WVU total third tier rights were worth over $9 million in 2013. I quote A D Oliver Luck right after the final IMG deal was signed: “Beyond the guaranteed money, we kept a couple of things that I would call lucrative items,” Luck revealed. “We keep the (advertising sponsorship) deal with United Bank and with WVU Health Care. That money comes straight to us.” Luck estimates that while $86 million over 12 years averages out to just over $7 million a year — WVU was grossing about $6 million a year in Tier 3 revenues before this contract, the additional rights they kept this time that were included in the first deal give the Mountaineers [U][COLOR=#ff4d4d]about a $9 to $9.5 million gross per year[/COLOR][/U].
