[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1718644, member: 746137"] I would be very skeptical of getting into bed with NBC on the other hand. They've shut down NBCSN and are putting more and more of their Premier League soccer programming on Peacock, which is a paid streaming app and an unusually bad one. And I've never been particularly impressed with their Notre Dame coverage either. That billion-per-year figure strikes me as absolutely ludicrous btw, more than 3x what the SEC got over a long-long term deal. It's a little tricky because the league has to keep both Fox (co-owner of the BTN) and ESPN's beaks wet (never, ever turn your back on the worldwide leader, as the NHL learned, they can make you cease to exist in the discourse) while also wanting to court third partners. It's a complex arrangement. [/QUOTE]
