Huh?That's been "the chalk" for a while now. But Big10 doesn't want an ESPN-only
... CFP contract and are working to get their meida partners and/or other partners involved a la NFL. It is a tough time for media rights value right now though, so we shall see if their tactics are successful.

But the MAC commish stuff he's trying to clear the air that no deal has been signed and isn't ratified.... Which isn't really news because even Marchand's report said things weren't "set in stone"

Dellenger is well-connected and wouldn't report what the MAC commish said whithout running it through his network of sources.

The current contract only goes for 2 more years and is with ESPN until then... the only negotiation there whether it's 6-6 or will change to 5-7.

The system now that all 10 conference commissioners plus ND AD have to have a unanimous vote to change anything is untenable going forward. If Schultz proves to be a fly in the ointment he may be dooming the G5 to have no influence going forward. I don't think that's healthy for CFB as a whole.
