Doesn’t it seem like this happens every year around the start of football season? Well, that’s because it does. According to Awful Announcing, it’s not uncommon for networks and carriers to have contracts that need to be renegotiated around this time:

For Big Ten fans and MLB fans, this would be a devastating turn of events this fall, as FOX has the rights to the biggest B1G game each week and the World Series.
We’ll know by Wednesday if anything is sorted out between the 2 sides or if this dispute will carry over into Week 1.
