An 8 game conference schedule with a 93 team conference is dumb as shit. As it currently stands, UGA has never played in college station despite being in the same conference for a decade.
Quite the student experience not even getting to visit all the campuses in the conference. Bama has played in Nashville twice in the Saban era
Why are they begging people to take A&M -2 against Auburn on 11/12? I figured that line would be closer to 10-14
SBJ Big Ten update: Meetings happening this week The Big Ten and Fox Sports have meetings set up all this week with at least six media and tech companies looking to pick up the college conference’s rights, sources tell me. Fox already has a deal in place to remain the conference’s biggest media partner, though the size of that package still hasn’t been determined as the conference figures out who its other media partners will be. Currently, Amazon, CBS, ESPN and NBC are jockeying for the rest of the package, which could be sold to one, two or three other bidders. Execs from Warner Bros. Discovery and Apple will meet with the conference this week, too. But several sources say that talks with these two companies have not progressed, and they are considered dark horse candidates at best. When all is said and done, the Big Ten is poised to become the first college conference to eclipse the $1 billion mark for media rights annually. Negotiations are expected to continue through this month; a final deal could come in late summer. The point of this week’s meetings is to come up with the specific packages the networks want and the price they will pay. So far, CBS has been aggressive about getting a game for its late Saturday afternoon window, and NBC has shown interest in a Saturday night primetime window for Big Ten football. ESPN has made clear its desire to keep Big Ten games on its channels, too. The wild card is Amazon, which has made a strong push to bring the conference’s rights to Prime. Fox Sports and the Big Ten are co-managing the rights. BTN, which is majority owned by Fox, controls the conference’s media rights and has been negotiating with media companies looking to pick them up.
I imagine the league would get off big time to Big Nude on Fox, the 3:30 game on CBS and a NBC game at night.
CBS is looking to replace their 3:30 SEC game with another conference? Or they're trying to have two?
I have no idea if this is true and I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere else, but a ND friend told me that NBC is trying to work out the PAC 12 as well, and couple it with some type of scheduling agreement when they renew ND. Basically, ND schedule USC, MSU, Purdue, and Michigan so those games stay on NBC.
He didn't stay the bar I'm at for long. Apparently his girl liked the artist that was doing an album release. After that was.over they headed out onto Broadway
can’t say I’ve had the opportunity to distinguish many Ohio State cocks but onc took a piss at a Roosters next to Taylor Decker
My brother in law worked for his brother’s company, which drug tested the Bengals mid-00’s. Rudi Johnson had the biggest dick on the team.
Possibly, but they literally had to certify that they saw the cock of each player pissing in the cup. Eventually, his brother in law picked up the Reds, Tigers, and Pacers. My brother in law quit before the NBA, so probably didn’t see the biggest cocks.
On the Marchand and Ourand podcast, Marchand said he expects Amazon to get a B1G game or two a week in the next deal. My guess is ESPN gets shut out entirely and Fox, CBS, NBC and Amazon each get games.
I'm not sure shutting out ESPN is a favorable play in the short term. At least until the cfp rights are distributed to other networks.
The cfp games should go to separate networks and a third network should get the natty and those should all rotate.
+ South Carolina’s Spencer Rattler won a year of free Raising Cane’s chicken after throwing a football through a basketball goal from around 40 yards out. Rattler was a little off on his other throws, but goes home with free chicken for a year.
