The Big Ten is discussing a deal that could infuse at least $2 billion into the conference, according to a report from ESPN on Wednesday.
The agreement would involve a private capital deal for the conference and would include a 10-year extension of the league's grant of rights until 2046. The deal and rights extension have reportedly been discussed for months, and the proposed forms had different structures during that time. If consummated, it would remove teams in the conference from being involved in any proposed super leagues that have been discussed around college athletics.
