I think there may be some confusion on both of our parts.  In your previous post you mention multi-media rights which I always assumes means the IMG type stuff and it is my understanding that those belong to the individual institutions and not the conference.  The Big Ten article you posted talks about the media rights deal which I believe is referring to what I call the national TV contracts which had recently been negotiated for like a 6 year period (unlike the ACC which is locked into its national TV contract until 2035-36).  I refer to those types of contracts as national tv contracts just to avoid the possible confusion with "multi-media rights".

As for the B12 third-tier rights their situation is now unique (though it once was the standard prior to conference networks) since it actually combines those games they can sell off that are not part of their national TV contracts as well as their multi-media rights.  Those tier-3 rights do indeed go to each individual institution.

Hope this clears up any confusion.

Cheers,
Neil
