Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1794828, member: 622"] I remain skeptic, too. The Fox deal was "up to XXX" and that included first choice of games for that price. If ESPN takes any of the top games, then the Fox price would presumably go down a bit. Still not convinced there are 50 games worth the value the two are paying but if so, this bodes well for all conferences as they are all being underpaid! No matter how much ESPN cries poverty, there is no excuse for not tripling everyone's payout. The B1G ratings do not support a payout triple to everyone else unless the networks have been low balling everyone for many years. I have suspected that there is much more money available than we are often led to believe, this makes me believe there is much more available. [/QUOTE]
