is not #1 according to the SEC mouth of the south’s Paul Finebaum.
Stech • 08/01/24 07:01 PM ET
We can disagree on how much "academic elitism" is worth in expansion terms-
Baltimore_Hokie • 08/02/24 09:26 AM ET
We don’t disagree on Athletic Elitism, I didn’t say it, Finebaum said it.
Stech • 08/02/24 09:59 AM ET
They probably want to improve basketball and not add to football difficulty**
jms41 • 08/01/24 08:44 PM ET
Certainly a possibility, I think it’s about John Skipper wanting UNC in SEC
Stech • 08/01/24 09:37 PM ET
Do you still think that FOX invested in the B12 for basketball content? **
Big12 guy • 08/01/24 12:40 PM ET
They invested in B12 for eyeballs
HokieAl • 08/01/24 12:52 PM ET
Basketball does not hurt the B12, nor does it hurt the ACC. Football
Big12 guy • 08/01/24 12:57 PM ET
Right now yes, but if the NCAA tournament expands, that could change.
Stech • 08/01/24 07:05 PM ET
Agreed. But my view was more that both football and bball are just tools

I do believe 🏈 will always be #1, but I also believe Skipper & Thompson
Stech • 08/02/24 10:09 AM ET
No doubt, and a smart move too. ESPN has the football, so it wasn’t 4 that.

Big12 guy • 08/01/24 12:55 PM ET
It’s the first picks that matter most, so if Kansas plays Arizona in 🏀 🦊
Stech • 08/01/24 01:53 PM ET
Yep, and ESPN gets first choice. **
Big12 guy • 08/01/24 02:18 PM ET
For basketball? They get first choice over Fox?**
Stech • 08/01/24 03:11 PM ET
Yes.**
Big12 guy • 08/01/24 03:20 PM ET
I didn’t know that, I thought Fox had first choice for 🏀 & ESPN for 🏈.**

Not sure where you read that. In
Big12 guy • 08/01/24 06:16 PM ET
Knew it was a combo agreement, but you r saying ESPN gets 1st pick 4 both?
Stech • 08/01/24 06:53 PM ET
Fox bought 26 FB games and ~63 MBB games. ESPN gets the first four

If FSU & Clemson leave the ACC should grab UCONN and USF, if more leave,
Stech • 08/01/24 01:20 PM ET
If this comes to pass and VT is still in the ACC,I hope VT just goes indy.
VPI_1998 • 08/03/24 09:58 AM ET
I think all of the ACC, big 12 and PAC will pare down the numbers
VTCALS72 • 08/02/24 12:34 PM ET
If it’s just about 🏈, I agree, but I think many are underrating NCAA 🏀

There's zero chance that service will be a success at that price point.
