[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3167786, member: 16969"] Why? Wouldn't it be good for us to have a media relationship with a network that isn't primarily invested in one of the "big 2" conferences and will always subordinate our conference's interests to theirs? As Bob Dylan said, you gotta serve somebody... My big question here is whether NBC could justify a $70M/yr deal with Notre Dame ($700M over ten years) and a contract paying 12-16 schools $40M alongside it. That's a big investment in college football--around $500M/yr. Still, that would be half of what Fox is throwing at the Big Ten for potentially a lot of content that could really boost Peacock's subscribers. As importantly, if ND stays independent, there's no chance that the playoff is a two-league closed shop. There's a lot of contingent pieces to this, but the basic outline seems good to me. It would sure make a few Pac 12 schools wonder which is the more desirable league. [/QUOTE]
