The Big East is on the cusp of announcing new media deals with Fox, NBC and TNT Sports.
The Big East is on the cusp of formally signing a new set of six-year media rights pacts as soon as this week with Fox, NBC and TNT that will begin with the 2025-26 school year , sources tell SBJ. Financial terms were still being finalized at presstime, but sources noted the conference will see a significant rights fee uptick. Fox and CBS have one more school year remaining on a 12-year, $500M deal with the Big East .
Representatives from Fox, NBC, TNT and the Big East each declined comment when reached by SBJ. The Big East’s media deal was critically important to the league’s long-term future as the college landscape continues to shift dramatically amid the potential for revenue sharing and the outsized impact football continues to have on the industry.
The framework agreement as currently constructed calls for non-Power Five schools to shoulder 35% of the nearly $2.8B owed in back pay to former college athletes over the next decade. The NCAA and Power Five will shoulder the rest of the load, despite most industry sources suggesting Power Five athletes will receive more than 90% of the almost $2.8B.
