Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1794898, member: 652"] The Big Ten is publicly saying they signed 6 year contract with ESPN/FOX/CBS for 2.64 billion. 2.64B/6= 440 million per year. I believe it. FOX needs inventory for FS1. They only have half of the Big XII FB package and half of the entire Pac-12 package and Big East basketball. Even though I bet ESPN keeps Ohio State-Michigan every year like they keep Oklahoma-Texas from Big XII. The Wisconsin-Iowa or Nebraska-Minnesota games will help FOX get ratings. ESPN was paying 100 million a year for the entire Big Ten package. So the conference didn't get the overpay it got from FOX in 250 million for half but getting 180 million from ESPN for half was good negotiations for both sides. [/QUOTE]
