Outkick (free) - "Notre Dame Reportedly Leaning One Way On The Future Of The Program"

...and that way is to remain independent at $60 million/year with NBC

Good riddance. They got up to $60 with the help of B1G's new contract with NBC, which makes me feel icky. Enough of them leaching off of the B1G. This is the part where B1G and the western newbs should stop scheduling ND going forward
I must have missed something. Did the Big Ten sign with NBC?

Not yet, but it seems it will happen.

Although I don’t understand why ND and the big ten both having nbc as a broadcast partner would mean more ND B10 matchups. We didn’t schedule more sec or acc matchups because we both had ESPN as a partner. OOC games are determined at the school level. And schools will determine if it’s advantageous to schedule ND or another big name ooc team.

Nbc probably wouldn’t even get most ND @ big ten games, it would go to fox more often than not, and CBs will take half of the remainder.

The Big Ten announced new media rights agreements on Thursday morning that stand to make it the top-earning conference in college sports.

The league unveiled seven-year agreements with Fox/FS1, CBS, NBC and the Big Ten Network, which will take the Big Ten through the 2029-30 academic year. The conference also announced a deal with Peacock, the direct-to-consumer streaming platform from NBCUniversal. Peacock will exclusively stream four conference football games per year in addition to four nonconference games involving Big Ten teams.

The Athletic has confirmed that CBS and NBC are each paying around $350 million per year for their Big Ten packages, and sources said that the Big Ten’s new rights agreements are worth more than $7 billion over the seven-year term. That would make it the largest rights deal ever for a college athletic conference. Each contract is for seven years, which means the Big Ten will go to market again before the SEC’s new contract with ESPN expires in 2034.

Emphasis mine. Kevin Warren...

Whew! How big a finger of disrespect was that raised in the direction of Bristol, CN.? As for the rest of the PAC 12 - looks like you've been cut out of the money flow because I don't see the networks paying more for Washington and Oregon. Gonna make for a huge Big 8/10/12/10/8/PAC 8. Hope you like frequent flier miles.
