You could be right. I’ve been losing a lot of faith in the sports world these days, and when I heard Charles was going to ESPN, I didn’t look into the details. Just kinda cried a little
Sorry to hijack thread. The OP provided some pretty cool news overall, I think.
You have to appreciate that many of these games, which would have previously aired on ESPN+, are now being shown on linear networks. Great job by Yormark for maximizing viewership!
They are and that transaction triggered movement of B12 games from ESPN+ to TNT as a "trade".
If the money is right, that will be the goal for the new B12 TV deal when the current deal with ESPN/Fox expires.
So Charles is available for CFB studio shows! It’ll be about the level of preparedness of the March Madness shows, but that’s when he’s at his best.
Bare with me through this prologue. Fandom is psychologically fascinating. The most popular sport in the world is, by American standards, really boring. But then, why is it the most popular sport? Having played it at almost every level throughout my life, early on even I could attest to its boredom. BUT, then I started to watch the game 'within' the game (the part I was really good at). That's where it gets much more interesting. But, it's easier in soccer to do that because outside of spacing and gaps, soccer focuses around the ball. Football is different, but no less interesting 'off the ball'.
We're constantly hearing about CMC saying "Be the best version of yourself". Therein lies the 'interest' of playing inferior opponents in football; the game within the game. So that, along with doing anything I can to boost the B12, is why I'll be watching this bahhh schedule. Imagine a strong enough movement where every B12 fan is watching these games. In 2 hours, we would change the landscape. Don't even get me started on gambling 'within' the game or how AI is going to impact viewer experience. It's mind boggling where this is all going. And, I believe we have the right man leading the conference to exploit the dynamics of future viewing.

This is going to be great. The production value is going to be amazing, kinda wish they would rope in Netflix next. then, 2030 comes around and we're in a better position for more money... hopefully.
Only if you don’t have a streaming package like YTTV. The games will be on TNT if you have a package.
OHHH, Believe me, I have "a Package".
