It never has been about Iowa State versus Texas Tech. It's about the big rivalry games and Texas v. Iowa State and Oklahoma v. Texas Tech.

Texas and Oklahoma bring in the bulk of the money and the Big 12 usually has a couple other ranked teams each season that also draw well enough to deliver strong numbers for ESPN and FOX.

Looks like the MWC went with Fox rather than ESPN for new media deal:

Sounds like a good deal for them. Considering what their last one was.

Still such a low per school value. The gap is so freaking huge between P5 and G5

Yep. A few million. And half of what AAC schools will be getting with their newK

Aren't both stations now owned by Disney?

No. It was the regional Foxes that were part of that deal. Not big Fox or the National Fox Sports.

I know, but still behind in total numbers. And it looks like CBS Sports is

No one watches them regardless. $ is more important for them than eyeballs.

They had to take the most money, no question.

CBSSN sucks.

Yes it does.

"incentive to keep the Broncos in the league"- like they have so many other options

The MWC really has so few options now.

They did go hard after GU. The Zags leveraged the MWC offer and then discarded

Yes, but with BYU the WCC was able to easily counter it. And I thought

IMO, his dislike of BYU caused him to make several mistakes.

LOL, hard pass

Gustav

Why on earth pay Bsu extra to keep them in the league now?

Their whole league is worth one school in the P5 on TV
