[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 948251, member: 2426"] I think that is probably the explanation. However, I don't think that the Big 10 would just let the contract negotiation sit waiting for four months to hire a new commissioner. They have to have admin people and law firms that have been working on it the whole time. I have never been involved in a contract negotiation worth $7 billion, but I have in contracts worth multiple millions. If someone had wanted to make a sensationalistic report of what was happening in those negotiations, they could have. Things like the NBC late games and schools that "won't" play late games in November is likely to be resolved with reducing the contract amount slightly, getting assurances that each school is limited to X number of late season late games, or most likely some combination of those two. The "lost" revenue that is being reported is around 1% of the total value of the contracts. I could rephrase the article and say: "The NBC late games are going through a negotiation to ensure quality games for NBC while also ensuring the health of the Big 10 players" and "Some issues between broadcasters are being finalized, which could have a less than 1% impact on the overall contract." That says the same thing, but doesn't sound the same way. [/QUOTE]
