We have our own thoughts about Notre Dame and the Big Ten. Did the recent reports about the Big Ten’s emerging television arrangements change those thoughts? We’ll let you know in an upcoming post. We promise.
Meanwhile, let’s see what our friends at Fighting Irish Wire are doing in the midst of this latest flurry of media rights negotiations.
Irish Wire put together this Twitter reaction piece comprised of various national responses to the Big Ten media landscape and whether it changes the equation for Notre Dame.
Here’s a snippet from that article:
The Big Ten has to be feeling high and mighty right now. With a primary media rights deal with Fox in place, the race for the secondary deal is in place. CBS and NBC have emerged as the networks to beat. That means after this year, you can kiss Big Ten games on ESPN and ABC goodbye.
What that means for Notre Dame’s TV future is unclear. Frankly, it’s not even a pressing issue as its current deal with NBC doesn’t expire until 2025. However, that isn’t stopping people from taking to Twitter to speculate what it might mean for the program. Some believe it only will affect the times the Irish kick off at home, while others see it as a sign that full-time membership in the Big Ten is inevitable.
Do follow Irish Wire for complete coverage of Notre Dame. We’re excited about this year’s big game between USC and the Irish in Los Angeles, the first time the schools will have met in L.A. since 2018. We’re going to partner with Irish Wire in covering that game and bringing you insights about both teams in the weeks leading up to that contest.
