You're welcome. I firmly believe the Big East should expect around $10 mil per team give or take a little depending on how well it is negotiated. Congrats to the new members who stand to get a good bump in revenue. While not as much as the other 5, it is still decent money.
I'm also excited about the future of C-USA. If UTSA, ODU and Charlotte can build some solid attendance numbers, we'll be ok. Like I said, I could see us getting $5 to $7 mil per team per year.
To clarify, I would expect around $10,000,000 per team based on All Sports members. The Big East is a hybrid, so here is the breakdown.
$10,000,000 x 10 all-sports members = $100,000,000 per year
Assuming a 70/30 split as some have suggested means $70,000,000 to football and $30,000,000 to basketball.
$70,000,000 / 13 football schools = $5,384,615 per football school
$30,000,000 / 18 basketball schools = $1,666,667 per basketball school
All sports members would bring home about $7,500,000 per year.
