Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1746589, member: 652"] Tirico lives in Ann Arbor and did the Big Ten Super Tuesday college basketball games the last 5 years. So he does have an appetite for the Big Ten. I don't see NBC paying for the Big Ten though. If ESPN wouldn't it is doubtful NBC/NBCSN would pay the amount FOX did. I think the Big Ten will get a little more from ESPN and take their deal to keep ESPN exposure for the Big Ten coaches. I will say times are changing and ESPN is really going downhill. Tirico will get TNF, Golf, Ryder Cup, Olympics that isn't bad. If NBC stepped up for the Big Ten he would be their obvious lead voice but I have heard Al Michaels is going to retire after Super Bowl 52. [/QUOTE]
