Fox Sports is the Under Armour of sports coverage

SO does this take the place of IMG?

According to the release, Home Team Sports (owned by FOX Sports) will manage “athletics-related radio, corporate hospitality, in-venue signage, social media integration, promotional activities, and intellectual property rights, as well as other mutually agreed upon inventory” for the university.

After reading that story I'm wondering if this deal includes Auburn football games being broadcasted on Fox as well. I don't see how it can though with the CBS & ESPN/SEC Network contracts already being in effect. But on the other hand $120,000,000 is a lot of money for basically just radio.

This deal won't include televising football. All 14 teams gave up their football television rights to the conference.

So what is Learfield Sports in comparison to Fox Sports?

They must be reaching for straws to sign an SEC West bottom feeder. Sad day for Fox sports.

Well, what Auburn lacks in Athletic prowess they sure do make up for in hoodwinking imbecilic media groups like Fox

So many dumbasses in this thread

Auburn better share this equally with Texas A&M, or they will leave the conference.
