OU wants to have their 3rd Tier content bundled with Conference mates to monetize its value to its highest level $ + Exposure. But OU is not interest in bundling their 3rd Tier content in Big 12 without UT’s content included. Nothing has changed.

The other 8 were able to get away from their individual 3T rights (which the value of these rights were always overplayed) and have their content bundled to maximize their value. The other 8 will spend $ on production with ESPN+ which is not out of the norm.

The deal with ESPN+ ends that relationship.

Russo This is repurposing the one fb game each school controls. Having them on ESPN+ makes it a quasi network partner IMO. Texas (LHN) and Oklahoma (FSSW) already have own networks (de facto for OU).

This is the story. [USER=15542316]OU and UT To B1G‏ @Genetics56[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com/Genetics56/status/1116000471779508224']1h1 hour ago[/URL] Yep, that's the story on this.

OU has an obligation to keep that football game on FSSW. KU for example owns its own network and that makes it easy to move to ESPN+.

ESPN+ is not the home of Oklahoma’s 3rd Tier content.

FOX will depart from the Big 12. Otherwise they would have just signed the deal with ESPN+. 8 Big 12 schools join AAC eventually.

[USER=203810008]RedDirtSport ‏ @RedDirtSport[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com/RedDirtSport/status/1116004953066221568']1h1 hour ago[/URL] My reading of it - Its a 40 million per year deal for 5 years. So 3-4 million per school [USER=1286343007]Greg Flugaur‏ @flugempire[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com/flugempire/status/1116006762996486145']56m56 minutes ago[/URL] Yes, I just read that myself. Minus the production costs which the 8 will have to pay ESPN+. Decent deal for the other 8. But Oklahoma rejecting ESPN and keeping its relationship with FOX is the biggest story for the future coming out of all of this. [USER=4867261323]BucsHawks‏ @BucsHawk[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com/BucsHawk/status/1116016545480757254']17m17 minutes ago[/URL] If true that is a pay cut for KU. I would have to find the article but under KUs agreement with ESPN, for ESPN+ 1 FB game, 6 bball games and all non revenue was between 7-8 mil and that ESPN was absorbing almost all the production cost because they were getting so much content. [USER=1286343007]Greg Flugaur‏ @flugempire[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com/flugempire/status/1116011106416451584']41m41 minutes ago[/URL] Significance of the new Big 12 deal with ESPN+ are 2 fold. 1) The other 8 increased exposure for many of their 3T content. 2) Oklahoma rejected Disney in rolling their future 3T content with ESPN+ after current 3T deal with FSSW is finished...keeps relationship with FOX.

They had 6 bball games (2 exhibition and 4 non con) that were broadcast locally so those are now moving solely to ESPN+. Easy move. If content was being produced by Fox it's a different story. [USER=402055442]Ringneck85‏ @Ringneck85[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com/Ringneck85/status/1116012443988299781']36m36 minutes ago[/URL] Replying to [USER=1286343007]@flugempire[/USER] The OU content was being produced by Fox Sports, the other 8 schools content was being produced by ESPN or internally. I think you're reading too much into this.
