Gets complicated because ACC schools have tier 3 deals too.


However, the Big12 schools have the opportunity to produce much much more tier 3 programming than ACC schools, and that includes a football game or two each season. While the crappiest ACC games are on ESPN 3, WVU can play its games on TV stations in each market.

Here's a FORBES article explaining some of that. Anyhow, the WVU deal is worth $80 million for 12 years.

I loved the last paragraph about VT and FSU wanting to shop their games on the open market. It would bring in millions each season if able to do so.

From what I gather, ACC tier three deals are primarily focused on radio broadcasts while Big12 schools include much more TV/video content.
