Message: [QUOTE="CAtlantic, post: 4333406, member: 11388"] college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h Sourced info (aka a real source, not fake BTM): Big Ten TV deal likely to be announced on July 26th. ESPN/ABC, CBS and NBC are still going after 40 % of the contract. ESPN is trending to not being in the contract. More..... college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h The dollar value of the contract is expected to be $1.2 Billion. The latest on how many protected rivalries for no divisions is 4. I know I've said 2 before, but this just puts 2 on top 2. Changes nothing, really. Amazon will not be in the TV contract. college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h With the Big Ten TV contract highly likely to be FOX 11amCT, CBS 230 pm CT, FS1 weekly game, NBC 630ct, BTN game, that is 5 out of 7 weekly conference games. Like I said the other day, there simply isn't enough content to cover FOX, CBS, NBC, FS1, BTN with 14 schools. college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h and you also have NBC's Peacock streaming a weekly game. With the Pac 12 TV valued expected to be half of the Big Ten, FOX will be sending Washington, Oregon, USC, UCLA (maybe others) to the Big Ten. Not a complete merger, but pretty damn close. college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h July 26th is said to be the day the Big Ten announces their new TV deal. Not saying things wouldn't leak before through the Sports Business Journal, but the actual release on that day. college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h Thus, to recap the Big Ten TV deal info - no Amazon, Peakcock to stream 1 weekly game, likely 4 protected rivals, CBS afternoon, NBC night, FOX big game, FS1, BTN. Pac 12 schools to join the Big Ten. Some will say this is ending up as a P2, NO!. It's a new division coming. Xander Peters ‍‍♂️‍♂️ @HipXander · 4h Replying to @Genetics56 So Big Ten National Conference kinda new conference? What would you imagine the SEC counters with when/if this all goes down? Notre Dame and then raid the ACC (so Clemson or FSU or Miami or UNC) to get to 20? college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h A bunch of the ACC schools. college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h Football only for the pac schools Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 2h Remember Oct - 2021 Q: “….From your viewpoint, what do you see the role of basketball when it comes to potential realignment…What role does basketball play in some of those decisions?” Kevin Warren: “Basketball plays an important role.” Part 1 Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 2h Replying to @flugempire Kevin Warren: “But I think from a basketball standpoint, that is a big component from kind of conference structure, realignment standpoint, is the importance of college basketball. Part 2 Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 1h If the miles between USC, Oregon, Washington, +1 vs the rest of Big Ten schools is too much to overcome for PAC schools to involve their revenue generating Basketball programs in joining the Big Ten than B1G expansion with Pacific Coast schools will not happen. Part 3 Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 1h Replying to @Expansion_Crush I’m not implying PAC schools are refusing to have their Basketball programs be part of Big Ten…I’m just saying without those programs included it’s not happening. If expansion happens it won’t be Football only add-ons. All revenue creating sports would be involved. Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 1h Big Ten might become national conference with addition of 2-4 top PAC brands, but it won’t be a conference with more schools in West than Eastern Timezone. It’s just not where the value is and it’s not what Ohio St, Michigan would care to do. Valuation might work with top 4. Murr@MurrDCU · 1h Would this be all sports or just a few money making sports? Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 1h As many sports as possible…but the point of the tweets is Basketball needs to be involved. If not, no deal. Just won’t happen. [/QUOTE]
