The power of SoCal big market big money.

And this was in 2013

The Los Angeles Dodgers have negotiated a long-term television deal that would pay the team $7 billion to $8 billion, a move that would help cover its recent spending spree and quiet critics who scoffed at the record $2.15-billion purchase price paid by the new owner, Guggenheim Partners.

Big 10 deal is half of major league baseball with half as many teams. So a Big 10 school is equal to major league baseball team.

How long until college players are getting paid? Tick tock.

It's not going to be long. They should definitely be paid for sponsorship deals and things of that nature

That is already happening. USC WR is being paid more than an NFL second round pick now. They will have to put them on the payroll to limit movement because they have created unlimited free agency. That is the only way they can fix it.

BIG10 + SEC will leave ncaa and start paying athletes, that's 100% happening in next 5 years.

2 16 team leagues playing their version of a SB/ WS/Sweet16/ SC

 

[Bond Guy]

I don't think they are going to pay them voluntarily but it is going to be forced upon them.

Exactly, the athletes are going to get it. The SCOTUS decision basically said the only reason they didn't outright award it then was because the athletes didn't ask for it in the suit

Yes, there is another suit coming on compensation. The judges have always given the NCAA a freebie but things have changed now.

So that leave ABC/ESPN hanging. Will they sign SEC after CBS' contract expires in 2023????

Also, looks like many of us will have to get yet another streaming network (Peacock) to watch some of the Saturday night games NBC owns in this package. SMH.

Probably going to see TBS and maybe some other minor networks start to work deals with the tier 2 conferences (Big12, ACC, etc...).


Never saw a link to the article. In case someone wants to read it...

Big Ten completes $7B deal with Fox, CBS, NBC

The Big Ten has completed a new seven-year media rights agreement with Fox, CBS and NBC that is set to bring in more than $7 billion to one of the nation's most powerful athletic conferences.

Yes, ESPN has SEC starting 2024. That is why they got Texas and OU.

That makes sense now.
