Fox gonna make a massive bid

ESPN also on the hook for new nba deal to keep games
I don’t know if Stephen A could work for espn without his nba

What gives?

I don’t know if espn has a war chest to retain both

We all know espn heavily influences selection committee in favor of sec now
All bets are off if fox is in play with their big ten monopoly

I think it is going to be like an NFL model, the BIG10 partners will get some of the CFP and the SEC partners will get some, one year Fox gets the title game, then ESPN gets it, etc.

The playoffs should be one year with ESPN, another year Fox, another year CBS

You mean Disney has the war chest, and yes, it does.

I'd rather have Fox, at least they fricking stream in 4K.

I hope Fox or CBS goes all in on this. The mouse is going broke with the woke and it shows in the quality of their bowl coverage this past season. Lord help any SEC sucking wind towards seasons end...prep your ears for the Beth Mowins experience on ESPN3 or some shite. The camera dudes can't even follow the action properly in some cases. Guess the experienced guys were costing too much so they're hiring straight out of college for technical positions.

With what Fox is paying the Big10, they don’t have the pockets.

Let alone, the kids want to play on ESPN. Not Fox. I can’t imagine asking a kid, “would you rather play on ESPN or Fox?” and them replying Fox.

I feel like Amazon is going to come out of no where and steal the CFP rights. They've been desperately trying to break into the football market, between TNF (which is arguably a better product now) and their failed bid for Sunday Ticket.

If someone is pleading their case to get into the top 12 they shouldn’t be there anyway.

Will the Cheez-It and Chick Fil A commercials stop now?
