FOX getting half of B1G media rights?

Wonder if the other half is staying with ESPN...

Fox is close to a deal to pick up half the Big Ten's media rights package. SBD Closing Bell will have all the details.

Edit: Maybe not ESPN. Sounds like they gave a lowball offer

Maybe Joe Buck will do some Hawkeye games on the Cowboys bye weeks.

Compare: FOX pays B1G $250M for 25 FB, 50 MBK. Pac-12 in '19 will get $250M total from FOX & ESPN for 45 FB & 68 MBKhttps://t.co/n8HKyZ6GtJ
