CBS and NBC most likely will get the BIg Ten deal. The nfl on Saturday is here and I still believe we are not done with expansion nor do tv GOR etc matter as this thing speeds up. The networks are driving things and they want to control things.
ESPN / ABC is SEC
NBC/CBS/ FOX is BIG X
Fox also BIg XII
I don’t see how in the next 12-24 months there is anything other than just three leagues. The networks and those at the top of college ball know the NFL gets 10b per year in tv rights. College Ball on Saturday if it’s organized the same way will pull similar numbers eventually and a lot more than it does right now.
