What was widely reported last week is now official. The Big Ten announced a new media rights deal with Fox, CBS & NBC worth a reported $7 billion that will air its three marquee games on the broadcast networks at the 12pm, 3:30pm and 7:30pm window, respectively.

Dan Wetzel is joined as always by SI's Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger to break down what this huge contract means for the future of conference realignment, the College Football Playoff, the basketball landscape, the Pac-12, Notre Dame's independence and more.

At the end of the podcast, Dan highlights the latest battle in the Chicken Wars, where McDonalds is reportedly testing out a chicken Big Mac. Pat then recounts former CFE host Pete Thamel's wedding from last weekend in which Dan may or may not have paid off some unknowing parties in order to win a bet about Pete's dance moves. (53:35)
