Verbose.

The closer you see Evie, the messier it gets.

Unless things have changed a lot in 3 years.


Just sayin.

RDR, you could have played corporate buzzword bingo with the KWCH online article, which presumably came from the new company's presser boilerplates.

My money is on it being a direct reprint of the press release.

It's Bruce's daughter. She's definitely attractive.

And blonde.

I could barely watch the Southern Miss game at IBA since she was sitting in my general area.

Is the new Director of Ticket Sales named Lew Perkins? That guy knows how to generate some cash off tickets, I'm tellin' ya!

But, will this take Shockervision to the next level?

Positive: Hopefully this means better picture quality

Negative: WSU won't be able to be like Texas who has Longhorn Network which makes revenue

Jenn rteported that this deal was potentially worth $30 - $40 mill over its 10-year life. That covers baseball, volleyball, and basketball, but that's right in the range of what CU is getting for joining the NewBigLeast.

If this is even close to what the eventual payout is this is some serious money. If I was a jerk I would call for the immediate removal of ADES for having not done this deal earlier.

I would love it if that's true, but I absolutely can't imagine it.

Perhaps the idea is that it's worth that much overall, but WSU's share of it would be significantly less. My guess is, if that number is accurate, it's not taking into account costs, the cut of CBS, etc.

However, if it even amounts to $10 million for WSU, that would be huge.

[Spaulding]

ADES should be run out of town! That no good AD has done nothing fir WSU. He's just a fundraiser. I bet Jim Schaus had this lined up before he left.

My sarcasm meter IS working this time.

My guess these are third tier rights and WSU might get to keep the lions share of the revenue.

Deals for third-tier rights vary by conference. Some third-tier rights are bundled by conferences and sold to regional networks while others are retained by schools and sold individually to local or regional networks. For example, Pac-12 schools have pledged their third-tier rights to the upcoming Pac-12 Network, while the University of Texas has granted third-tier rights to The Longhorn Network, a partnership between ESPN, IMG and the university.
