Indeed Bell does own CTV, however I would imagine the CBC would not be involved if they were not going to be the main carrier of the Games, as they themselves attempted to bid on 2010 and 2012 but were outbid. My guess is CBC would carry major live events and I think Bell would be primarily committing TSN and TSN2 to the games, similar to how they did for the 2006 and 2008 Games. To date there have been no details released about their bid, however.
As to the too much money part, well the IOC will take any bid over $0, so as the Games draw nearer they will undoubatably lower their price. The IOC motto is of course "Some money beats no money", or something to that effect.
