$54 million in TV money per B1G school by 2024

[Local Shill]

Even more than we previously thought.

All the know-nothing asshats that suggest RU leaves the conference can put this in their pipe and smoke it.

 

[mildone]

We're in the money! We're in the money!

remember that next time some of the attendy-tards rag on me for watching on tv instead of going to games

Meh. I attend games AND DVR them so I'm giving RU the best of both worlds.

 

[bleachersown]

Hopefully the Big Ten is looking beyond this when the media rights bubble bursts.

Doesn't matter if you watch the games. The money comes from increased carriage fees

that's why i made my post.. i pay for cable

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

To all the haters....

 

[LadyRU09]

How much are the AAC schools getting?

 

[tico brown]

Will Rutgers be getting its full share by then?

 

[R1776U]

How much are the AAC schools getting?

70 million

I should have taken up football coaching. That's where a lot of that money is going to go.

Look at Ben McAdoo's career arc.....from assisting at a high school while attending a Division II college (with no involvement in the football program there, apparently)......to head coach of the New York Giants in 16 years.

Maybe they can afford to decrease the price of a bottle of water to $5.

You're just cheap just admit it ...54 million is a nice piece of change...

 

[ScarletStateofNJ]

This will help us when competing with schools outside of the conference, but just adds to the arms race intra-conference- and we're way behind there.

I have a feeling Busch Campus is about to get a new pimped out "honors dorm", and 49% of the residents might be really, really good at sports.

Nice! Looking forward to buying up recruits.

 

[ArminRU]

How much will be left for football by the time the school gets a hold of it? Pennies?

How much better can Ohio State and Michigan get even with more money? Eventually they'll run into diminishing returns on their efforts to improve if they haven't already.

 

[JRZEER]

That's big time cash$

 

[ivan brunetti]

How much are the AAC schools getting?

If they are lucky, 2/3rds of that amount in '24.

Hopefully the Big Ten is looking beyond this when the media rights bubble bursts.

There is no doubt that sports media rights are in a bubble. However, sports is the last thing that people watch live. For the sports rights bubble to pop a bunch of huge cable/satellite companies have to capitulate and go out of business, because without live content you don't need them. It is possible that sports is the last lifeline that these companies keep throwing money at until they finally sink. There is a LOT of money to be made between now and then.

 

[needmorecowbell]

2021. Looks like it will be almost $50M that year.

I worry more about Trenton than the school. Those b'tards will have RU funding them by 2024.

Cheap bastard [banana]

 

[theRU]

if the conference expands again, do our dollars go up right away?

 

[ArminRU]

Yeah. By the time Trenton get's a piece and they reduce the subsidiary, I think Ash might have a couple bucks left to change some lightbulbs.

 

[RUSK97]

Dammit, I insist we go back to the AAC where we can get our heads kicked in by Houston and Cincy instead of Ohio State and Michigan. And we'll only get 2.1 million a year.

 

[koleszar]

This will help us when competing with schools outside of the conference, but just adds to the arms race intra-conference- and we're way behind there.

Unless OSU and Michigan decide to Gold Plate their stadiums the money will help us more than them. There's only some many bells and whistles you can put into facilities. Ours completely suck, so we have more of an upside which money will help. However, right now and for the next four years till 2020 we're going to continue to fall far behind.

I think you're forgetting who the major broadband internet providers are. TV delivery may change, but we still gotta pay for access.

 

[rubigtimenow]

The ACC maybe in that neighborhood but the original question was about the AAC and they'll be lucky if it's 10% or 5.4 million.

[RUScrew85]

With our luck hyperinflation will set in just as we start getting paid and $52M will be worth like a loaf of bread.

 

[bleachersown]

People still may have to pay for internet access, but the Big Ten isn't getting automatic sub fees from that like they do from cable providers. May turn out being a subscription service to BTN one day, similar to HBOGO, Netflix, etc.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Even beyond the B1G money.. which is the only way any university can offer athletics AND have it be revenue neutral.. something all the critics have been crying about... beyond all consideration of money the asshats that laugh at Rutgers and talk about moving down forget all the games we have had in recent memory, the last ten years, where we looked like we belonged.

We beat Michigan just 2 years ago.

None of these same critcs would tell Syracuse to move down in competition but we had beaten them 7 of the last 10 times we played them.

We have beaten UNC, Arkansas, Michigan State, Washington State, Pitt, Louisville, NC State, Maryland and Iowa State...more teams that no one would advise they move down in competition.

The critics in New Jersey are grouped by sports-haters, tax haters and those affiliated with other universities.. think the favorites of New Jersey kids who go out of state... the catholics, syracuse, other state u...

They think none of their tax dollars should go to sports.. or to a state u (or for sports at a state u) or specifically to Rutgers because everything in this state is a black hole of wasted tax dollars...

None of them think for a second that residents of New Jersey should have access to a State U competing in athletics at the highest level.. like 50+ other State Us.

None of them think that we need a State U college football program that regularly draw half or more of what the Jets or Giants or Eagles draw. Those NFL teams should be enough for us... right?

You know what's really odd.. their tax dollars have gone to the NFL for 70 years because the NFL has special status with the IRS. Their tax dollars covered for what the NFL should have been paying.. then go ahead and factor in all the sweetheart deals for stadiums and road access.. and practice facilities and on and on... they have been bent over by the NFL but cry about Rutgers just trying to do what is in their best interest regarding athletics.

Asshats.. the lot of them. No one's tax dollars are being used for football and soon enough.. none of the athletics programs will need any of Rutgers students fees... the real challenge then will be beating off the asshats claiming that the Big Ten revenue should be used for academics... because that will come. Some sort of esoteric socially-popular cause-of-the-day-major department will claim a share of that revenue as theirs.

So expect it.. prepare for that.. it is coming.

We have been saying this on the Issues Board since 2012.

The NJ/Trenton version of, "You didn't build that!" will be yelled soon enough.

hell, we're not even allowed to borrow against the future windfall to get the stuff needed now...

The best part of that Oklahoma building was the dining hall, which was only slightly nicer looking than the new Livingson Dining hall (that place is fancy). The actual 'suites' themselves are way smaller than even Silvers on Busch, which are awesome and not even that high up on the list at RU anymore.

Nice. Only a few more years of taking these beatings for free.
