Greg is out!
Todd is out!
Jon takes control of the show and invites Husker Mike!
We talk about Big Ten media rights, because Mike knows that stuff better than anyone else I know that isn’t fully employed in the media.
So.... the Big Ten is going to negotiate new media rights. The players - ESPN, Fox, CBS, and NBC.
We discuss (well, mostly Mike answers my questions) how the TV rights of Big Ten sports might be split up between the networks.
Mike proposes that the following mix might happen with Big Ten football:
Fox - Big Noon Saturday - Big Ten game of the week
CBS -2:30 - Another high profile Big Ten game
NBC - Primetime - Yet another high profile Big Ten game
FS1/BTN - everyone else that week
This would give the Big Ten three games on broadcast TV, meaning people could pick those games up with just an antenna.
