Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 2954673, member: 3850"] We forget that ESPN and Fox share rights with three of the five power conferences... And they meet each spring to "draft" who gets to televise what. Fox's Michael Mulvihill on process" [I]In the college draft, the conferences put together a game schedule [with the dates] but then we and ESPN sit down and actually choose game windows in the Spring where we’ll say — and we have the number one pick in the Big Ten draft — we’re going to take the first selection on November 24th. We pick that date obviously with an eye toward it being Ohio State-Michigan, but we don’t literally take Ohio State-Michigan. We just take the right to have the first choice on November 24th.[/I] [I]And then ESPN will choose the right to have the first choice on a week in September....etc.[/I] [/QUOTE]
