admo Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 So, CBS and NBC have emerged... Let me try to decipher this ... B1G Network - B1G games FOX Sports - college football and Pac 12 games ESPN/ABC or ABC/ESPN CBS - SEC football NBC (which also has Peacock) - Notre Dame And supposedly FOX and ESPN pay the most for B1G games. Hmmm.... wonder if we lean towards NBC over CBS Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I know most of us pretend to hate ESPN and we pretend to not watch it...but College Gameday is still the most popular and powerful CFB show out there...Not being on ESPN is at best, not a great idea. 4 Quote Link to comment

I included the other networks to give a broad scope. How about this. NBC is on board because they know Notre Dame is coming to the Big Ten. 1 minute ago, teachercd said: I know most of us pretend to hate ESPN and we pretend to not watch it...but College Gameday is still the most popular and powerful CFB show out there...Not being on ESPN is at best, not a great idea.

The BTN one I never watch. 2 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Is this a squeeze by eSECpn against the B1G? Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Just now, Crusader Husker said: Is this a squeeze by eSECpn against the B1G? Maybe? But they are always hungry for live content so that would be kind of odd. As horrible as it is, Indiana vs Purdue will still draw better than most any other game that is not the marquee matchup of the weekend. Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I go to my son's games on Saturdays, so I tend to miss the college pre-game shows. I haven't watched ESPN non-live sports shows in years. They are biased, pump everything towards their own interests, and seem to worry too much about politics. When I watch ESPN shows it makes me dislike sports. I feel that are too much about Entertainment and their own interests. Not much different than watching Pro Wrestling. Except I like watching pro wrestling. 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 59 minutes ago, Crusader Husker said: Is this a squeeze by eSECpn against the B1G? No clue, but I think the B1G has been negotiating behind closed doors and looking to grab onto NBC. With hopes for ND to join USC & UCLA. The conference would have the big ten network and NBC for games. ESPN is out after 40 years of our games (including ABC). Fox has rights to 22 pac-12 games a year. USC & UCLA left that conference. CBS has SEC games (and SEC Network) plus Army/Navy. ESPN and Fox might to do something to show ACC games, Big 12 games, Pac 12 games, and Memphis vs Houston type games. I'm just guessing Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 B1G will now have 3 national over the air games each week - Fox at 11am, CBS at 2:30, and NBC at 7:00. Quote Link to comment

Because CBS has always had SEC game of the week at 2:30. SEC might also have an ABC game with 2 teams playing (Bama vs AM for example). Quote Link to comment
