I expect the B1G will get about what everyone else gets.


With both Fox and ESPN in cost cutting mode, they don't have any incentive to outbid each other because the television ratings for the B1G are not substantially higher enough than the ACC to warrant double the cost.

Now if someone like NBC or CBS wants to throw money at it, they can. But I expect Fox to end up with most of it.

The ACC network is independent of this. ESPN is already paying the ACC for all of the content. They just need to create the distribution model to get paid more for it themselves from cable subscribers and negotiate the split with the ACC.
