Seems the BTN airs the crappy games the Networks don't want

Fox owns 60% of BTN and each team is required to play 1 game on the network. Disney had ESPN / ESPN 2 / ESPN U and ABC to air games so with less options BTN is important and yes this was driven by Fox no doubt

PAC 12 is the key. They already have ACC and have a stake in ACC Network.

I think some kind of merger will happen between the two to compete with rest of power 5

Highly doubtful. Now a PAC 12 / Big 12 consolidation is possible. Note the lack of the word merger. ACC Grant of Rights continues to be an issue and no conference wants any part of that

  • Discussed how he doesn’t believe a 3rd super conference could be built from ACC, Big 12 & PAC.

Read the tea leaves folks
