per CBS:

The Big Ten's current television deal doesn't expire until after the 2016 season, but that doesn't mean potential suitors aren't already planning to get in on the bidding for a new contract.

"I think when the time comes, we will certainly be an active participant in next round of Big Ten rights talks," Mulvihill said. "Clearly we have a majority interest in the Big Ten Network. We have an ongoing relationship with the conference with the Big Ten Championship Game. I think the relationship between our management and Big Ten Conference management is exceptionally strong. I expect that we'll be a very active participant in those discussions."

Go Gophers!!
 

If FoxSports1 is going to be a player and compete in any way against the ESPN empire, they need live events. I wouldn't be surprised if Fox offers a ridiculous amount.
