NBC was having real doubts about its payments and a new contract. Now, they have a 14 year deal? Just wait until Alabama sends those tapes around to ND opponents. They let Gunner Kiel hit the road and went with Everett in order to keep the pipeline open to minoirty recruits. The real hero of last year's team was the tight end Tyler Ehfert and not Manti T'eo. Actually, Addazio appears to be building a more solid foundation than Brian Kelly who will be proven to be a "shooting star". He should have kept Kiel and brought in a wide receiver like Tom Gatewood and ran the pro offense. That is where BC has to be careful. Addazio is being tempted to bring in a running quarterback. Jags brought in Dominique Davis and both were soon gone. Running quarterbacks are "the new normal" at least for now and until the defenses adjust.JBQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344181644293746758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-54673798654526460902013-04-22T15:30:59.916-04:002013-04-22T15:30:59.916-04:00What I found interesting is that on Friday Notre D...What I found interesting is that on Friday Notre Dame extended it's current NBC del for 14 years at an average payout of 15 million/year. So the NBC/ND deal expires in the same year as when the ACC/ESPN expires. <br /><br /> I'm assuming ND gets $4-$5 mill or year from ACC basketball, giving it tital annual take home of $19-$20 mil/year (not including revenue). <br /><br />That's near parity with the ACC annual payout of $18 mil/year (not including bowls), and far less than the expected payout the SEC & Big 10 project from their new deals in 2-3 years.<br /><br />Bottom line, it seems ND no longer outdrawn major conferences.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012650441404599363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-10878051926768951532013-04-22T15:23:55.550-04:002013-04-22T15:23:55.550-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012650441404599363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-1440442446634221842013-04-22T15:23:36.912-04:002013-04-22T15:23:36.912-04:00BC hockey is not in ACC, so that's carved out....BC hockey is not in ACC, so that's carved out.
