Good thoughts on the next half of the B1G TV package

Some take aways:

ESPN swung and missed on the first half. Both sides need each other so look for an eventual deal for comparable money.

CBS will try to keep their basketball package.

The six-year duration will put the B1G back at the bargaining table before the other Power Five conferences. It's also just before the expiration of the B12 grant of rights. 

The B1G conference championship game is not part of the Fox package. Look for that to be negotiated as a separate event.

$60M per school per year is a realistic expectation. The FOX half already equals the entire P12 package.
