If each of the 12 SBC schools had 10k in fans (total 120k fans that signed up at $5 a month...$50 a year for the SBC app,

thats $6,000,000 going to the SBC and 15k each (180k) that's 9 million

The SBC and CUSA should follow the OVC on how to develop a app and show the conference content....then charge the $5 a month

You could still sell the championship games (fb/bb) and a few games in each sport for weekly games to TV

Anyone know the money amount the SBC is getting? I bet it's less than 2 million a year. But controlling your own network and charging for it you reduce the number of fans that can see games....

but my guess its less than 5k than if it was on espn+

The problem I see with conference digital networks like the one you described is that it would be very hard to get 10K fans per school to sign up at $5/month per year. Once you put it behind a paywall, you are going to cut off all but the most diehard of fans. That is why something like ESPN Plus is attractive as they are drawing $5 a month from more than just the CUSA schools as a base.
