2011 NCAA Television Revenue by Conference

Oct

2011

By Matt Peloquin

As we’ve done in previous years, here’s an updated list for the 2011 NCAA television revenue by conference for the BCS conferences. Note that there will be additional changes once league specific networks (like Pac-12 Network) are finalized. Other contracts are expected to be altered to reflect new membership additions such as ACC, SEC and Big 12. The Big East contract is next up for renewal. The value is expected to be much lower with the losses of Syracuse and Pittsburgh, but will still increase due to inflated value within the industry for conference television contracts.

ACC

12 years, $1.86 billion, ESPN (through 2024)

Annual: $155 million

Average Annual per School: $13 million

Notes: figures expected to improve with the additions of Syracuse & Pittsburgh

Big%20East%20Conference 2011 NCAA Television Revenue by Conference

Big East

6 years, $200 million, ABC/ESPN [CBS contributes $9 million of total] (through 2013)
Annual: $40 million

Average Annual per School: $3.18 million for football schools, $1.56 million for non-football schools

Notes: contract is expected to change with the losses of Syracuse and Pittsburgh but will still grow due to the valuation of available conference television contracts (Big East is next conference up for renewal).

Big%20Ten%20Conference 2011 NCAA Television Revenue by Conference Big Ten

10 years, $1 billion, ABC/ESPN (through 2016)

25 years, +$2.8 billion, Big Ten Network (through 2032)
6 years, $145 million, Fox (B1G championship game through 2016)

Annual: $236 million

Average Annual per School: $19.7 million

Big%20Twelve%20Conference 2011 NCAA Television Revenue by Conference Big 12

13 years, $1.17 billion, Fox (through 2025)

8 years, $480 million, ABC/ESPN (through 2016)
Annual: $150 million

Average Annual per School: $15 million

Notes: The Big 12 contract is expected to remain as it is if a 10th school is added to replace Texas A&M. If the conference opts to expand to 12, the per-school payouts would likely remain the same with the total overall annual increasing. Expansion to 12 would also add a championship game expected to fetch a payout of $10-$18 million per year.

Pac-12

12 years, $2.7 billion, Fox/ABC/ESPN (through 2024)

Annual: $225 million (* $505 million potential)

Average Annual per School: $18.8 million from Fox/ABC/ESPN (* $30 million projected with Pac-12 Network)

* Pac-12 Network: the network will launch in 2012 with a primary network and 6 regional networks. Revenue projections combined are expected to be in the same range if not more than the Big Ten Network, which produces $280 million per year at $11 million per school.

Notes: New members receive 50% share in 2012, 75% share in 2012, 100% share in 2014

15 years, $825 million, CBS (through 2024)

Annual: $205 million

Average Annual per School: $17.1 million

Notes: contract is expected to be renegotiated with the addition of Texas A&M, maintaining the current per-school payout. The SEC may be on it’s way to starting it’s own network that depending on future additions, could gain the conference and additional $10-$20 million per school per year).
