Does anyone know how much we get from JP in comparison to having our own ACC Network?

The Pac 12 network is going to get the following:

Stewart Mandel @slmandel

@colewagoner Pac-12 will get 90 cents per month for every cable subscriber in its home states.

And they are going to be part of the basic package. That's going to be a lot of coin.
 
The Pac 12 deal is so ultimately stupid that it is almost impossible that it has been green lighted as a project. 40 million cable customers will get at least a $.90 rate increase on top of the ESPN rate increases we are already paying for for their other deals (including the Pac 12). In math terms, Comcast and the others will have to raise their subscriber rates $2.00 a month to pay for this as there is a self correction on the part of subscribers in reaction to rate increases. At the end of 12 months, a $2.00 rate increase nets $1.20 to the cable operator. After 24 months, it nets $.90 (against the original subscriber base, which will shrink during the 24 months).

In today's media market, one wants to own content rather than networks. Daily and Colbert are much more valuable than Comedy Central.

As for the ACC, we are better renegotiating the ESPN for the inclusion of Syracuse and Pitt and how many of the 10 million television households in New York and Pennsylvania we get credit for (I think we lock them in by adding Penn State and Rutgers).

Someday, the cable industry and sports leagues will have to hire economists to protect them from themselves.
