Still can’t believe we couldn’t strike some sort of deal at least partial deal with CBS.

Hate we went 360 all in with Disney

As I type CBS and Fox are both airing a Big Ten basketball game.

ABC is showing Rangers v Devils Hockey.

And to add to insult CBS produces sporting events in a way that makes all events seem big time.

Didn’t like it initially. But this past year I really enjoyed only having to put one channel on all day

Screw 'em.

They low balled us for years and refused to renegotiate after expansion (ESPN did) and then went
all in the BIG contract.Pretty much blew up in their face with abysmal BIG ratings and SEC crushing it

You are right about their production though.Its the best in college sports.

CBS barely showed the SEC in basketball. Always thought the sec lacked bad in the OTA product and the new contract improved that on the football side. But basketball should have had ABC do more or have a CW contract

I do like the ABC Tripleheader in football.

Wish we could have gotten CBS to do a football Tripleheader.

But TV production quality is nowhere near CBS.
