If you're going to expand West, do it right. Makes no sense leaving UCLA and USC out there by themselves. One metric that I'm sure is being evaluated is if the addition of the "Next 4" brings in a market share from their respective regions (San Francisco, Seattle, Eugene/Oregon) that brings in value above the division of media rights money across 20 teams (vs 16). Certainly from a logistics standpoint, having more West Coast teams allows for regional groupings, cutting down on overall travel costs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an article the other day saying that ND wants $75M/year to stay independent. Their current deal is $15M/year, I believe, so that would be a huge jump. I guess being able to give ND this kind of deal is dependent upon NBC being able to make deals with other conferences to have other games to pair with ND games. I can't stand ND so I hope they don't get that deal and are forced to join a conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear something last week on one of the national shows that for NBC to up the ante to ND, they want a tie-in with one of the other major networks. That is, they want a Fox/CBS or ESPN to show a major conference game as a lead-in to their ND broadcasts. to me that just is another aspect of the arrogance surrounding that program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major conferences already have programming affiliations. ND has been NBC’s only college football presence. If they don’t pony up they’ll be stuck broadcasting English soccer on Saturday afternoon? Just my take on things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue7 Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 You ever wonder if a university president ever says we are not a football minor league for the nfl ? Purdue & IU have billions of dollars in value to the state….and it ain’t college football PS. President would be run out of town on the Monon Rail…if he went D2 or deemphasized athletics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoyeCowbell Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 When the Big Ten signs its $1B+ media rights deal, I sure hope they give a sweetheart deal to Ro*Tel. Those diced tomatoes were with the BTN from the beginning. Gotta respect the real ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Under Armour terminates the $280 million, 15-year contract with UCLA, which was signed in 2016. The company said: “Under Armour has recently made the difficult decision to discontinue our partnership with UCLA, as we have been paying for marketing benefits that we have not received for an extended time period. The agreement allows us to terminate in such an event and we are exercising that right." The deal ranks as the highest price shoe and apparel sponsorship in college sports history. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/under-armour-wants-280-million-193223425.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we left ESPN twist in the wind. Only though now is regarding hoops you have to believe the Big 10/ACC tourney might be on hold or done with in coming years.

They could do it with the ACC home games on ESPN, and the big 10 home games on whatever channel they pick. Wether it be Fox/FS1 adequate coverage of hoops or BTN coverage of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell for sure. The egos in Bristol are pretty big. I could see it ending. Going to be really weird to hear the CBS intro music for the 330 game and it not being SEC Football but Big 10. Weird times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
