BCCI looks set to lose vote on revenue sharing model

[honestbharani]

IPL i know, big franchise, big names; But what about the rest well attended? domestic LO and FC.

Nope.. not at all. At least the BCCI were smart enough to sell their domestic games as a package deal wtih the internationals though. So there is always the odd game or two in a season that gets crowds. But this is one area where CW really helped change and shape my perspective. I always thought attendance figures and TV viewership were extremely important for the domestic games but having read many excellent posters' opinions here, I have realized that the purpose of any domestic league is to act as a feeder for the cash-cow, which is the international team. So it will always be an investment/cost-centre but something always necessary. Now, if, of course, you manage to make some money out of selling it as well, then so much the better.

No... OS specifically said percentages were pulled out of nowhere. I asked for proof.

How about you backup re the 80%..

 

[honestbharani]

Like I said, read the position paper.

 

[Pratters]

There is no proof about it there.

hb, do you prefer the proposed model or the BCCI model?

disappointed that our stupid board sided with keeping the current big three system- glad it didn't go through personally..

Neither. I would prefer *****'s model where the Associates fund is taken off the list first and remaining amount is distributed based on the percentages it would amount to based on the BCCI model. That way all members are giving up a fair share of the pie for the "greater good of the game", unlike right now where BCCI is being made the only one who has to bear the cost of both the Associates share and the ICC admins share. That is just ridiculous any which way you look at it. I won't be surprised if Manohar's resignation drama was to ensure nobody took them to court.

Yeah I think that has its merits too. But between the two, which one do you prefer?

 

[honestbharani]

You mean when forced with just two wrong options? Does it even matter? It is basically a bargaining game now, like at the local markets. BCCI says 570, CoA says 450, Manohar says 400. I wont be surprised if they wound up at 500.

Yeah look ultimately everyone considers their own benefits. SLC wants to host an Independence Cup next year and BCCI have agreed to take part, plus if I'm not mistaken, BCCI are scheduled to tour Sri Lanka for a full series this year.

But which do you prefer..

Yeah funny how it works out, coz we toured there just last year and they are yet to tour here in the interim.

This is getting worse

CoA stops BCCI from serving notice to ICC | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. its gonna spiral out of control if some sense does not prevail. Remember this is basically BCCI politician Vs BCCI politician. They are both aware of each others' moves and well.

Nothing tangible will happen. Its just renegotiation.

This sport is heading in the same direction as football did in the '90s, i.e. down the pan because of money. All this is just a bunch of fat flatulent old suits trying to grab money.

Despite of what HB thinks ICC are doing some things right:

[honestbharani]

Yeah they never did anything right before this..

 

[Pratters]

Why don't you appreciate the ICC under Shashank Manohar instead of saying he is as evil as Srinivasan ?
