I bet he is non-tendered next week by them. They have chronic roster crunch issues. A little week-long exclusive negotiating window for a minor league deal can't hurt.
Purdue tried for him last year, and I remember there were reasons he wanted to stay where he was. Family medical reasons to stay in North Carolina... I could be misremembering.
Benetti worked 20 MLB games this past season for Fox. 18 on Saturdays, 2 on Thursdays. He also works CFB for Fox. So your Dickerson TV games will likely be Saturdays and then Thursday-Saturday once football starts up.
(In 2021 while still with ESPN, he only worked six games for them.)

Benetti guests here, plays putt putt with some golfers.
The Padres and DBacks with MLB worked out direct distribution after their Bally's went belly-up. I anticipate the same thing will happen eventually here. Not their own RSN, just licensing the games to local affiliates and producing it for streaming. I'm not really sure the ins-and-outs.

He has been on EW a few times and was hilarious.
There IS a "Scouting and Film Exchange" manual I found reference to in an old version of the Big Ten Handbook (The Sportsmanship policy is a three page chapter, Chapter 10, of that book. Coach conduct is Chapter 11).
Here is the Big Ten Football Guidelines

The sportsmanship policy does not cite specific rules on top of NCAA rules, just provides an enforcement mechanism for the Conference to act when NCAA rules are violated. Sharing among teams is not a violation of NCAA Rules (probably should be). Filming and doing what Stalions did is.
Not surprisingly after finding the three page Sportsmanship policy, the Michigan echo chamber, as most college sports or political echo chambers are, was again wrong.
