Signing only a six-year deal, “probably means [the Big Ten] didn't get the money they wanted,” one source said.
One industry insider told CBS Sports that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany sought a long-term deal through 2032. There may not have been the money in the market for such a deal, or Delany may have strategically tried to line up the next deal close to when NFL deals expire with CBS, Fox and NBC after the 2022 season when, theoretically, more money could be available in the market.

I am glad to see Fox fighting the ABC/ESPN stranglehold. Fox will now have the majorityl or part of the Big 12, Pac 12 and Big 10.
