[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1210914, member: 527609"] Obviously tough to conclude too much with the exact rights and dollar figures up in the air, but the fact that an ESPN bid was "non-competitive" tells you something. Also, from the day Fox and Jim Delany went on their first date with the BTN, the relationship has gotten ever closer to walking down the aisle. This might be that moment. EDIT: The deal is only for six years. That tells you something too. ESPN sees the cable paradigm as over. Fox sees it clinging to life for a few more years. Everyone knows its condition is terminal. Bad news for Cubs fans, FWIW. And if there is anything good and holy in the world, this will be the end of 11AM football in the Big Ten. :pray: [/QUOTE]
