Big10 TV Deal Announced

Only a 7 year deal too; so the Big 10 can renegotiate for a new $14 billion deal in 2030, well before this 20-year lemon the ACC signed up for is over.
 
So, 3 games a week on broadcast TV? I suppose they gotta leave games for the Big10 network and other cable channels.

Beginning in the fall of 2024 (the year USC and UCLA officially join the conference), Big Ten football will air on Fox at noon, on CBS at 3:30 p.m. ET and on NBC in the primetime window.

I think ABC does 2/3 games each Saturday?

Probably see games on FS1 and other affiliates as well. Scooping the CBS 330 slot from the SEC is a big pull.

Royally. No way they let anybody out of the GOR now because even if the conference dissolves, then ESPN owns the rights.

I think there is a potential scenario where ESPN and the ACC dissolve the agreement if a more lucrative agreement (from the persppective of ESPN) can replace it. My gut tells me this is going to happen.

Don't ask for evidence or proof but I think the ACC's days as a conference are numbered. And I don't mean the ACC limps to 2036 then dies - I mean in the next year or two. Just a hunch. I do not have the sense that there is an economic equilibrium in college football right now - there are shoes that have not yet dropped/dominos that have not yet fallen. Things are far from over.

How can it get more lucrative for ESPN than it is now? If they dissolve it, that opens the door for anybody to bolt. So they would have to pay out more money to the bigger teams they want in the SEC and lose some other bigger teams to the B1G where they will not have any media. Right now ESPN and the ACC are locked for 14 more years.

It won’t, and Disney/ABC/ESPN will have to give up some profit margin if they want their contracted conferences to survive. College football cannot survive as is with some conferences paying $100 million and some paying $30 million.
 
So now B1G can shop in Atlanta. We can bolt, take the money and pay off the
GOR in the first year and laugh at UGA and the SEC riding the ESPN pony into regional oblivion!
Works for me.

Why not? The Sunbelt has had to whore out its teams to pay athletic budgets for forever.

All this consolidation is doing is dropping the number of D1 teams to 60 from 120. Unfortunately, our conference seems to be a have not due to poor management.

See that’s the problem with so many. This isn’t 1980 anymore. Amateur athletics no longer exist and haven’t in decades. I’m sad for fans who have just woken up because they seem lost in their thoughts. The problem for GT athletics has been two fold - the school of GT does not care about athletics and our conference has been run by pimps concerned about their own more than the group. That’s why we are where we are. And unless we have someone putting in work in the dark (I’m looking at you Cabrera) nothing will change and we’ll be a 3-6 win program for the foreseeable future.
