Atleast 65m dollar mess up for the Big Ten spurns a tepid 2 page response

The Comcast Pac misadventure just churned content

1. The story just started kicking around. The Pac-12 Comcast drama has been out there a couple of months. At least it feels like a couple of months.

2. Matter of proportion. 50 million dollars to the pack is 15 20% of their annual TV revenue. 65 million to the Big 10 is around 5% depending on what the Big Town network is pulling in.

Sure but egos will be bruised. The B1G wants to actually have the BEST deal in college FB. A $65M reduction may be minor among the schools total revenue but not if it makes the SEC deal clearly superior.

$65m is less than $1m per team per year, that by itself isn't going to cause the B1G to suddenly fall behind the SEC. I've been extrapolating that, just perhaps, that top line $8.4b that we've all been throwing around might be less likely now than the $7b number that was also thrown out when the deal was signed. I think I saw various numbers in between, too, like $7.2, 7.4b, and 8b.
