Watching PTI this afternoon, they discussed the deal NBC and Notre Dame just put together putting the Irish on NBC through 2020 or something like that. They also mentioned the TV deals other conferences had with TV networks, the Big Ten and ESPN, SEC and CBS and Pac Ten with Fox. They didn't mention the Big Twelve at all and that got me thinking. How big of a ratings boost for NBC would it be if they dropped the Irish, who earned a rating of 1.9 last year, for the Big Twelve? It seems like it would be a very good match with NBC picking up an immediate ratings boost and the Big Twelve finally getting a lucrative television contract with tons of exposure. Would this move be as good a thing as i think for both parties or am i living in a pipe dream?
