Sports fans speculate on future delivery models of games and the content being a lot more important than markets in the future. We all know football drives the tv revenues and basketball probably gets short changed at the very least for NCAA tourney payouts.

I thought of a question and it probably applies more to everyone outside of Clemson and FSU fans(since they are more football driven and there answer may be driven). If hypothetically in the future you had to buy the whole season basketball or football games in a future delivery model and there is not free over the air content, at what what % of football cost would ACC fans be willing to buy the basketball product? Obviously there is a lot less football so would fans be willing to pay 100% of what football is, would basketball be priced at 150% of the football cost due to fan interest and there are more games, or would it be a fraction of football say 66-75%.

Its all hypothetical but I thought I would ask ACC fan bases and will be interested to see the answers.

I'm a much bigger fb fan than bb. But im a huge fan of both. So I would pay whatever is necessary to see my team play both sports within reason.

Wouldn't season ticket prices tell you that info? This year NC State football season tickets were $325 for 6 games. Basketball is $500 for 19 games. I'm not saying anybody would pay $500 for a TV package but it would appear that the fans would pay 150% of the football price for basketball.

On the other hand, football tickets averaged $55 while basketball are closer to $26 (per game).

Basketball always takes a back seat to football at Georgia Tech. Basketball really only gets going at GT if they are good or if the football team is really awful. If you could only choose basketball or football I feel confident easily 95% of Georgia Tech fans would choose football.

I’m a Football Guy with Louisville...Basketball, wake me up in March...

As a fan of Hofstra, who doesn't play football, FSU is my favorite NCAA Football team. I root for FSU in all sports but I don't watch them play anything other than football.

VT football, not even close.
If football was $100 for a season I might pay $25 for basketball.

I would think a better source would be looking into the early days of the Big Ten Network. If I am not mistaken, basketball was the driving force in getting that network launched.

This is probably on the high side for football but even in this example where football content is valued at 3x the basketball content it makes one wonder why basketball content couldn't generate more tv/streaming income in the future.

Umm, $100/$25 = 4X. But I get what you're saying.

For some reason I thought in my head you said $75 and $25, I didn't look close enough.

My sports in order:

Football
Wrestling
Track
Basketball
Baseball

I'm a Basketball first kinda guy.

So mine would be Basketball-Football--Baseball---the rest, in that order.
FLossY Out...

Oh it would be football baseball then hoops for me.

Hell im probably a bigger baseball fan than a FB, but we all know who makes the money in these games.

I'm Football First then Men's Hoops then Men's Lacrosse.

I don't really care about women sports...
