Regular Season TV ratings showed once again that the SEC and Big 10 are first among equals when it comes to the Power Five Conferences.
2015 has been a very good year for the Big 10. Ohio State captured the first college football playoff back in January, Michigan State is in the Final Four this season, and a total of 10 league teams will go bowling.
But as good as 2015 has been for the Big 10, 2016 shapes up nicely as well. The leagues media deals for 1st and 2nd tier rights to football and basketball end after the 2016-17 seasons, and the Big 10 is gonna get paid.
