Beginning in 2026 CBS Sports should join TNT Sports as a Big 12 sublicensing partner for football, with most Big 12 CBS games starting at noon ET. There would also be games on Paramount Network and Paramount+.
Sorry Unreasonable Reaction Man (Z-Man) This proposal is up for sale by Me.
I keep forgetting SEC left CBS.
My dream someday is as long CBS have contractional obligations with Big Ten I would like to see Alabama Crimson Tide at My Michigan Wolverines Football game in Ann Arbor, MI at Big House.
This is only a dream Joseph.
My co-dream Big Ten games I would like CBS to televise are
10/11 Ohio State at Illinois
10/18 Washington at Michigan
Overall I am a fan of Big Ten 6–12-day decision for games that will be televised including CBS.
