    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    You realize the BTN only plays the afterthought games and non revenue sports right? If the big ten wants to next media deal they could sell all the rights they want to to Amazon or Apple. The SEC could do the same.

    Because the BTN doesn’t own the rights bud, the conference does. That’s why the conference can Fox whenever they want. Right now they want to avoid streaming so partnering with only OTA networks makes sense. If they want to go a different direction they are more then welcome to. But good try

    Oh no, they own the majority of the BTN! They have the conference forever! Hahaha what a joke. Big ten can leave at the next media deal if they want. If streaming gains ground then poof they are gone. That’s like saying Verizon owns Apple. One has the actual product the other just handles...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Everything you have heard is from talking heads that are paid to make up stuff. That’s legit their job. No one who actually is involved is talking about that. There are 4 schools of value, UNC, FSU, ND and possibly Clemson although that’s failing fast. Also I have to laugh at the idea that the...

    Their contract is already public record, the information can just get FOIAed because they are public institutions. That’s why everyone in the know has been saying the GOR is ironclad. You realize that the SEC rights are up again before the ACC right? ESPN would be paying more for significantly...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    ESPN isn’t going to be involved with court at all, have never been named or even talked about. Again you get those teams at a bargain price, as long as they are in the ACC it’s in ESPN’s best interest to keep them there for minimal cost. No business would make that move when they are locked in...

    I would be pretty surprised if ESPN declines that extension, they are getting a bargain

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    That is 100% false on the big ten part, the schools didn’t want to be on streaming. It’s a big part of the reason Warren moved on, he misrepresented how many games would already be on streaming and the schools were and still are pissed. The NFL is ratings proof. CFB is not. The Notre Dame...

    Dude you’re making a conspiracy theory out of nothing. CFB does not want their big games on streaming, it’s not hard, it’s not some shady back room deal. It’s just that simple. The NFL has one wildcard game that just started this season and people hated it plus it has the lowest ratings of the...

    Of course they would jump, they would be idiots not to, ya got a source for that first sentence?

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Wow this is just so off. The NFL has one game a week on streaming, same for the NBA. That’s not as much content as you think. Also just becuase they don’t have regular season content why wouldn’t they still want the playoff that almost always draws more eyeballs then the regular season games...

    It’s a struggle for many. Gotta turn all screens off an hour before bedtime and set up a regular bed time routine. Get that sub conscious working in your favor. Easier said then done but works when applied correctly.

    Opposite, Washington and Oregon came to the big ten. No one in the PAC wanted to be on streaming only as it’s kind of a death sentence for relevance currently, that will change over time. The PAC was also never able to put a deal on the table, that’s what good reporters like Jason Schryer were...
