Greg Schiano to be named Rutgers Head Coach within 24 Hours

[JerseyShoreKnight]

If Rutgers doesn't give him what he's asking for, how does that equate to "being rejected"? This isn't some high school kid asking for a date. This is literally multi-million dollar negotiations.

I’m talking about Butch withdrawing his consideration for the job. Both Schiano and Jones have the same agent. He’s closing a deal for one and protecting the image of another. It’s better to withdraw your consideration than look like you were passed over by Rutgers, of all schools. If they’re not considering you, it would be tough for any other Power 5 school to consider you.

I find it hard to believe anybody doesn’t see through the schtick. Personally, I find it amusing.

Go Blue. The Wolverine has been released in Michigan Football !!!

My apologies. I need to start showing ignored content before I reply to something in the future.

What is an "in-state subscription rate?"

The per subscriber rate the BTN charges networks for subscribers in a state that has a B1G school, call it a $1.10/subscriber, otherwise the BTN charges the networks subscribers $0.10/subscriber. Those aren't the actual numbers, examples.

Uh, not really. Carriage charges and channel placement are all negotiated between Fox (BTN is typically sold as part of a bundle with FS and FS1) and cable operators. They are not always the same for a given geographic region. And while I realize that your numbers are only an example, no big cable company pays close to a dollar per subscriber anywhere.

Wrong again I see. In 2017 the BTN AVERAGE carriage fee was $0.48/subscriber which was a 30% increase from 2012. The $0.48/subscriber is a blend of in footprint and out of footprint rates, there is a big delta in the rate in footprint versus out of footprint.

"They are not always the same for a given geographic region."

Yeah, that's what I said. Different rate for in B1G footprint versus out of footprint which was a big factor for Maryland and Rutgers, because of their populations (subscribers).


SO, SO wrong, OH SO WRONNNGGGGGG. April 16, 2018:
"Now, the Big Ten has a mammoth footprint, thanks in part to expansion, and the vast majority of the network’s estimated 60 million households are in-market:

Subscribers within the conference borders that pay well over $1 per month for the Big Ten Network on a basic tier.

Comcast viewers outside the footprint, meanwhile, have been paying an estimated $0.05 – to – $0.10 per month to get the Big Ten Network on a sports tier."

The only people more clueless than SNL Kagan are people who believe them. Any idea where they get their "estimates'?

Sorry Art, go ask a mirror. You don't know everything and you certainly don't know anything about how conference networks work and why schools get added or don't get added to conferences, especially the B1G. Respond if you want but I laid it all out and will let the data provided stand. Knock yourself out if you want to.

Whatever you say, clown. Since you have superior knowledge and access to data, why don't you tell us what Comcast pays for BTN carriage rights for NJ?
