[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1211127, member: 7536"] Not sure how much you can read into ESPN... it is hard to decipher numbers with content up in the air...but no matter how you slice it is huge increase over contract 10 yrs ago [I]"S1 starting in the fall of '17. The deal runs six years and could cost Fox as much as $250M per year, depending on the amount of rights the Big Ten conference puts in its second package. The Fox deal essentially is half of the package of games that had been with ESPN (as part of a 10-year, $1B deal that expires next spring) and CBS (as part of a 6-year, $72M basketball-only deal that also expires next spring)."[/I] So Fox is paying 1.5 B over the next 6 years( with more content to sell)....vs ESPN paying 1 B for the last 10 (& CBS is noise on that number), so this is a big increase. So it looks to me like it could be just as likely Fox is hungry for content as ESPN is cost cutting, especially with maybe 1/2 the content still available. [/QUOTE]
