Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5071991, member: 833"] I would not read this as all good news for the Big 12. When Fox and ESPN blew up the Pac 12, they put themselves in the position of having to save the Big 12. The Big 12 is a Frankenconference that will have a tough time garnering support from casual fans that is needed to drive ratings and subscriptions. Fox did not want to make the Big 12 into a bigger Frankenconference. Fox could have just renegotiated the Big East deal if UConn left, so it may have been neutral to Fox. Fox just likes UConn in the Big East. [/QUOTE]
