Give them a one year with option for another, but to lock us in at a low amount for over half a decade is crazy. Go Bulls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What we're trying to do is build a solid foundation," Aresco said. Translation, we'll be on a ton of $hitty channels that no one has, but at least we'll be on tv.

Comcast raked in $20 billion last year. Gotta figure there could be some sort of changes to NBC's strategy once GE is out from ownership altogether.

But, what other options-than the Big East-do we have? Edited February 13, 2013 by Florida Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
