ESPN + FOX, sitting in a tree with Big 12

$2.6 BILLION.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/big-12-reaches-2-6b-142033162--spt.html;_ylt=ApszM5nh.gx4QFePSlhx.SocvrYF;_ylu=X3oDMTRvZzlnZTk1BG1pdANMSVNUUyBNaXhlZCBMaXN0IE5DQUFGIEhlYWRsaW5lcwRwa2cDMzIzNGQ5YTMtYTQ5YS0zOTllLWEzZmYtZTYzZTdlMDExM2Q3BHBvcwMyBHNlYwNNZWRpYUJMaXN0TWl4ZWRMUENBVGVtcAR2ZXIDNjcyYzY4ZjAtZjkyNy0xMWUxLWJmYzgtY2ViZjJjM2Q4MDkw;_ylg=X3oDMTFqdXByMzhlBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANuY2FhZgRwdANzZWN0aW9ucw--;_ylv=3

The deal starts this year. It covers football and men's basketball until 2024-25. There are interesting specifics to the deal listed in the Rivals article. The main Fox network will air some national games this season. The Big 12 will also maintain media rights to the games, even with teams that would happen to exit the conference during the duration of the deal.

I like that one. Hopefully more follow to help dilute the SEC love.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Where's donovan when we need him?? 8) :lol:
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
