    By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer The Big Ten’s new $7 billion media rights deal will string the conference’s top football games across three major networks each week, creating an NFL-style television schedule on Saturdays. The Big Ten announced Thursday it has reached seven-year agreements with Fox, CBS and NBC to share the … Read More The post B1G deal: Big Ten lands $7 billion, NFL-style TV contracts appeared first on Metro...

     

    This situation regarding UCLA's move could get even messier if the state government gets involved. A Fishduck Feed article from a few days ago featured State Senator Nancy Skinner. She authored the 2019 law that made California the first state to give college athletes the right to earn money from their name, image and likeness.

     

    Her concerns about the move are expressed in the article and could open a bigger can of worms relating to the UCLA move.

    Malachi Nelson, USC quarterback commit, has recently started looking at other colleges. In a just posted FishDuck Feed article, he has signed on with Klutch Sports, the agency run by LeBron James' agent, Rich Paul, according to a report from ESPN.

     

    I think this is the start of another trend for college athletes to gain big NIL deals. When one does it, others will follow. To me, this is another thing NOT to like about college sports. 

     

    How does this make you feel? Are you angry this is taking place or are you ok with it?

    Here is another more recent article from the FishDuck Feed since the Big 10 Media Deal went through. This author presents the case in a well thought out way and the likelihood of different scenarios occurring.

    This seems like huge news for the Ducks and Pac 12, no? ESPN won't have a Power 5 team in the Pacific or Mountain time zones. Doesn't this open the door for the Pac 12? ESPN will have holes in its schedule.

    Funny you ask, Drex. The following article just posted to the FishDuck Feed answers many of your questions. Now that the Big 10 Media Deal is done, this leaves the futures of the PAC-12 and Big 12 hanging in the balance. ESPN now has a chance to become somewhat of a "kingmaker" regarding these leagues.

     

    This is a good detailed article about where things stand regarding media and future realignment. The first part deals with how Big 10 expansion could open the door for additional revenue and broadcast partners. Though conference realignment has slowed, it could certainly open up in short order (more PAC-12 schools?)

     

    As you read further into the article, it gets into the particulars regarding the PAC-12. Highly recommended read.

    There are two articles from the FishDuck Feed regarding the move of UCLA to the BIG 10 today. The UC Regents met yesterday and as seen in the articles, many questions were raised and to ponder. 

     

    The Jon Wilner article is very good and offers many thoughts for pondering. You will need to click on the URL below to get to the Wilner article as I couldn't get the hyperlink to work. The LA Times article is good too, stating that "all options are on the table," and has info not in Wilner's piece.

     

    The Regents will meet again in September to discuss further. Do you think this is all for naught or will it lead to other options for UCLA?
