FOX slowly buying up college football rights

[fsquid]

This week they've inked C-USA and PAC-10, plus they will carry the BIG-10 title game. I know they lost a ton of money with the BCS deal, but it looks like they are getting into the college football mix.

Hopefully their presentation gets better for the college game with them getting more involved.

That was my biggest gripe with Fox carrying the BCS bowls. The presentation was awful.

I hate Fox. Their presentation is terrible compared to ESPN/CBS and it just didn't feel right them doing college football.

With the SEC and MNF rights, no one thought ESPN was going to outbid whomever wanted the Big-10 title game.

I have the same problem with their big Ten Network as well - the presentation is lacking in so many areas.

Will this be carried on the actual FOX network or through FSN/a new network carrying C-USA and PAC-10?

Either way, this is interesting and let's hope the presentation is a bit better.

No coincidence, FOX is the minority owner of the Big 10 network. FOX's football presentation is lacking, and I'd wish they'd just stay away from cfb.
