Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 3122295, member: 1329"] When the Big 12 deal happened in 2012, the schools kept their tier 3 rights. Texas got the big pay day with ESPN, and 5 days after the full big 12 deal was announced Oklahoma did their deal with Fox for Sooner Sports. We have an existing tier 3 deal that pays us directly (the AAC allowed us an exception to get the full money instead of splitting it with conference), just like those Big 12 people did. So Big 12 renegotiates, they give their tier 3 rights to ESPN just as the AAC did. Except the Big 12 let Oklahoma and Texas keep their deals. Meanwhile AAC is yanking ours away. [/QUOTE]
