Aby word on terms?

Now that that is over, when does baseball start?

ESPN has matched an offer for the Big East and we look forward to continuing our relationship

Big East commissioner Mike Aresco issues statement that Big East and ESPN will continue agreement for years to come. TV deal done.

Gawd I hate the Big East. Why did we re-sign this pile of s@#$??
I kid, but I bet he is thinking it.

Big East presidents expected to vote & approve ESPN deal as early as Monday. Extends media rights through 2020

Whatever the league is paying Aresco is far far too much.
RE: It's official: BE signs with ESPN - sierrajip - 02-23-2013 01:29 PM
Spilled milk. My only hope is that UCF plays well enough to be shown in Houston. I do not get the Brighthouse network games, and that sucks more than the contract itself. Plus, look to the bright side, it is only for six years.

Big East Conference @BigEastConf
ESPN has matched the third-party offer that the BIG EAST Conference received, and subject to BIG EAST board approval ...."
"... ESPN and the BIG EAST will continue, for years to come, their long-term relationship, which began in 1979."

Aresco receives a bonus for amount he has saved ESPN. NBE also receives a bone-us and free hemorrhoid exam.

Oh I'm sure ESPN's treatment of the Big East will completely change now. What a joke.

Time to let my Pres and AD know what I think of their inept handling of this issue. If they are part in signing this garbage then well the shoe fits.
I'll be watching grass grow or something else more interesting because I will never see USF on ESPN anyway. Best of luck to the rest of you and your schools.

With our heads this far up our butts we can do the hemorrhoid exam ourselves.

Oh I can't wait to hear Aresco try to spin this garbage. Why is he still employed? Dan Bebee wishes the B12 was this understanding of failure.

If this is a "match" then that would mean ESPN matched the exposure and promotional activity NBC promised. That means one of two things--
Either we will see much greater exposure and promotion on ESPN than in the past
Or---all the promises of exposure and massive promotion being discussed were not guaranteed in the NBC contract. In which case the NBC contract was never worth spit to begin with.

I wouldn't be surprised if your second scenario is true. It is obvious to anyone with a brain that NBC is not yet serious about entering CFB. If they were, they would have overpaid for the product to keep ESPN from matching.
