■ESPN will renew the Big Ten
ESPN will pre-emptively renew its Big Ten package earlier than expected. The conference will see a big increase in money, of course, but ESPN will not have as big a package of games.
I see the Big Ten putting a better package of football and men’s basketball games on Big Ten Network and shopping the rest to Fox Sports. The conference will wind up making $30 million a school annually from its media deal — a record new TV deal.
