Unfortunately for your conference you can’t beat the elite southern teams

Yes. I will diligently tune in along with millions to watch Ohio State Maryland at noon followed by Penn State Indiana at 3 pm

Because the B1G makes its own decisions while the SEC and ACC do what the mouse tells them. If Sankey was Smart, he would have an exit plan to escape,

You know, the biggest difference between the SEC and Big 10 is this. The SEC makes a lot of money by being good at football. The Big 10 makes it by having more tv sets.

Is the B1G going to have part of the arrangement being that certain teams can only play a certain number of times in that prime afternoon slot? If not it will be the Ohio State network.

A brilliant commissioner doesn’t chose a patchwork of “has-been” networks over the news standard in sports broadcasting. ESPN saw something. So, answer the question - why did ESPN abandon the Big 10?

ESPN is losing subscribers and losing them fast. The B1G is not going to hitch itself to a has been cable channel that's best days are behind it. So it was the B1G who ended the relationship,
Now if anyone wants to play on a real network than they will have to join the B1G.

During their contract with the big 10? What a coincidence.
No wonder they ditched the big 10

Both the B10ish and the SECish have left the rest of college football in the dust

Oh child, the reason you are interested in sports is to see your team and conference dominate. The SEC already does that with or without the TV
Name the last five NC the Big Ten has won in football, basketball and baseball with the years.
SEC has won 5 in baseball since 2014
(Ole Miss, Miss State, Vanderbilt (2) and Florida)
SEC has won 5 in football since 2015
(Alabama (3), LSU, and Georgia)
SEC has won 5 in basketball since 1996
(Kentucky (3) and Florida (2))
I mean honestly child, the Big Ten sucks in sports and has for decades

No, it just means tOSU gets paid well to end up getting clown stomped by the SEC Champ in the playoffs.

Also, Notre Dame as a lead-in for the NBC B1G game is another master move by Warren.

NBC sees significant drop in Notre Dame football TV audience
BY AUSTIN KARP
11.30.2021
Notre Dame football lost nearly half its TV audience from last season. Viewership for the Fighting Irish’s games on NBC is down 48% from '20, averaging 2.5 million viewers. Last season, Notre Dame games on NBC averaged 4.8 million viewers. No Irish game this season drew more than 4 million viewers. NBC’s best game this season was 3.8 million for the Irish’s lone loss against Cincinnati. Also hurting Notre Dame viewership this season: a sharp drop for its USC game, which averaged just 2.9 million viewers on primetime Oct. 23.

I won't lie. The B10 is getting a better deal than we are and doing an awesome job with their media negotiations, both financially, and in brand promotion.
There is still something to be said for the power of being on a Big 4 broadcast network. Just look at the ratings nosedive that took place when ESPN took the playoffs off of ABC and switched to ESPN. There are a lot of households who don't pay for cable, and a lot of those have top recruits growing up in them.
And why did ESPN intentionally take a ratings hit by switching the playoffs to ESPN? Their long term strategy to force families to either keep cable, or eventually, sign up for a very expensive ESPN streaming plan.
Sure the SEC will have ABC, but the rest of the games will eventually be on some blend of a $20-30 a month or PPV style ESPN streaming package. ESPN will essentially extort the south into having to pay whatever they ask.
In the mean time, the Big Ten will be over the air free to anyone in the country with CBS, Fox, and NBC all promoting the conference during NFL games, top rated evening shows, etc. The casual fan who won't pay ESPN's streaming ransom, will tune us out, and tune in the B10.
No one watches Sportscenter anymore. We will get talked about more on College Gameday Saturday morning but that's about it.

This. A couple years ago everyone here was laughing at ESPN for all the cord cutting, calling them irrelevant, hating on them politically, etc. Now all of a sudden they are the greatest thing ever just because they won the bid war to get SEC games? There was much more than money at stake with the SEC's media negotiations than money and I sincerely think we hitched our long term wagon to a dying channel that will still have die-hard college football fans who can afford their future streaming service, but not the casual fans.
We essentially sold our entire conference to a Pay Per View network.

If not it will be the Ohio State network.
Fox is already the Ohio State Network, and they sure make lot's and lot's of money off that ( Fox pays the BIG10 860M for the rights to their big noon games). I got to admit that I like Fox and their broadcast team much more than ESPN gameday. BTW, ESPN offered 380M over 7 years and were turned down by Warren who accepted NBC and CBS, who each will shell out 350M.....
