As a lead in game to ND
This sets the B12 up really well for ESPN and Fox. Currently with three time zones to compliment the ACC and SEC
I still think the B12 needs its own network with ESPN for tier 3, not sure if that will happen. Maybe Fox would be interested to compliment the BTN.
P12 seems like they are in a very tenuous position. Yea their rights deal is up first, but ESPN can renegotiate the B12 contract early. It make a lot more sense to me to negotiate with 16 teams at this point than 12. Cover all four time zones and become the #3 conference
Who knows
