CBS B1G Music Intro!!

The report also shows that the deal will grow to 10 billion for expansion. So the B1G is absolutely not done expanding. This is massive!!! Also, it was reported today that the remaining PAC schools are set to lose $13 mill a year. It will be even more of a loss once the B1G expands again and adds Oregon and Washington. Now that the raw numbers are out, expect conference expansion to heat up again. Remember, the deal reaches 10 billion with expansion.

Yep, all those Big10 sports events that I was watching on the previous channel will now just be on this other channel instead.

The Big Ten is making the SEC irrelevant.

I really thought the college sports bubble was going to explode a couple of years ago.

I have to say, I hope the conference doesn't get turned mostly into 3:30 and night games. B1G football is meant to be played at noon.

The SEC gets about 800 million per year to share between 14 teams.

This isn't a huge gap.

ETA: We'd have to see the increase breakdown to determine how large the gap is. But SEC should get something similar when they add OU and UT.

Remember that scene from Avengers Infinity War where the Avengers were fighting their hearts out, but ultimately fighting a losing battle against Thanos, just throwing their best shots at him, and he puts his finger on the side of his head and there’s like a little smudge of blood on his finger. The Big Ten is the Avengers and the SEC is Thanos

I’m still curious as to where this TV money is going to come from on a long-term basis as Americans continue to cut the cord from national networks and shift toward streaming services.

ESPN lost Disney a boat load of cash and it doesn’t appear to be turning around any time soon.

And all that money still won't land you the elite talent in the south.

B1G fans sound a lot like Texas/Texas A&M fans these days. "Look at all this money! You can't compete with us when we have all this money!" Meanwhile they continue to get embarrassed on the field.

CBS going from SEC #1 to Big 10 #2 is something. Getting USC and, eventually, ND is huge for the network. Otherwise, they are getting Illinois at Michigan State weekends.

I think the most significant parts of the deal are the three Over the Air games at noon, 2:30pm and 7 pm. People can watch the three biggest games of the conference for free and with cord cutting this could be bigger down the road.

The SEC will be fine, but I don't know if having more games on ESPN and ESPN+ and SECN is the best move now. I mean could all the big SEC games in one weekend be all on ESPN or SECN? Of if ABC is only going to broadcast one SEC game per week is that good? I would love it if the SEC had three OTA games for free each Saturday.

There is absolutely no other way to slice it but the SEC has been completely pants’d this time around in TV negotiations. Sankey has dropped the ball big time

B1G marketing motto: “Bar TV sets that have a game on, that no one is watching, are still TV sets with a game on damnit”

I say this as an Illinois grad: putting your TV ad on a Baton Rouge station during an LSU game will have a higher marketing impact than putting your TV ad on a Chicago station during an Illinois or Northwestern Game…despite the fact that the Chicago market is 10-15 times bigger than the Baton Rouge market.

To me, it's obvious the Big Ten is going to add another 2-4 schools from the Pac 12. If Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado were smart they should jump to the Big 12
