[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 132099784, member: 1428007"] You are making a guess as to what NBC wants to do with college football coverage going forward. NBC is not getting first or second pick of matchups, they will get third pick after Fox and CBS. There aren’t any “ heavyweight” matchups there. The BIG 12 Could compete just fine in prime time slots, they just didnt get many because when they signed their deals the B10, SEC, ACC and PAC were already under contract. OU and UT signed the same contracts and knew what they were signing but used that as an excuse to exit. Obviously NBC is ramping up their sports coverage, not rolling it back. They may want a noon game to go with college football. They may want 6 more 3:30 games for when ND is away. Peacock may need games. The Big Ten had 27 windows for all ABC/ESPN packages. 13 games to NBC and 13 games to CBS is the reporting so far. UCLA and USC add 12 games to B10 inventory I believe, maybe a couple more. But that extra amount of games is either going to Fox, the BTN or a new streaming agreement Per the reporting to date. [/QUOTE]
