The Big Ten’s next round of media rights contracts will not include a deal with ESPN.
Two people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Big Ten was looking for a seven-year deal worth $380 million per year from ESPN, and the network declined.
The agreement would not have given ESPN the ability to have first choice of Big Ten games in a given week at any point.
The Big Ten’s other television contracts that will go into effect in 2023 are still being finalized, but ESPN and its parent network ABC will no longer be conference partners, the people confirmed.

Fox, which owns 61% of the Big Ten Network, will remain the primary rights holder.
