Wow! 1 billion annually or 71 million/school according to the article.

So let’s remind ourselves, how do the schools spend that money?

And if I understand correctly, ACC media rights isn't up for renewal until 2035. yikes...

Let’s just get to it already. Let the Big 10 and SEC pick through the remaining Big 12, PAC and ACC teams that add any value to them and leave the remaining carcasses to reconstitute another division of football.

I said at the time of conference restructuring that Rutgers of all teams was the big winner. They have done nothing of significance ever (I repeat ever) but yet land with the one of the two BIG boys. Go figure.

Could be wrong but I do not see any media company paying a billion dollars for B1G rights.

Content is king, Someone will pony up the cash whether it’s ESPN, cbs,
Fox, apple, Amazon, Netflix, etc.

Tend to agree with this at this point.

Good article.

With Fox reaching an extension with the Big Ten, what happens now for ESPN and other possible rights suitors?

Fox has renewed with the Big Ten while other media companies lineup to strike their own deal. What will shake out?

The author thinks ESPN will try and keep CBS and NBC from getting involved with the B1G period. Of course, Fox also has half the rights and could hook up one of those networks as well.

Should be interesting to watch develop.

Especially with what is going on with NIL, until they can figure who will exist in the new divisions, new contracts are going to be lower.

If the B10 is smart, they would drop Rutgers. They add nothing. Every conference needs bottom feeders, but they have a couple of traditional B10 teams filling that role. They don't need a leech like Rutgers.

I am all for the B1G gobbling everyone up. How nice would it be to have a B1G Northeast Division of Penn State, Rutgers, Maryland, Pitt, BC, SU? That would give us 5 of our Top 6 most played FBS opponents.

But seriously, 71 million clams, what does it pay for? Are they diverting to general fund?

If they lob 6k academic bonus at 100 football players (approx) that’s 600k, which displaces - what? - out of 71 million?

IMO there’s too much tax waiting to be claimed here. Folks should keep their heads down when there’s wolves about.

That is so damn ridiculuos!! # 1, the SEC is hands down the best conference by far & i doubt they were gonna get that amount but if this happens im sure it would force espn's hand. Plus & obviously the ACC better do everything possible and right at the meetings and then some. NO DIVISIONS!! BYE!, do much better with the network plus whatever other tricks they can pull out of their sleeves.

Perhaps i should read the article but sounds like desperation time for everyone but 2 p5's probaly sooner than i thought. UUUGGGHHHHHHH

Big 10 is boring. Waste of money...but sports is only live TV option left for advertisers.
