ESPN just dropped $1.14B over 6 years on BIG 10 and ACC still doesn't have

a network?

Are we going to get an IOU from ESPN? (Along with the meager $45M - split 14 ways?) Meager because the BIG 10 is getting $190M per year for the next 6 years.

It's becoming abundantly clear ESPN is not intimidated by a $45M fee - time to look at other providers (NBC and/or CBS) that haven't blown their total budgets on BIG 10 or SEC content.

This situation is what the "look in" is designed to address. -- HOO86 06/21/2016 8:57PM

Do you think it is realistic for the deal to double during a look-in? -- Colonel Jessup 06/21/2016 4:50PM
