The game is more profitable now, no more paying NBC, those advertising dollars will go directly to Grambling and SU. Grambling and SU split 1.7 million dollars last year, and now without paying NBC, that amount will increase by at least 500k. Plus, The State of Louisiana added 250k to the pot this year.

That's great news! I sure hope you're right about this though.

And Mr. SWAC is right, the BC television numbers will definitely take a serious hit but the actual attendance numbers may rise a few thousand.

And that's why this happened. The school presidents (BOTs), ADs and the BC committee wanted increased ticket sales and said "to hell with" the best TV coverage.

Eddie Robinson is rolling over in his grave.
 

Free tv was exposure you could not buy as any and everyone could watch

Free tv is what made the classic popular in the 90s and increased enrollment

That microscopic increase in numbers had no choice but to rise. Not much to write home about.

As far as being illiterate, I don't need to know how to read in order to watch a bad football game.
 
Yall know those of the opposite race would not allow 2 black college games on major networks like that. BC on NBC and Celebration Bowl on ABC. This one racial azz country.

When you're on top of the Mountain with the "S on your chest," wind blowing the cape, you always have those that look up in total awe and amazement, drenched with envy but will criticize. The reason they respond that way is they haven't matriculated enough to know how to interact with SUccess.......Have no fear, we never look down on the small folks unless we're giving them a hand to pull them up. Oh yes......."It's the S on our chest that makes us the Best."

lmao.......

The "s" just got demoted.
 

Grambling and SU won't pay NBCSports, this is 1 reason the BCC was comfortable moving the time of the game and NBCSports is basic cable available to 99% of households. The BCC value ticket sales and revenue over paying NBC at the moment.

Does that look like a second tier channel to you?
 
Does this wording look familiar?

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The University of Notre Dame and NBC Sports have reached agreement on a new 10-year contract giving NBC the rights to televise Irish home football games from 2016 to 2025 and extending the partnership between the University and network to 35 years.

A joint announcement of the extension was made April 18 by Mark Lazarus, chairman of NBC Sports Group, and Notre Dame's president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.

"Coming off one of Notre Dame's best and most dramatic seasons in decades, we could not be more proud to extend this historic partnership, which continues to be one of the most innovative in sports-media history," Lazarus said. "We are particularly excited that this extension offers enhanced rights that allow us to bring Notre Dame Football to fans on more platforms than ever before."

As it has since 2009, NBC Sports Digital will continue to live stream Fighting Irish home games for the web, mobile and tablets.

Father Jenkins noted the multiple benefits of the partnership with NBC.

"In addition to the national broadcast of our home football games, this longtime and valued collaboration with NBC has made a Notre Dame education possible to literally thousands of students," Father Jenkins said. "We are delighted to extend our partnership to bring Irish football to our fans, to continue to help support financial aid, and to tell the Notre Dame story."

Revenues from the NBC contract have played a key role in Notre Dame's financial aid endowment since the start of the relationship in 1991. University officers decided then to use a portion of the football television contract revenue for undergraduate scholarship endowment (not athletic scholarships). To date, some 6,300 Notre Dame undergraduate students have received nearly $80 million in aid from revenue generated through the NBC contract.

The University also has committed revenue from NBC to endow doctoral fellowships in its Graduate School and MBA scholarships in its Mendoza College of Business.
