The Big Ten CBS contract is for basketball.

fyi, GE no longer is majority share holder in NBC or Universal and within a few years will zero interest in the companies.
Very interesting to see them almost desperate to get the Pac-12 rights and keep Comcast/NBC out of the mix considering the national interest in a majority of Pac-12 games is pretty low. I think the Pac-12 costs itself some $$ by insisting on first pick for some games, why not let the national TV partner carry the best game? By splitting it, ESPN and FOX got the rights and saved money.
It certainly helps Jon's argument that the Big Ten will get paid when its ESPN/ABC contract comes up for renewal. Just imagine how much ESPN, FOX, Comcast will be bidding for the Big Ten games that normally lead all of college football in viewership! I doubt they will want to split that contract.
That chart does seem off. Big Ten obviously has some ESPN/ABC contract that is not included, not to mention the additional $20MM/yr FOX is paying for the Big Ten Championship Game.
