This new deal is expected to range in price from $15 to $25 billion. Along with Ice Cube and LL Cool J, one of their other partners is billionaire Carolyn Rafaelian; and if they win the bid, the group will own channels such as Fox Sports San Diego, Fox Sports Arizona, Fox Sports Detroit, Fox Sports Southwest and more.
