Louisville to the ACC, UConn not invited.
Big 12 considers and then drops expansion plans, UConn not invited.

Yeah, I'm not feeling great about trends.

Welcome to hazing. What a self entitled fanbase we are.
 
My belief has been that we would be called up when ESPN allowed it. I continue to believe that it will happen when it makes sense for a conference to take us based on network opportunities (ie. ESPN/FOX make it worthwhile). ESPN will ride UCONN and the AAC gravy train as long as they can, but a time will come when they will need to pay us or move us elsewhere.

UConn will need to be very aggressive with both the conference and ESPN in the next go round. I can live with an AAC schedule as long as we get enough money to compete at the highest level and we schedule well OOC. If that can't be accomplished, we need to play chicken with everyone and make firm, public plans to go indy/CUSA etc. in football and move all other sports to the Big East. We are a short time away from reckoning day and we'd better have a plan in place to: a. make a serious stand and negotiate our pay and b. win a lot of football games so we won't be laughed out of the room.

I think we have a big problem on our hands but I also believe it it is something we can take better control of. I am going to remain positive and believe that our leadership is sharp enough to figure it out. I've been disappointed in the past but we have an awful lot of brain power on our side right now.

Every game will be televised on either ESPN or Fox, as part of the conference’s new TV deal.

No joke, I had a dream 2 nights ago that this happened. Was pissed when I woke up. This is my life now.

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin went red. What does that mean, again?

@Fishy, ACC troll alert.

:(

Illinois went blue. The Big Ten is headquartered in Chicago. A stronger bridge needs to be created. :p

Big Ten confirms TV deals with CBS, ESPN, FOX at Media Days

In his opening remarks at Big Ten Media Days on Monday, conference commissioner Jim Delany mentioned the new contracts. The conference had not commented on the TV agreements in the 13 months since Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand reported ESPN had bought “essentially half” of the Big Ten’s remaining media rights package. FOX has the other half of the package for an average of $240 million per year. Ourand also reported CBS had told the conference it would renew its basketball-only deal, also for the remaining six years, at $10 million per year.

Like Fox Sports, ESPN will have around 25 football games and 50 basketball games each year — programming that will provide big ratings and an advertiser-friendly audience of diehard alumni in some of the country’s biggest media markets.

The difference between the two packages is that Fox Sports will carry the Big Ten football championship game every season, which is a strong draw each December. Fox also will have game selection advantages over ESPN, which almost certainly means that the coveted Michigan-Ohio State rivalry will move to Fox most years.

The deal nets the conference $2.64 billion over six years.

This is what about $30M a year per school? And that's not counting any BTN revenue.

I hate the American.
 
How can the other conferences possibly compete with the financial juggernaut that is the B1G? The $EC can, but the ACC, Big 12, Pac 64 have no shot. Wonder how long the anchor schools in those other conferences are willing to stand by and watch their revenue get doubled up by the likes of Northwestern and Rutgers?
 
The B1G payout will be $51.1 million per school in the 2017-2018 school year. This accounts for all revenues.

Maryland and Rutgers will receive less as they are still in their buy-in phase.

Nebraska is now an equal revenue partner starting in the 2017-2018 year and will receive $51.1 million like the rest minus Rutgers and Maryland.
