Story comparing the Big Ten Network to the SEC's television contract with ESPN by Rivals. Actually somewhat favorable.

Whatever is best for Big Ten member schools and athletic programs in the long run.

Rivals.com College Football - Big Ten far from conceding TV wars with SEC

Quote:
Lastly, the Big Ten Network is a platform for all sports in the conference. The SEC's TV deals don't match that scope or range of coverage.

"A network is not right for all conferences," Big Ten Network President Mark Silverman says. "Not all conferences have the content and the appeal and the brand to launch their own network. But the Big Ten does. Our success to date is a result of how powerful the Big Ten brand and content is nationally.



"The SEC got presented a very attractive financial deal and they decided to go that route as opposed to a network, and that's the best thing for them. The Big Ten would much rather have the agreements it has now than what any other league has."



And those agreements are as good - if not better - than the SEC's.
