Re: Correct. OU games would be still be Big 12 owned

What does it mean to be shown as a "Big12 game?" If it's all going to the same place ( whoever has the Big10 contract), why does it matter who gets the credit for it? The assumption is that ESPN and Fox are going to somehow share the Big10 contract. Since the conferences sell the rights to the companies and Fox and ESPN share the Big12 football rights, does it really matter?

Because the Big 12 would still own OU's media -- Mizzoufan 02/25/2016 1:07PM

If the B12 still owns OU's media, wouldn't it still have to pay OU... -- EDGEMAN 02/25/2016 2:42PM

So if WF left, the ACC would owe them money? -- EDGEMAN 02/25/2016 08:10AM

Probably. The product (available games to be broadcast) would be improved. ** -- Freddyburg Hokie 02/25/2016 12:14PM

That's based upon what happened w/ Maryland. -- chuckd4vt 02/25/2016 02:35AM

A few points... -- ren_hoek 02/25/2016 09:41AM

Also, ACC teams were assured of a network when they signed. -- chuckd4vt 02/25/2016 10:19AM

The exit fee didn't fully hold up in court and I doubt a GOR would. -- chuckd4vt 02/25/2016 10:14AM

Wrong as usual -- ren_hoek 02/25/2016 10:39AM
