The Big Ten would be the conference in the history of college sports to earn at least a $1 billion a year from a media deal.

Now, it’s time for the B1G to negotiate another massive media rights deal that will make the programs even richer.

TV money gets distributed to every team in the conference, and that results in better facilities, more resources to recruit and it enriches teams across the board.
A rising tide lifts all ships!
