I think that's where ESPN/Fox/CBS all cut one check for all the sports to each school and then it's divvied up based on who brings in what. So football and basketball players cget a bigger cut than the track team, lacrosse, and baseball. 

But the sports aren't all broadcast by the same entity, so that isn't what happens. Each sport negotiates its own contracts.

The conferences negotiate these, or so I thought. There will be different paperwork for each sport but they should still be going to a single pot then it gets split from there. That's how I understand it anyways.

Sort of

 

College football is done conference by conference after the College Football Alliance was shot down by the Supreme Court, so there's no blanket TV contract for college football. As a result, each conference has their own TV deals, usually for all the sports in the conference but in some cases divided up sport by sport. College football's got its own ecosystem with the College Football Playoff and bowl games each having their own TV deals. Then the NCAA Championships have Men's Basketball as one contract with CBS/Turner, then the vast majority of the rest of D-1 sports' television rights all under one contract with ESPN. However, that latter contract also includes women's basketball along with every other sport, so that's come under fire lately as the women's basketball tournament could make a lot more money going by itself than at the comparative bargain ESPN's getting as including it with the non-revenue NCAA Championships contract. With the way things are going, I could see them breaking off the NCAA Tournament rights for women's basketball and maybe some or all of baseball, softball, FCS football, men's hockey, and lacrosse (combined into men's and women's rights) tournaments into separate, independent contracts that would be up for bid while the remainder of the non-revenues stick into that blanket deal.

A bit of a mistake there.  That's going to cause issues.  

 

 

Wouldn’t be the first time a :censored:hole stadium from the NFC East had issues during the Army-Navy Game.

If you think shaming a player for not paying attention in meetings is a good idea, maybe don't read his personal musings out loud to the rest of the team:

He said he noticed that a player, who was supposed to be taking notes during a film session, was distracted and said he picked up the player's iPad and read the words on the screen, including the unspecified term.

"The unfortunate reality is that someone in my position can cause harm without ever meaning to do so," Gundy wrote in a statement posted to his Twitter account. "In that circumstance, a man of character accepts accountability. I take responsibility for this mistake. I apologize."

Gundy said that in the moment he "did not even realize" what he was reading and, as soon as he did, "I was horrified."

"I want to be very clear: the words I read aloud from that screen were not my words. What I said was not malicious; it wasn't even intentional," Gundy wrote. "Still, I am mature enough to know that the word I said was shameful and hurtful, no matter my intentions."

He either said a word that will get non-blacks punched in the face, or he made a reference to a female that involves seeing them on certain days of the week.

Or a slur referring to gay men.

So apparently he has repetitively used that one word, not just this time.

Big Ten is close to not only be on FOX, NBC AND CBS..

 

Espn is about to not broadcast Big Ten football or basketball for the 1st time in 40 years.

I wonder if that NBC deal includes extra money for Notre Dame if they move to the Big Ten.
