20-25 games---NBC/NBC-Sports
20-25 games---ABC/ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU
The rest---CBS-Sports or a streamer.
Thats how you get to 6-8 million a team.
Actually I believe this is how you get 8-10 million per team.
The most likely scenario is we sell more football to one {30 games} than the other {20 games}. The first deal would be light on bball. The second one will have more basketball.
Deal Z: 4-5 million
30 football games (1st and 3rd pick each week)
Conference Championship football
50 basketball games (3rd and 4th pick)
1st pick women's basketball games
OTA network and their sports channels or ESPN. This deal would fit best with NBC, 1 OTA game a week, 1 NBC sports game. Basketball OTA option if it's a good one, NBC sports for the other games.
Deal Y: 3-4 million
20 football games (2nd pick)
70 basketball games (1st and 2nd pick)
Basketball conference tourny
Baseball
OTA network and their sports channels or ESPN. This is the one for ESPN. They will bid a little less then what they did last deal but come away with similar content and as far as ESPN/2/News/U is concerned they'll basically be the same as this year. ESPN also dumps the conferences digital production. This is also a likely target for CBS or NBC if they are outbid on the Deal Z. Basketball would sit nicely with cbs' programming already, solid football for their sports network. Baseball is a solid filler for content.
Deal X: 1 million or less
10 football games (4th pick)
30 basketball games (5th pick)
1st pick of Olympic sports
Remaining women's basketball
Digital network or ESPN/CBSsn/NBCsports filler for the networks who need content.
Deal W: Returned to schools
12 football games
42 basketball games
Any women basketball games not picked, any Olympic sports left
Some schools will make some money off of these but it will probably vary a good deal. Local broadcasts, digital, school networks.
