Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1742997, member: 652"] ESPN will not lowball the Big Ten. They don't want FS1's ratings to go up. If Fox has the Big Ten it will legitimize FS1. ESPN will likely pay the 250 million for half of the rights. As right now FOX/ESPN split the Big XII football rights and Pac-12 basketball and football rights. ESPN owns all of the ACC, half of the Pac-12, all of Big XII basketball and half of football, all of the SEC basketball and all of football except the Tier 1 game on CBS. ESPN needs half of the Big Ten or else a lot of ACC football games will be on TV. [/QUOTE]
