Big Ten Media

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

This says we will not be in ESPN. 

 
CBS?  Lame

Was the last Husker PPV game vs SDSU?  That boring a$$ 24-3 game or something like that?  Anyone remember?

Right, no ESPN/ABC.  Wich leaves NBC (Notre Dame), CBS (SEC game of the week).  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.

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.

I couldn’t care less. I don’t really watch any of the pregame shows.

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.

 
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.

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

 
B1G will now have 3 national over the air games each week - Fox at 11am, CBS at 2:30, and NBC at 7:00.

Really?  Because CBS has always had SEC game of the week at 2:30.   :dunno

SEC might also have an ABC game with 2 teams playing (Bama vs AM for example).
