Big Ten finalizing a deal with Fox, CBS, and NBC for media rights. ESPN will no longer carry B1G games after deal expires

well, at least Bama will still have the possibility of Beth Mowins in the press box...
Well, it sounds like it will just be Fox Sports for the cable part of the package.
The interesting part of this to me is NBC. They did want a lead-in for Notre Dame, but this could put them in a situation to try to force Notre Dame into the Big 10. They would own some Big 10 TV rights, why pay big money to keep their deal with Notre Dame?
The broader implications would be that the battle lines would be way more clearly drawn. ESPN vs. these other media companies and specifically SEC vs. Big 10. This gives the SEC some leverage if they do end up going after ACC schools in the future, since the deal both conferences have are with ESPN.
Who will we vilify now that Danielson is going away? I have the utmost confidence we will make a villin by October 2024.
For better or worse it is SEC/ESPN vs. B1G/Over the Air Networks.
I prefer Over the Air, to be honest.
Don't know why so many Bama fans hate gary. According to lsu fans, he is a huge Bama fan.
Because he finds any negative thing against Bama and harps on it FOR-EH-VER. He blabbed about Terrance Cody's helmet being off after the Rocky Block for 20 minutes it seemed like.
I think he's ok. I think his overall knowledge and ability to point things out is probably in the top 3 in the game today. I think the best of the sport are in the NFL right now, though. I'm NOT referring to Cris Collinsworth.
I do to as well. I honestly don't think ESPN is that good for college football. Take bowl season for instance, it was great to be able to sit down and swap through channels and watch bowl games all day on broadcast TV. Championship games on cable? Stuff like that is bad for long term grown.
I remember reading somewhere that part of the NFL's strategy is that they wanted to keep a lot of games on broadcast. As I understand it that's one reason that ESPN didn't get the traditional big Monday night game. So yeah, it's a bit unfortunate that the SEC is on the pay tv side of things. However, if North Carolina is going to cut a deal to leave the ACC, ESPN is only going to offer friendly terms if the destination is the SEC...
I guess I should have put that first part in blue. My fault for assuming anyone would actually read the whole post.
Everyone’s favorite sideline reporter will find a way to torment you all
These are the same folks who thought Ed Orgeron was a good coach and Les Miles was a lousy one, too.
So, that means the B1G fans will see the first 10 minutes of their games
They also think and say the Tom Ritter was a Bama fan and graduate and was Bill Battle's roommate. I kept seeing it so much I looked it up. Ritter went to Rice, just FYI. I knew it was a lie.
I don't understand either. Fox sucks. NBC sucks. I like all the broadcasts. I guess my standards are pretty low.
Soooooo TRUE!So, that means the B1G fans will see the first 10 minutes of their games
