Originally this was an ESPN vs Fox battle Now the Big 10 has to feed CBS, NBC, and Fox. With 20 teams. That is about 10 grames per week within the conference. I doubt ESPN is going to let SEC teams play Big 10 teams and show the game on a non ESPN network. So 10 games needing 3 marquee match ups. With less than 50% of the country. So the Notre Dame guy, is going to speak for everyone. Not the NBC person who wants to make the Big 10 the NFL of college football without Florida, Texas, Arizonia, Georgia, Virginia, and North Carolina coverage. And you don't think the SEC is going to get nervous and try to pre-empt a move by the Big 10, get itchy fingers. And decide we are taking Miami, FSU, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Virginia, UNC, NC State, and Ga Tech to local down oiur footprint from the Big 10. Isn't that what started the latest round of expansion. Texas and OK raised their hand and SEC took them to keep them from the Big 10. Think people, stop this "poor old Virginia Tech always gets screwed view of the world". Put down your Sports Illustrated from 1974 where Rich Barry said Virginia was just a bunch of poor, dumb, hill billy rednecks. That world ended decades ago. ** Edited by LocalExperts at 8/10/2022, 6:45:41 PM ** Edited by LocalExperts at 8/10/2022, 6:47:11 PM
