Fox Sports says it has decided not to match ESPNâs offer to air the Bowl Championship Series from 2011-14, leaving the door open for the cable network to acquire the rights.
The network released a statement Monday saying it made a âvery competitive bidâ even with âtodayâs vast economic uncertaintiesâ but that BCS officials werenât satisfied.
Fox had a four-year, $320 million deal to broadcast the BCS games from 2007-10.
ESPN is now in prime position to get the bowl games, and has previously met with BCS officials. The cable networkâs broadcast partner ABC already has the rights to the Rose Bowl.
