"Big East was laughed out of the room"....hits rock bottom.
" Multiple sources said Tuesday that the Big East’s initial proposal to ESPN in negotiations for media rights fees was for an astounding $300 million a year—10 times what the league likely will get, and more than any current BCS league receives from its annual media rights deal."

More than one BCS source said the Big East was, “laughed out of the room.”

The BE is no better than any other league left out.

It's interesting how the media now are describing the Big Four conferences (SEC, Big XII, Pac-12, Big Ten) with no mention of the ACC. Basically the ACC replaced the Big East as the red headed step child of the BCS while the Big East was demoted to C-USA/MWC level.

If they're expected to get 10x less than $300 mil, wouldn't that be less than what C-USA gets per year?

The ACC (including the new schools) outperformed everyone minus the SEC this bowl season. To say they are a step child is ridiculous.

I'm sure the Big East, under guidance from a commissioner with a ton of experience working with sports broadcasting, would seriously shoot numbers higher than the SEC, PAC, and B1G. I'm sure that's exactly what happened.

One good bowl season does not makes a conference. I always liked the Big East because I thought they did more with less.

Make no mistake, the ACC will be the step child. Just look at the new Orange Bowl deal and compare it with the deals the Rose (Pac-12, Big Ten) and Sugar (Big XII vs SEC) got. The ACC will be fine but you're now the new Big East (in the BCS era) perception wise.

@r2 pirate

Learn how to properly quote. Sad that ECU fans suddenly think they're better than USM after an invite to the BE

Also LOLOL at the 0-12 reference. Don't forget ECU went 3-20 in a 2 year period a very short while ago

RE: "Big East was laughed out of the room"....hits rock bottom.
If the nBE TV deal comes in as low as what most think it will and the numbers being thrown around about what the C-7 schools are going to get are as high as being reported it's not beyond belief to think UConn doesn't consider leaving with the C-7 schools. They've never been a football first school anyway. And it's not beyond belief to think that they get with the C-7 schools and say "let's just dissolve this thing" and save themselves from having to wait and pay exit fees........this thing is still long from being over.

The BE's death has been slow, dragged out, and ugly. It needs to finally be put to rest.

RE: "Big East was laughed out of the room"....hits rock bottom.
Sorry, but this story doesn't pass the smell test. When the comish says public that a 100 million deal could get done and asks for 300? I'm calling bs on the 300 million actually being proposed at all. Oh, how are soo many people and "sources" in a private closed door meeting? Again, bs. Calling bs on get the BE only getting the lowered low ball number of 30 million from CBSsports.com D. Dodd. The BE isn't going to get the 100 million per year, but with the teams still there it will get 40 to 50 million (JMO 45 million per year).

This read just like the story where they said ECU had applied to the BE 21 times. BS, we've asked about membership 3 times and formally applied twice. But, the news people took the 21 .cc's and spinned it and ran with it. When, the truth was that by state law the University System board of Governers, our BOT and the BE comish and BE member presidents all had to recieve a copy of the letter. But, that's not a good story that gets page clicks on a website. Pure BS stories from weak to down false/fake "sources" breaking gloom and doom does.

That all this story is a story to get clicks on a webpage, like the supermarket tabloids. This is IMO is the online sports news Tabloid journalism and not much more.

BTW, C-USA's current deal is worth around 17 million per year, even at 30 million it's still nearly twice as much as C-USA.
