  • How's that ESPN / Big Ten breakup going?

    From JGibson@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 31 11:18:51 2023
    This article, written by a reporter who graduated from IU, was the beat reporter for Penn State, and worked for the Baltimore Sun (Maryland territory) has not one mention of a Big Ten team, although it does highlight a couple games from the SEC that are
    being shown on a rival network:

    How is a network that owns ESPN a "rival network"?

    CBS owns ESPN?

    Note, I'm not talking about the ABC paragraphs, but this one:

    ESPN wasn't the only network this week revealing dates and times for marquee games, as CBS Sports on Tuesday announced its "SEC on CBS" broadcast windows. CBS will again broadcast the annual Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville, Florida, on Oct. 28. The
    final season of the SEC on CBS will debut Sept. 16 with South Carolina at defending national champion Georgia.
