2024 and beyond
The television situation streamlines in 2024 with CBS picking up a full allotment of Big Ten football. The goal is to build a consistent time frame for Big Ten football with Fox at noon ET, CBS at 3:30 p.m. ET and NBC at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Big Ten also becomes an 18-school conference with newcomers USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon.
“Those three networks for the first 42 or 45 picks — depending on the length of the season — they will select which weeks that they’ll be in the No. 1 pick position or the No. 2 pick position or the No. 3 pick position,” Kenny said. “Once you get through those top three picks in the season, for each of those weeks, then it goes to FS1, Peacock and BTN entering the draft and selecting the remaining picks in each of those weeks beyond that.”
With Fox providing the funding for the Big Ten to add Washington and Oregon next year, the Fox family of networks will air more games in non-traditional windows. That means more Friday night games and late-night Saturday kickoffs. Those games will appear on either Fox, FS1 or BTN but it’s unclear where those selections will fall in the draft process.
