With the additions of USC and UCLA to the Large Ten, the convention believes it may get a record-breaking tv deal.
In accordance with Michael McCarthy and Amanda Christovich of Entrance Workplace Sports activities, the Large Ten was already “on observe to garner as much as $1 billion yearly in its new media rights deal” earlier than the addition of the 2 Southern California faculties.
Now, the Large Ten is concentrating on a TV deal of not less than $1.5 billion per 12 months, in response to McCarthy and Christovich.
NBC, Amazon, ESPN/ABC and CBS Sports activities are bidding to share rights with Fox, which presently owns the Large Ten rights, per McCarthy and Christovich.
It might be an enormous step up from the Large Ten’s present TV deal, which is value about $440 million per 12 months, per Entrance Workplace Sports activities.
In the meantime, the Pac-12 — sans USC and UCLA — is presently in discussions for its latest TV deal.
