According to a report from Sports Business Daily, the price on the Big Ten brick is about to go up.
ABC and ESPN currently pay $100,000,000 a year to the Big Ten for primary rights to its football games. CBS pays $12,000,000 a year for basketball rights. Those contracts expire at the end of the 2016-17 season, however.
Fox and the Big Ten are reportedly hammering out the fine print on a six-year deal that could pay the conference as much as $250,000,000 annually for half its media rights, which means is 25 football games and 50 basketball games to be broadcast on its network and FS1.
SBD also reports ESPN, CBS, NBC and Turner to engage in bidding for the other half of the Big Ten's media rights as live sports remain one of the last holy grails in television.
And yes, if you listen closely enough you will hear Jim Delany softly chuckling as he sips a glass of sparkling cider somewhere in the distance.

Swofford aint doing shyt for the ACC

Dreams Are Colder Than Death...
Makes Dan Bebe look competent. They have that shytty ACC app on appletv but refuse to live stream games or give an option to buy team only packages. Wants a seat at the big boy table but refuses to stop catering to the basketball schools. Divisions needs realignment for better competition (either move GT or UNC for Louisville or Clemson). Needs to move the ACCCG from Charlotte and make them home games for the highest ranked team. Needs to fire every gotdamn ref in the conference in football. He's so incompetent on so many gotdamn levelsBIG 10 making moves as usual

UGA agreed to pay Ludacris $65,000 to perform prior to G-Day, and provided an interesting list of items for his room, according to a contract that was signed two days prior to the event.
Ludacris performed for about 15 minutes at Sanford Stadium last Saturday, leading off a rousing G-Day that drew at least 93,000, an SEC spring game record.
The Atlanta-based rapper reached out to UGA last Wednesday, a day after athletics director Greg McGarity went public that the school had been unable to book a pregame musical act. Ludacris’ contract was provided on Tuesday after an Open Records request.
UGA also agreed to a standard hospitality rider in the contract, which provided dinner (season grilled chicken breast, plus sides) to “at least 10 people,” or $40 per person in cash up front. It’s not clear which option UGA ultimately provided.
The contract also called on UGA to provide a dozen white towels.
“Must be clean; NO OLD TOWELS,” the contract stipulates.
Finally, there was a list of 42 items that UGA agreed to provide for Ludacris’ room. The items ranged from food (a loaf of whole grain bread) to supplies (batteries), wine (one bottle of red and one white), toiletries (a bar of soap) and a box of condoms (Trojan magnum brand).
Andy Platt, the CFO of Georgia’s athletics department, signed the agreement on UGA’s behalf.
