RE: "New Media" pivotal to AAC
Streaming is a good option don't get me wrong. But consistent, buffer free, clean - non-compression artifact, HD video is a good long way off--especially if you are making a play for 4K material in the future. And what is really going on now is lets offer out these teaser priced streaming offerings to see how they go but once a critical mass hits on cable tv subscriptions and what not, a lot of this free streaming and cheap streaming will have the prices go back up to make up for the lack of funds coming in from the cable subscriptions.

"Huge increases" are not on the table, because they would result in less total revenue.

RE: "New Media" pivotal to AAC
We don't know yet what the AAC is going to look like in 2 seasons.

AAC 2.0 could be CUSA 2.0 with a couple new faces like Temple and Navy thrown into the mix. CUSA 2.0 had enough equity to maintain its per school TV payout so AAC 2.0 should be able to do so. Will the AAC have to go the route of Fox or NBC to keep its TV money high that is the question.

G5's probably won't have enough money in them to get substantial revenue from streaming service, IMO.

I think the AAC will look fine. Frankly, these schools have been puring money into their athletic departments. For example---todays Temple is vastly different to the Temple that signed a deal in 2013. By the time a new deal is inked, they might be playing in a shiny new on campus stadium. Look at Tulane---they have a new stadium and they just spent money to attract a proven coach who has won everywhere he been. Frankly, I think the coaches in the AAC West are going to be a blast to watch over the next several years with Montgomery, Fritz, Morris, and Niumatalolo mixing it up.

Which reminds me----remember Navy is not included in the current deal.

My guess is the AAC selects one solid football school (probably S Miss or LaTech) to return to 10 football members. It adds Wichita and maybe one other non-football school to rebuild basketball. And then, it goes on investing in facilities and paying top dollar to coaching. Doing that will keep the AAC a solid media property for sports networks like ESPN.

I think the contract moves from 2 million a school to around 5-8 million a school. Not anywhere near P5 money---but enough to give the conference a chance to stay competitive.

This is a key point. The "cable cutters" slice of the media market is still in the part of a new market niche where it's growth is rapid in terms of percentage growth rates, but constrained in terms of total market share by its relatively small starting market share that it started from.

The impact a decade from now will likely be substantial, but the impact three years from now is not likely to be all that impressive.

Think that'd have to be a Samsung pie plate. They are big on the "Internet of Things".
Plus it's not like the AAC is going to have a product that commands a huge rights increase. The other problem is your league's exposure could take a nosedive until that platform matures.

If the AAC ends up on one of the streaming platforms, it will be a piece of the pie and not the whole pie.. ESPN or who ever gets tier one at x dollars, and there will be a tier 2 and maybe 3 that go to another network and or streaming. I don't see them only on live stream.

RE: "New Media" pivotal to AAC
Pirate,

Not so fast. How are cable companies going to raise the rates on people who, for example: watch ESPN, via a streaming pay-TV bundle serviced by DirecTV (AT&T), transported to their home via fiber-optic service from a local company??

The cable company doesn't even have an imprint on that equation, unless its parent company also owns the content creator (the channel). Then maybe.

But we actually just saw Time Warner Inc. (NOT Time Warner Cable, as many articles screwed up) just purchase a stake in Hulu, which will begin streaming pay-TV service soon and will feature some TWI channels. TWI owns a large number of channel properties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_as...ime_Warner



Bruce,

Increase the price too much, and they'll lose a lot of customer --> probably.
Don't increase the price, and they'll lose massive amounts of revenue --> guaranteed.

So if I'm them, I'm going with increase the price. And it will be huge, relatively. No, not some ridiculous amount, like you're trying to frame it.

Quote:"Anyone with eyes can tell that the big Internet companies—I wouldn't even call them new media, they're not anymore—are going to be bigger players," AAC commissioner Mike Aresco told SI.com on Tuesday. "There's no question. TV is TV and media is media. You can watch a game on a pie plate."

Yeah but Mike, the underlying fundamental doesn't go away: how many pie plates are going to be receiving AAC game live streams from the internet??


Even if you give away the live streams to anyone with internet access for no fee, the viewership is not there to be a "Power Six".

Internet seems to be the media theme of the month. Wonder if the AAC will use Facebook, Twitter, or the new ESPN service.

Add to that the fact that providers are now "capping" services and charging for overages.
