ESPN, SEC reach 15-year, $2.25 billion pact
SEC also has 15-year deal with CBSESPN and the Southeastern Conference have reached a 15-year deal for all of the conference's TV rights beyond those taken by CBS, according to two Raycom Sports executives.The SportsBusiness Journal, citing industry sources, placed the deal at $2.25 billion over the next 15 years, about $150 million a year. The deal eliminates discussion about an SEC network and ends Raycom Sports' relationship with the SEC since 1986. Combined with a 15-year, $55 million a year agreement with CBS, the SEC will bring in an average of $250 million annually in media rights from 2009-10 through 2025, according to the SportsBusiness Journal. That nearly triples the SEC's current amount of $70 million per year. Each school received about $5.3 million in 2007-08 from TV revenue. The new deal is projected to increase the number to as much as $15 million per school. ESPN's package includes the SEC basketball tournament championship, which was previously shown on CBS, and is expected to have more regular-season basketball games. Distribution will be an important element of this deal. ESPN and Comcast are working on an agreement that would initially put ESPNU in approximately 7 million Comcast homes and potentially put ESPNU on 14 million homes on Comcast, the SportsBusiness Journal reported. Some SEC programming would go to ESPNU, which is currently in 25 million homes and could reach 40 million with the deal. The SEC declined to comment before an afternoon news conference today. SEC Commissioner Mike Slive notified Raycom Sports of the decision on Sunday. Raycom has shown SEC basketball since 1986 and SEC football since 1992. "It's disappointing," said Ken Haines, CEO of Raycom Sports. "In the new economics, there's a lot of money involved. We'll be exploring alternative ways we may be able to stay involved with the SEC, but quite honestly, it's too soon right now to really know. We had hoped it wouldn't end this way."From The Birmingham News:SEC, CBS sign landmark TV sports dealCommentary from Ray Melick: Fans win with SEC's TV dealVideo: One-Minute Madness -- Not all in SEC happy with CBS deal
