As always, some great insights:

Two points: 1) If ESPN wants to lose subscribers, don't show the schools that were in the highest-rated cable program of all time or the top two of all college games this year. 2) I agree the rights will be split a la NFL. He says ESPN-Fox, I say ESPN-CBS. Yes, I know the article says CBS happy to stand pat. I think it's a smoke screen. They have more room than FOX. As I've said before give the B1G the same deal as the SEC, but for more money. Alternate the prime time and 3:30 slot, BIG in prime time up to the first November Saturday and SEC after that. ABC picks after that. I also see a streaming partner. 

If Illinois is Chewbacca, OSU is Luke Skywalker. We all know who loses at the end.
