Wonder if CBS has regrets not reupping with the SEC. Michigan vs USC was cool as hell, got great ratings but most of the games have been a snoozefest so far.

I don’t understand how Fox, CBS, and NBC are allocated games. For instance NBC has the Oregon/Ohio State game this week but I feel like if it was at Ohio State then Big Noon Probably would have had it?

I also would’ve thought that about USC/Mich but it was a 2:30 CBS game instead.

Fox traded Oregon-Ohio State game to NBC in Big Ten schedule draft

We now know that Fox traded the rights to broadcast Oregon's matchup against Ohio State in the Big Ten schedule draft.

Back in May, Fox President of Insight and Analytics Michael Mulvihill joined The Joel Klatt Show: A College Football Podcast to discuss how networks who share a conference’s TV rights pick which games will air where. And in doing so, Mulvihill not only revealed that the networks — in this instance, Fox, NBC and CBS — have a draft, but that the selection process also allows television partners to trade picks.

According to Mulvihill, such a went deal went down with regard to the 2024 schedule, as Fox — which had the top three picks as the Big Ten’s top rightsholder — traded the third selection to an unnamed network. As the executive explained, networks don’t pick individual games, but rather the dates in which they’ll get the priority selection.


After using its top two picks on Nov. 30 (Ohio State vs. Michigan) and Sept. 7 (Michigan vs. Texas), Fox opted to trade the No. 3 pick to a network we now know to be NBC in exchange for the ability to move up later in draft. As expected, the Comcast-owned network used the selection on Oct. 12, in which it will now have an impressive doubleheader of Notre Dame vs. Stanford at 3:30 p.m. ET and Oregon vs. Ohio State in primetime. Fox, meanwhile, later selected Nov. 2.
