    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    Only a fool puts all of their assets in the hands of one person (ESPN). ESPN has never negotiated in good faith with anyone. ESPN will hedge its investments if this doesn't work out, and the SEC will feel it. I don't get how fans of ISU have against the B1G when a few weeks ago you were happy...

    I know who owns Disney. My wife used to work for them as a media rep. Also, I get it that you are speaking from a position of need. Iowa State needs a landing spot, so your views will be different.

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    BTN charges the cable system $1.10 if they are within the footprint of the B1G, and outside of the B1G footprint is $.40. Also, you and others fail to realize a similar system of charging streaming services is in place. BTN is part of the sports package for YouTube TV, Sling, etc. I don't know...

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    I never said those schools didn't have national appeal. I think perception outways most views on teams. For example, Auburn won a national championship less than 10 years ago, but they are second fiddle to Alabama in every way. So they are not viewed as being on par with Alabama, and it's the...

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    First Michigan is overrated and Penn State isn't far behind. Second, There is Alabama then the rest of the SEC. Let's not act as if every team in the SEC is god. As for the $80 million, it wasn't random. The B1G went from $33 million (2016) to the current $54 million and will the current TV...

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    I think you allowed yourself to inject some Big 12 flavor into calculating the payout for the SEC. ;) How do you know the B1G will increase payouts annually in the range of 5%, but the SEC will see increases in the neighborhood of 50% with the addition of OU and UT. The SEC will deal only with...

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    Unless CFP Governance turns over the playoffs to ESPN, there is no reason for OSU or PSU to leave for the SEC. Teams from the B1G still have a path to the championship. There is a reason why ESPN doesn't want the CFP to go to the open market because they will likely lose control and impact their...

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    In general, cable subscriptions are dwindling, but you have to put it into context. Are there enough sports fans (hardcore) willing to drop cable and subscribe to streaming services in the format ESPN wants with ESPN+? No, because lost in it is the casual fan who isn't willing to pay directly...

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    I think you might be wrong that cable subscriptions are a dying breed. Unless you are one of the top 10 or 15 schools with a large following and are willing to pay for streaming services, it's not the way to go. Streaming services alone won't earn teams the money they earn from cable...
