[QUOTE="redwingillini11, post: 1721622, member: 9229"] This. When any game was on the NBC / NBCSN app, it would either never work or would need to be reloaded at any commercial break. I have no confidence in Peacock as a platform either. I really, really hope we can avoid them. I imagine one network will pay more to exclusively own Tier 1 rights. But my best case scenario is that CBS and FOX share Tier 1 rights and maybe alternate the game of the week and second best game between Big Noon Kickoff and a 3:30/2:30 or primetime slot, and then the rest of the games are split between BTN, FS1, and then somewhere else like maybe ESPN. You'd have to think FOX sees the value in keeping the biggest competitor to the SEC on ESPN, especially with how strong last season went for FOX. I have no idea what CBS' priority is, but that would be a great brand to partner with for great football on tv. Imagine the CBS theme opening up on a view of Champaign. The reality probably is that if CBS or NBC gets one of the major games each week, each team will probably be facing at least one game per season on the respective streaming platform. To that I say gross, and screw BTN+. [/QUOTE]
