CBS has acquired the rights to televise Southeastern Conference and Big East Conference football games for five years starting in 1996, The New York Times reported in today's editions. The Times said the deal was expected to be announced today or Wednesday.

There have published reports that CBS would pay the SEC $85 million and the Big East $55 million.
