Eyeballs, markets with good/decent teams. SDSU may apply here, I’ve said it before………… plus then the PAC has a harder time expanding.

Anyone know anyone at CBS? Put in a good word for us.
So is CBS done with the SEC after 2024? Or I guess the SEC is done with CBS?
2023. I think the SEC was done with CBS. As far as I understand it CBS got the SEC games for relative peanuts at the beginning of that deal.
Their deal is over at the end of the 2023 season, the next rights will be for the 2024 season, when ESPN takes over. The ESPN deal is for $300 million a year, the CBS deal was for $55 million a year.
If ESPN got the SEC with 16 teams for 300M per year, that sounds like Peanuts to me, they must not get a lot for that. Must only be Tier 1, and still a deal. That's less than 19M per.
They are talking in the range of 300M per year for the Pac right now.
55M when the last deals were done was a steal but was still within the margin of the others for when it was.
CBS also promoted the SEC to what they are now, so who’s the real winner?
Next time we host GameDay she needs to be our guest picker.
Well that sounds less than ideal for Big12, I'm sure NBC and CBS are paying handsomely for that content. Are they buying it from FOX? This is confusing.
This is why I hope CBS bids on the Big 12. The way they promoted the SEC was huge. While I don’t think we would get the same boost as the SEC, any help would be great.
CBS & NBC are getting the inventory ESPN had.
B1G tv line-up will look probably like this:
11 am on Fox
2:30 on CBS
6 pm (or around there) on NBC
Rest of inventory on FS1 & Big Ten Network
Answered my own question:
"Fox agreed to the "A" package months ago. As part of its deal, it will carry a football game on the broadcast network at noon ET, plus football games on its cable channels FS1 and BTN, in which it holds a 60% stake.
The conference’s deals with CBS and NBC are not finalized. But it looks like the two networks are in the lead to split a "B" package. CBS would pick up games for the 3:30pm ET window, and NBC would carry games in primetime. NBC’s streaming service, Peacock, also would wind up carrying some games. Amazon has bid on these packages, but sources described CBS and NBC as the clear front-runners."
Big Noon game on Fox. Regional B1G games at noon and 3:30 est on BTN and FS1. CBS game at 3:30 est. Prime time on NBC.
