Less than that. Don't forget ESPN pays the NFL 300-400 million a year for rights to all NFL media (NFL Films etc,) in order to show highlights all week and feed their numerous discussion shows.



Okay. Let’s say the spend $350 million for those rights, (split it down the middle of that $300 to $400 range!

That means they are paying $1.65 billion to broadcast 17 regular season games and a single wildcard playoff game.


So they are paying almost $92 million per game.

That is a fricking terrible investment.

It's bad. NBC pays something like $600MM.
