Sort of. Now that the B1G is off of ESPN, more of their basketball games will find a way to FS1, leaving less spots for the Big East games.

This is not true. The vast majority of Big 10 basketball games are on BTN and BTN+. The Big 10 had 30 games on an ESPN network last season which is less than 2 per week. People don't seem to understand that more content is going to conference networks, not the big cable sports networks.

We don't know that at all yet until the deal is out. Those games could be going to CBS & NBC/USA. Fox Sports will get more games, but not 39 spots more.
Big Ten controlled games is 38 to Disney. 38 controlled games to Fox Sports. Games like Maui, PK80, Orlando don't count on those totals.

I’ve heard from the beginning that ND Administration wantEd to go to the Big10 but has gotten a ton of pushback from the alumni and interestingly the faculty. Alumni mainly over independence. Faculty because they see where this is headed and just think it is a bridge too far. They mostly support athletics ( or accept it, unlike say Rutgers) but not professional sports, at least at ND.
The ACC’s future is uncertain. The money tells you why
A WRAL News analysis of two decades of tax records from the top five NCAA athletic conferences reveals a revenue gap that is likely to grow significantly and could ultimately threaten the future of the North Carolina-based Atlantic Coast Conference.

A pro sports move would be a huge relief for the vast majority of any faculty anywhere.
Really interesting article on the PAC 12 Network.

ANDERSON: Virginia should take the opportunity to move to the Big Ten if presented
Many believe that the sport is moving into a new age of ‘mega-conferences’, where the Big Ten and SEC both expand further and become the dominant forces in college football.

This could lead to the schools themselves breaking away from the NCAA entirely. My bet would be if that happens, those leagues would invite the Big East, Ivy League, A-10, WCC, and MVC to join to form a 175-school athletic organization to replace the NCAA.Sources: CFP mulls breaking football out of NCAA

Goodman: Is the Big Ten positioned to surpass the SEC?
TV networks control the future of college football. Can the SEC stay on top with ESPN?

Without further expansion, the B1G deal averages $1.24 billion per year.
The SEC deal with ESPN is $300 million per year.
And the B1G will go out to bid again before the SEC does.
I wonder if SEC teams call up Kevin Warren now?

And not only that, but the B1G grabbed the SEC's Saturday afternoon time-slot from CBS.
B1G has the markets: Philly, NJ, Pitt, Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles.
SEC: Atlanta, Dallas, Florida, Houston, Nashville, St. Louis.

There was once a prediction on this board that UConn would one day find itself in the SEC. The theory was that the B1G would grow and the SEC would respond by moving up the eastern seaboard with Virginia Tech or similar and then take UConn. It would extend the SEC's reach dramatically and it would give Northeastern viewers geographically relevant schools to pull for in the SEC. It did and still does seem preposterous and impossible but.....
When you look at what the B1G is doing, it seems almost feasible that we could become attractive to the SEC if they decide to grow to 18-20 schools. Not only does the Northeast have a lot of good students who might be more inclined to apply to UF, Vandy or Auburn, but the SEC is an entirely southern league (maybe not Missouri) with no representation in the northeast megalopolis. They have nothing in NY, LA, Chicago etc. Meanwhile, the B1G is turning into a national monster in terms of markets. They are stretching sea to shining sea and scooping up almost every major market and most of the US population.

I believe revenue from BTN will need added to these figures as well. BTN will expand throughout California by the time USC and UCLA join, I’m assuming.
That SEC number is way off. That 300M was just for the CBS package that ESPN took from CBS. They were already getting like 400-500M from ESPN. They don't have 1B annually but it's close to that.
