Message: [QUOTE="Eavesdrop, post: 3978135, member: 11175"] Three things: 1) The tweet's author seems bad at math. Unless I've missed something, 14 out of 30 games will be available on a streaming only platform. One of those 14 - Baylor at Texas State - is covered under the Sun Belt Conference's deal, not the Big 12's. That's 43%. 2) Disney paid $40 million for the rights to three additional Big 12 championship games and eight of the conference's ten members' tier three inventory. The latter includes the rights to eight football games, a bunch of basketball games and virtually all Olympic sports. It was agreed that ALL this tier three stuff was going on ESPN+. Texas (Longhorn Network) and Oklahoma (Fox Sports) kept their side deals. So, I'm unsure why a Sooner cares anyway. 3) The Big 12 home games relegated to streaming the first three weeks are: Texas Southern at Baylor; Baylor at Kansas; Northern Iowa at ISU; South Dakota at Kansas; Southern Illinois at K-State; Nevada at K-State; Long Island University at WVU; Duquense at TCU; SMU at TCU; Stephen F. Austin at Texas Tech; FIU at Texas Tech; Missouri State at Oklahoma State. I can't fault Fox or Disney for not broadcasting those games on one of their traditional channels. [/QUOTE]
