Don't know the guy, assuming he is one, but wasn't his handle before King Kong like John J. Rambo or something? I assume the one (s) before that were tough guys or mythical tough creatures as well. It gives me picture of him as 5'5" and 145 lbs.
Big Ten TV deal looks like it might be FOX CBS AND NBC
- Thread starter studed
- Start date
Suit yourself. Peacock is one of my favorite streaming networks. It's cheap, looks great. Has The Office and NBC shows, Bravo Network, classic wrestling. Bring on the live sports.
Exactly and consequently that's why fox is going with NBC and CBS
It’s not necessarily quantity but quality viewers in TV land. Remember “murder she wrote” in the 80s and 90s had poor ratings but had a good time spot because the target market of that show had disposable income. Disposable income = higher priced TV Ads.
Keeping that in mind, do you think B1G grads or SEC grads have more disposable income? Do you think certain Ads that really aren’t even selling a product but trying to gain interest in selling there stock would rather reach out to a Michigan grad or a Mississippi State grad?
ESPN knows dam well they lost a gold mine. Maybe not in total viewership but one in important viewership. I’ve been studying Disney lately, I don’t think their leadership understands the game. they expect to control the market and not be effected by the Market. They are so full of themselves they think they are invincible. Lehman brothers once thought that too.
So yeah, I believe CBS loves to have a 2:30 B1G time slot. They are going to sell a lot of TV Ads

I mute the tv anytime btn is broadcasting our games which is about every game, you can only listen to a C- sportscaster so longI still remember in the early to mid 2000's when most games would only be on the radio. and most of the time my parents liked the radio broadcast more so we muted the tv, and listened to the radio.
Times have changed.
I'm curious to see how much Peacock subscription costs are going to increase once they add these live sports.
Can’t believe you missed my posts! You really should follow me like my other huge fans
curious - which of my takes do you find most ridiculous?
As a fan I care about watching a quality football team that I can be proud of. Is there any proof that the additional money in the B1G is actually helping Nebraska field a quality team? It seems like it should help but to what degree? Will it help more than our tradition with B12 schools did and our old recruiting grounds? We aren't really recruiting the B1G footprint better than we used to recruit Texas and Oklahoma.
As fans I think we should question the notion that more money for the school is always good. We don't actually see any of that money. And the university has to actually prioritize spending that money towards fielding a better team and having a better fan experience. If they've been doing that it certainly hasn't translated to wins in the B1G. I do trust Trev and hopefully things change with him in charge.
That will be interesting. I think Peacock is not really independent of NBC. I could be wrong. And since Peacock isn't independent, it won't necessarily have to pass on the cost. But they still could do that anyway. That said, Peacock could lose a lot of subscribers if they increased their subscription rates too much.
as long as I get all the games on regular tv or you tube tv..like last year
money is allways the issue, the problem is the sec, ohio state and usc types supplied money under the table for quite sometime....while Nebraska focus more on academics and charity...now that nil is here we can start a honest attempt at getting more horses on the field...and folks mentioned before will be held on federal charges by the irs, if they keep going under the table...there's a new sheriff in town, and it ain't the wimpy ncaa
Now we truly will see if money can buy titles or if the non-B1G schools that win all the championships are just better at football/basketball
Well ask yourself how happy you'd be with a Big 12 future midget-sized share? Would that make us a better team if we got less money?
What he’s saying is right
despite the avalanche of cash dumped into the B1G recently, the level of play has largely remained the same (not just for NU)
My guess is it will be pretty funny to read through this thread after all the dust settles with the actual football conferences and Disney
I do the same with F1 and YouTube TV and it seems to figure out the events and channels. But I'll probably be proved wrong after the summer break and miss qualifying or a race.
FWIW I'm OK with signing up with streaming services to get more CFB, as long as I can turn it on/off at will and the monthly charge is reasonable.
it sucks that starting in 2023, there will be a zero percent chance of GameDay coming to Lincoln ever again
I've never watched fox's competitive program, but can only assume it's full of old B1G war stories from Reggie Bush/Matt Leinart with a steady dose of butt fingering from scumbag urban meyer

Any game day they have from 2 years from now will totally be different from what we have always seen on ESPN..
Even the BTN goes to a campus every week now.. it’s just not the marquee game of the day…
nobody watches btn or fox pregame, and even fewer attend those studios when they travel
GameDay is still a very big deal, despite what the ESPN hating snowflakes will say
So you think our team would automatically be much better if we were much poorer? OK, you're entitled to whatever opinion you have. Personally I believe we have had a crappy record over the last several years because we had bad coaching and that more money did not cause the decline. That's my opinion.

the entire b1g is like an athlete after signing a mega-deal (minus the on-field accomplishments). fat, happy and off the pace.
hungry dogs run faster than full ones.
you're right. GameDay will finally become an exclusive property of the actual football conferences in 2024.
b1g fans (not me) will be watching 2nd rate pre-game prior to 2nd rate coverage.
the national marquee game will still be at 7pm on ABC. b1g's "marquee" game will have been over with for 5 hours by then (11am on FOX lol).
Could not agree more!
College GameDay is and probably always will be the gold standard.
I was at the OU game last year and they had the Fox pregame show live on campus...no one really seemed to care, I walked by it and stopped for about 10 seconds and then we just kept walking. College Gameday is just a biggr deal.
I know people love to pretend that they hate ESPN but when college football starts everyone goes to ESPN for pre and post game.
I think you might be surprised how many people do not watch ESPN unless absolutely necessary.
Well yeah, that is what I am saying.I think you might be surprised how many people do not watch ESPN unless absolutely necessary.
You watch it for the things you like, which I am guessing is college football.

Will he (Urban) even be allowed to commentate after what happened?
Sometimes I think you just flip a coin as to what you are pissed off at. LOL
Anyone else care about GameDay any longer? It's been years since I watched the hype.
I’m fine with keeping crybaby Kirk and woke boy Desmond off campus.
Lol it’s double-heads but instead of George Washington it’s the B1G logo
Great call
Will be interesting if both are at espn in ‘24 or if they just get more UGA guys like pollard/tebow
herby on NBC calling B1G Saturday night prime time would be a big time show, especially if they could pair him with a pro like Tirico
also, @keilwitzg I would not be surprised to see urb back in a studio show somewhere but he should probably lay low for a while

If this puts an end to B10 games on ESPN at 11AM with a couple slaps announcing, then I'm well on board.
SEC can have ESPN.
SEC can have ESPN.
I like pollard, would like to see Jesse Palmer get a shot.
Crazy how quickly people forget..
I mean, I would take him as a head coach, so I can’t act like I’m better than anyone.
