[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 948226, member: 2426"] Well, did Fox negotiate without Big 10 lawyers and upset things in the conference, or did Warren on behalf of the Big 10 negotiate without Fox and upset them by giving away the championship game to NBC? Or did Warren negotiate part of the contracts by himself, and Fox other parts with no coordination? I think there is probably some truth to items in the story. It was reported last August that they had contracts. If they are still not finalized, then that reporting wasn't true. It could be that the numbers that were presented last year were not accurate. The $70million sounds like a lot, but it is only 1% of $7billion worth of contracts. Was that deduction included in the numbers presented last year, or are the contracts actually only worth $6.93billion? It actually seems to me more like they are still finalizing the contracts. There are touchy points in contract negotiations that sometimes get people irked. If it had not been reported that the Big 10 contracts were set last year, and if the current reporting said that the Big10 schools, Fox, NBC, and CBS were in the final negotiations for approximately $7 billion worth of television rights, this wouldn't be a story that anyone would notice. Other than the sensationalism, that is not really different than the reporting about this. [/QUOTE]
