According to a report by Joe Flint in The Wall Street Journal, NBC will sell the game to Fox for between $45 and $55 million. Previous reports indicated that NBC was courting streamers including Netflix and Amazon’s Prime Video for a price tag of around $70 million. NBC will also receive additional regular-season inventory as part of the deal. ------- The money pinch at legacy TV networks appears to be real. Even NBC is dumping the Big Ten championship game to save a few bucks. This fits the narrative. Prioritizing must have assets and staying disciplined is the name of the game. For NBC, that means focusing on the NFL and NBA. And probably ND plus some B10 games, but not the championship game. In the end, I think Disney and Fox remain the two dominant players in college sports. The other legacy networks don’t have much money to spend, and streamers don’t seem particularly interested.
