What's this?

Is it like this?


-Assume 0.25 cents per subscriber per month. I do not think this is aggressive. I am thinking it may be higher.
-Assume ESPN gets half. I have no idea how much they get.
-Assume the ACC share is divided by 16 - 15 shares for the schools and one share for the conference (it seems like the conference typically keeps a share).
-Assume there are no increased operating costs. This may be a very bad assumption, but since the network is already up and running, I am thinking there should not be a lot of costs associated with distributing the network to Comcast. I know nothing about this industry though.
-I saw an article that states Comcast has 19.35 million subscribers, but it is decreasing. I will just assume 19 million for the calculations.

Therefore:

Total dollars per year from Comcast equals: 0.25*19000000*12=$57,000,000/year
Entire ACC's share per year equals: 57,000,000/2=$28,500,000/year
Each school's share per year equals: 28,500,000/16=$1,781,250/year

Now say it is 0.50 per subscriber, then it is (0.50/0.25)*1781250=$3,562,500/year.

I found this in an article from four years ago:

--------
Part of this is that the SEC Network’s monthly subscriber fee of $0.74 is similarly much higher than the Big Ten Network ($0.43) or Pac-12 Network ($0.27).
--------

Say the ACC gets 0.35 (average of B10 and P12 from four years ago), then it is (0.35/0.25)*1781250=$2,493,750/year

I think it is very possible the ACC will get more than $0.35 per subscriber per month from Comcast. I saw a newer article that states the ACCN could get $1 per month per in-state subscriber and $0.50 per month per out-of--state subscriber. If true, then the blended/overall subscriber rate would at least be higher than $0.50 per month per subscriber.

  What do you estimate not having Comcast has cost the ACC a year? -- Stech 09/08/2021 06:58AM
  Probably about $1 million to $1.5 million per year per team. -- HOO86 09/08/2021 08:47AM
  Looking at their availability by state, roughly 25% is in the footprint -- daveinop 09/10/2021 08:07AM

  Maybe it is.... -- 2hhoop3 09/08/2021 1:24PM
  Yes. Comcast owns NBC just like Disney owns ABC/ESPN. ** -- tarheelblue 09/08/2021 1:16PM
