The latest
- Could NFL see next Saudi sportswashing controversy?
- ESPN and NBA have reportedly ‘essentially come to terms’ on deal that would keep Finals on ABC
- G/O Media sells The Onion to ‘Global Tetrahedron,’ ex-NBC reporter Ben Collins to serve as CEO
- Eli Gold on Alabama exit: ‘You can’t argue with city hall.’
Fox, on the other hand, will stand pat for now, meaning that if the Big 12 does expand in the future, Shanks and company will be on the hook for some extra cash.
So basically ESPN played it safe with a small payout now, while Fox left itself open to bigger losses down the road. It will likely be years before we know whether the gamble pays off.
