Auburn has signed a deal that will give FOX Sports exclusive multimedia rights and sponsorship sales right for the athletic programs, according to a release from the university on Monday.

It is reported to be a 10-year agreement that will net the Tigers roughly $120 million, according to Forbes’ Jason Belzer.

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

I wish they would 'ink' a deal with Nike.

So if it nets Auburn $120mm over 10 years, exactly how much is it worth to Fox and how is money generated for Fox? I would assume it would be worth more to Fox than to Auburn otherwise, why would they do it? I don't understand the business model associated with such an arrangement.

I will be interested to see if this deal may impact War Eagle Productions - the in house multimedia group that handles AV for internet only events. Also wondering if this would open up non-conference events in baseball/softball/Olympic sports being broadcast on one of the Fox owned regional sports networks - FSN South or Fox Sports South.

So at the half, you get to hear Stan White throw it to the studio and Clay Travis.

That's must hear radio....

Not bad for a school that hasn't had a winning conference record in either basketball or baseball since 2009.
