Georgetown, St. Johns, Villanova, etc leaving the Big East expect to double their money off a new television deal

Posted by SG3 (aka whysoserious) Jan 6 '13, 06:49

Sources say that Fox, whose Fox Sports 1 channel is set to launch in August, has an initial high offer on the table of more than $500 million for a 12-year deal. Fox Sports 1 will replace the network's motorsports channel Speed, already in 81 million homes.

... I am so glad that NBC and now Fox are stepping up with their own sports networks. ESPN has gotten so bad, it's time.

They may be getting $$ but this constant shuffling is diminishing my interest in college sports. (Or maybe it's just me getting older.) -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 07:39
