The Big Ten Will Get A Huge TV Pay Day: Fans React

Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren has taken a lot of flak in his short tenure in the position. But the payday he just got the conference may have just

"On Wednesday, the Sports Business Journal reported that the Big Ten will become the first college conference to top $1 billion per year in its upcoming TV deal. The number will more than double the $440 million that the conference currently gets from Fox and ESPN."

Warren took a lot of flack for his handling of the Covid year. My concern was that he'd blow the TV deal, but it seems he's every bit the skilled negotiator that Jim Delany was.

The question is still WHO ponies up the money. I still hope ESPN gets it because they have the most channels to host the content. I really didn't like Fox having the rights, everything seemed second fiddle to the SEC content.

I don't remember who has the Rose Bowl but I'd like them to sign the Big 10 and the Pac12. Do doubleheaders each week along with the CCGs and the culminate with the Rose Bowl. Fuck the CFP

Well the SEC contract with Disney is thru 2033/34 at $300 million/year. i.e. $3 billion over 10 years.

As I said Disney holds all the cards at any renegotiation table. They aren't gonna give the SEC another $700 million/year because..... They Don't Fucking Have To.

Can you share your copy of the contract with us? I'd like to see this lack of clauses or escalators for new members or footprints. :suds:

It's not though. I'm happy they got more money, means we will do better as well. Rising tides.

Not my fault he posted an article that talked about SEC.
