In this edition of the Big Me Kickoff we are talking about the recently released AP Poll and should anything really be read into that at this point or if it is just more noise to start the season? Who has the Buckeyes ranked too low and does that really matter?

One thing that was not low was the dollar figure that the Big Ten's television partners came to the table with as the B1G just signed a historic deal. While we don't know every single detail about it, we do know that FOX, NBC and CBS will all be very much in the Big Ten business starting in 2023.

And what kind of changes could be in the world of college athletics, at least in the Big Ten. With comments from both commissioner Kevin Warren and Ohio State AD Gene Smith, what could be different in the near term?

All of that and more.

The Big Ten just announced its new TV deal, which will be worth more than a billion dollars each year. That new contract will go into effect next year, and mean some massive changes for the Buckeyes, the league, and the sport of college football on the whole.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the big impacts the new deal will have.

- Why is it a big deal to have FOX, CBS, and NBC all televising games every weekend?

- What will it mean for the league to end its partnership with ABC and ESPN?

- With some Big Ten games shifting to the streaming platform Peacock, will it be harder to watch some Buckeye games?

- Why the Big Ten is doing away with divisions and what we do (and don't) know about what's next.

- A massive change coming to the way the Big Ten schedules its league games, and why it's long overdue.
