I think that is an out dated deal (again not positive)

[I]The Big 12 Conference announced Friday it has reached an agreement on a 13-year media rights deal with ABC/ESPN and Fox.[/I]
 
[I]The deal is worth $2.6 billion, an average of $200 million per year and worth $20 million per school, industry sources told ESPN.[/I]
 
[I]The package will run through the 2024-25 school year. ABC/ESPN and Fox will share the league's football inventory, while ABC/ESPN will be the exclusive provider for Big 12 men's basketball.[/I]
 
[I]ESPN spokesperson Josh Krulewitz declined comment.[/I]
 
[I]"The stability of the Big 12 Conference is cemented," Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. "We are positioned with one of the best media rights arrangements in collegiate sports, providing the conference and its members unprecedented revenue growth, and sports programming over two networks."[/I]
 
[I]The deal includes a "grant of rights" agreement, meaning if a Big 12 school leaves for another league in the next 13 years, that school's media rights, including revenue, would remain with the Big 12 and not its new conference.[/I]
 
If so, all hell may break loose in 2025-26. :)
