Two interesting points: 1) Impact of the basketball provision for FOX. The fact they don't have a lot of basketball content is important (B12 and PAC-12 currently.) FS1 needs programming. I'm sure no one wants OSU to turn around more than FOX. 2) Picking games by day, not conference. Since FOX has no SEC affiliation, they are limited to B1G, B12, and PAC-12 games. Other than Texas-Oklahoma and Stanford/USC home games with ND, the B1G will call the tune.
