That is a pretty high price, but goes to show the targeted content in a hot market (high school sports is huge in many, many areas) commands a high price.

I’ll admit that, as a college football junkie, I’ve been following the sale of Rivals, Scout, Max Preps, CSTV, et al. with interest.

Rafat - any idea on what the Max Prep deal translates to in terms of multiples?  How does it compare to Fox-Scout deal?

What is the scout deal? I am not familiar with that one. Also, do you know what the multiple was for rivals?

Rivals was a $25 Milion revenue business rumor has it…

Scout deal was much less and I heard Scouts inc was a 14 Million deal with ESPN.
