Big 10 and fox are inking a deal that will guarantee members $50 mil each and increase to perhaps even $70 mil. That's a lotta cheese for the NCAA to be locked out. I have a friend in media in KC, he says that kind of clink will doom the big 12. The SEC and pac will have to make a move.
 
The FOX deal is only for half the broadcast rights. ESECPN and Turner Broadcasting, among others, are interested in the other half. Interesting times. Mikey Boy may vaporlock before it's all said & done.

The beauty part is.....when this all goes down, Nebraska will be getting a full share!

Sounds like the Texas XII is sinking anyway. Not even Jiggsy's 497 year old "living legend", the Crypt Keeper, can save it. But Jiggsy will argue how it's all about the program, not the dough. Too bad he doesn't realize that without the dough, there won't be a program.

The SEC teams are already making in excess of $40 million. About time the B1G teams get above minimum wages. Especially the Hucksters.

The key to grabbing big audiences, and keeping the money flowing, during the regular season is Rivalries. Maybe the Hucksters can find one.........somewhere.

I hope the prca can get that kind of loot

I think the PRCA is going to wish they hadn't decided to prohibit ERA officers & stockholders from membership or from competing in PRCA sanctioned events. Sounds like the ERA got a nice TV deal, if I heard right. I don't know Karl Stressman, but before things begin to improve with the situation, I think he'll need to go on down the road. He worked too long at Wrangler, and his ability to be forward thinking with an eye to the future has been compromised.

Mikey, don't worry so about Nebraska. We'll be just fine with our full share of the big loot when it comes. And rivalries? Oklahoma is on the schedule for us again in the near future. Those games will be just as big a draw as anything the Criminal Conference ever did.
 
Oklahoma will be in the SEC before long. They won't waste a game playing the Hucksters cause everyone will laugh at them for playing a rollover team.

I'll bet the Hucksters wish they could make what Mich State will be making.
4/21/2016 The last school in the five major conferences handling its multimedia rights in-house is no more, as Michigan State announced a long-term multimedia rights partnership with FOX Sports on Thursday.

The deal, effective immediately for the 2016-17 academic year, is for 15 years and is worth at least $150 million as MSU will grant FOX Sports the marketing and corporate partnership rights linked to all 25 of its varsity sports.

"Now is the right time and FOX Sports is the right partner for Michigan State. FOX Sports can focus on building the Michigan State brand and leverage synergies with the FOX Sports family of networks, including FOX Sports Detroit and BTN," MSU athletic director Mark Hollis said in a statement. "The increased revenue will help Michigan State address the growing expenditures related to enhancing the student-athlete experience, including scholarships, cost of attendance, academic support, team travel, athletic training and medical services."

The deal covers Michigan State's print, radio and television programming, digital and social media integration, promotions, intellectual property, in-venue signage, corporate hospitality and more.

Spartan Sports Network still will produce game broadcasts, coaches' shows and its usual programming, which it has done since the 2000-01 season.

MSU now joins a list of partnerships with FOX Sports that includes USC, Auburn, Villanova, Georgetown and the Big East, while also boosting the relationship between the Big Ten and FOX Sports as it is the operator and majority owner of the Big Ten Network.

Why worry about Meatchicken State? They need to worry about Nebraska.

If Oklahoma is stupid enough to join the Criminal Conference, they'll get what they deserve. All they need do is exchange their Texass kneepads for Alabama kneepads. My guess is they'll go B1G.
 
Based on the new Big Ten TV deal info, the B1G and SEC are playing chess and the rest of the Power 5 is playing checkers

The b12 commish didn't know there was a game on, or that some players work late when billions are at stake.

I think OU is most likely to go big10. If the SEC wants OU, they could outmaneuver the big 10 by taking OSU. I think the big 10 needs OU for fb credibility - the sec doesn't. Big10 needs Nebraska vs OU, or Ohio st vs OU. Michigan vs OU. The state of Oklahoma doesn't bring a compelling TV footprint, but OU vs the power in the big 10 is a national matchup
 
OU has already floated trial balloons towards the SEC in order to figure out how to approach them for entry into the SEC.

Now if the SEC could swap Missouri for OU, it would be a done deal. But the SEC would need another school to keep both divisions even in numbers of teams. Georgia Tech has asked but when they left the SEC it was ugly and the SEC said never again. So that seems to be out.
 
OU floating trial balloons? That's funny. Any conference will make a slot for OU. If they won't, don't talk about them playing chess - hell even the checkers players have OU figured out.

There are 2 big influences into where OU lands 1) divorcing from OSU & 2) a big contingent of OU alums and faculty like the fact OU is a member of the smarty smart universities (and OSU isn't) and that pushes toward b10. This is why b10 can take OU without OSU, but sec cant. OU can't divorce OSU and go to sec. If sec has to take OSU to get OU, it's not so attractive.
 
The B1G would take OU & KU in a heartbeat. KU for basketball, of course. I thought I read somewhere that the Okie legislature passed a law prohibiting OU from switching conferences unless there was a place for Okie State at the table as well. My guess is that that cost T. Boone Pickens some dough.

Didn't the Pac-12 turn down both OU and Texas a few years ago when the Big 12 was about to go under.
