Interesting article by ESPN's David Hale concerning the origin and evolution of the Grant of Rights. David begins with the 1984 Supreme Court ruling that each School owns their media rights, not the NCAA. He relates how there was chaos with each school trying to make individual deals with media outlets and the B1G was the first conference to create an "Assignment of Rights".
