Fox gets-
Ohio St/Michigan
Ohio St/Penn St
Michigan St/Notre Dame
Pittsburgh/Penn St
Iowa/Northwestern

ESPN gets
Penn St/Michigan
Ohio St/Oklahoma
Penn St/Iowa
Michigan St/Northwestern
Iowa/Nebraska

ESPN also gets next 1st choice and I would assume would take Michigan/Michigan St. Fox would get Wisconsin/Nebraska.

All in all, the packages are really close.

They are relatively close---except FOX paid 100 million more for thier package than ESPN did. I do think the FOX package includes the CCG, which would explain some of the price difference.

it's only 50 million difference per year(240 vs 190). The CCG is a difference- but I'm not sure it and the Michigan/Ohio St game will wind up being worth 50 million dollars each year.

B1G Championship game and Ohio St-/Michigan are worth $$$$$$.

2016 (viewers)
16.84M - Ohio St./Michigan
9.189M - B1G CCG

2015 (viewers)
10.84M - Ohio St./Michigan
9.818M - B1G CCG

These are easily the top 2 B1G games and almost double any other game. Over the last couple of seasons, most weeks topped out at 5-6M viewers and several B1G weekends were only in the 3-4M range.
