New Big Eight TV contract to be announced soon
By ED GROM Staff Reporter
The Big Eight Conference is expected to announce within the next 10 days a new television contract for basketball games that would add more revenue for member schools, Carl James, commissioner of the Big Eight. said yesterday.
Since the previous Big Eight Conference contract with TVS Sports Network expired May 31, six television companies have shown interest in purchasing television rights for Big Eight games, James said.
"WE SENT OUT our guidelines for a contract to all interested companies
and we're at the point right now where attorneys from both sides are discussing the proposals sent back to us, "I have a proposal we would discuss within a week to 10 days from now."
James said that the six interested television companies were TVS, New York; Anheuer-Busch-Katz Communications, New York; Raycom, Charlotte, N.C.; Tanner Communications, Memphis, Tennessee; Jefferson Productions, Charlotte, N.C. and A.B. Inc., St. Louis.
TVS owns the rights to televise games from several college conferences, including the Southeastern Conference, the Big Ten Conference.
Raycom has the rights to televised all games in the Atlantic Coast Conference and Tanner televises all Metro Conference games.
the southwest Conference, the Missouri Valley Conference.
Del Brinkman, dean of the School of Journalism and a member of the Big Eight Conference basketball television committee, said that the bidding had come down to two companies for the television rights - TVS and Anheuser-Busch-Katz Communications.
BRINEMAN SAID THAT the Anheuser-Busch-Katz company had offered a three-year contract at $7.5 million.
He said the committee possibly would meet in a telephone conference later.
He said he did not know what TVS had offered.
"There is a lot more to that figure," Brinkman said. "You have your nationally televised games and your money." There can be more money involved.
"But this way, with one set price tag, the new contract would give the conference the opportunity to distribute the television revenue more evenly."
In the Big Eight Conference, revenue from televised basketball games is handled by the conference office and is distributed to each school, James said.
The amount of money a school receives depends on how many games that school had televised and whether the game was either nationally or regionally televised.
LAST YEAR, KU received $73,383 in revenue from televised basketball games, according to assistant athletic director Susan Wachter. That put KU behind Missouri, Kansas State and Nebraska in money received.
"In the past, we never had have a concrete television contract for college basketball games," Brinkman said. "In the future, we may have one set rate."
