Still long way to go for BE in TV negotiations - Murphy
Here are tweets from Murphy that he used in his article that was just put up at the Idaho Statesman.
Quote:
Aresco on TV negotiations: "I don't know whether we're in the second inning or the third inning." So don't hold your breath.
Quote:
Aresco on Access bowls: The "access" bowls are expected to be the Fiesta, Cotton and Chick-Fil-A games.
Quote:
Aresco on being in 6-game rotation: "Playing in major bowl at major site against a major team." $$$ will be comparable to other games. Not Rose/Sugar
Quote:
@dmrnevada: @murphsturph So I think 55 million or about there?
@murphsturph: @dmrnevada Asked if it was the same as Orange Bowl, he wouldn't say."

@quantumdavid: @murphsturph When do you think the Big East/TV Networks will wrap up?
@murphsturph: @quantumdavid Not for a while
Quote:
@murphsturph: @aresco says it's more likely Big East teams will play same 3 crossover teams in '13 and '14. Says access in 6 games better than adding 7th
@alexopunk: @murphsturph So we won't play every team then?
@murphsturph: @alexopunk No, at least in the first two years.
voices.idahostatesman.com/2012/11...gotiationsThis was a surprise to me:
"Aresco said the revenue will be comparable to other bowl games outside of the Rose and Sugar, which are worth $80 million. The Orange Bowl is worth $55 million."
IMO having our champions bowl $$ being in the neighborhood of the Orange Bowl as a non access bowl would be an awesome coup for Aresco.
