Notre Dame Football New Media Rights Deal

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I still remember that anecdote Jason Garrett gave during the BYU game that went on for MINUTES about meeting Jayson Ade at a high school.

I'm just gonna say it out there, publicly: I miss Tom Hammond.

Sue me.

There's something to be said for how confidently he did games. I mean, if the player was of African descent, the pronunciation was ALWAYS fucked, but God damn was he confident. Haha

NBC has already plugged their first Big 10 game during this HoF game broadcast more than they do ND for an entire season

I bet money Amazon Prime outbids NBC and we will be on there. I think it could be a massive deal and ND would have lots of control over their own content. I am hearing rumors that this has legs. Not totally sure where I stand in trusting the rumors, but they sound kind of legit.

Going streaming only will kill ND's national brand... so many cotton balls won't know how to watch the game.

Can’t see that happening

Maybe NBC is getting push back from the Big Ten to force ND's hand... fingers crossed.

We’ll they were going to get the Pac12 account until half the league bolted so they have some money to spend

Apple was getting the PAC deal.

Me neither. The available standard TV audience is still far larger than streaming.

Driving in the car this morning I had the NFL game on radio. Mike Mayock was calling it and damn we miss that guy. He's still damn good. Would be thrilled if NBC brought him back for ND games.

Easily the best color guy we've had. IIRC the knock on him was that he was TOO smart for the typical viewer. That'd be nice.

 

[IA4irish]

Mayock and Tirico? You’ll get Jac and Jason Garrett and terrible camera work and you’ll like it! Also the players will be wearing gear that had its hey day 15 years ago. But the university will be making money…

 

[Grahambo]

I hold out hope they bring Mayock back. Tirico not going to leave SNF so need someone else.

 

[Old Man Mike]

We actually had morons on IE who griped about Mayock, my friends.
NO ONE can survive IE. We "quicker than fast."

 

[ulukinatme]

Tirico is the best, which is why we'll never see him again. We were lucky we had him at all. I'm just glad Flutie and Hammond are gone, I can stomach Collinsworth after those guys. Don't care for Garrett.

 

[Old Man Mike]

For me, Garrett's fine. Knows football and rarely leans on cliches. Sees things. (like you'd expect from a coach.)
I'll take all the analysis that I can get.

Some might say "sudden"

Five year extension

Glad it wasn’t a 10 year extension

 

[Huntr]

Runs through 2029. B1G deal ends in 2030. SEC deal ends in 2034.

Dates to know...

Friend said it’s $25MM/year but not sure where he got that number. Either way everything about this is good news IMO

Just need to upgrade the booth and we cooking.

For real? Sampson said they were hoping for around $50 million a year. 25 million is awful. Join a conference at that point. Especially with the poor production quality of nbc

No way. $25M/yr would not be good in any way.

You can't float $60M/yr, then settle for 25. Good lord.

I’m assuming he is incorrect in this case then

Okay very wrong on the number upon further investigation. It does appear closer to $60.

Also, there will be a Hard Knocks style annual documentary. That’ll be awesome

 

[ab2cmiller]

If it is only 25 million per year, I would assume that it’s because it has some opt out clause that gives ND the ability to opt out on an annual basis.
