I'm less certain of that. Fox just added Big 12 hoops starting when the current Big East deal expires.
What this contract really says is that the Big 12 with Texas and Oklahoma would have gotten a very competitive contract, although not as much as Big 10 and SEC. If Big 12 was able to grab USC and UCLA and kept Texas and Oklahoma, they would have matched the P2.Big 12 close to $2.28B media deal with ESPN, Fox
The Big 12 is near completion of a six-year media deal extension with ESPN and Fox Sports that is expected to be worth $380 million a year and will take hold starting in 2025.
@Rufus promised us that only the Big 10 and SEC were going to get paid. Big 12 looks like it is getting paid pretty well, especially after losing Oklahoma and Texas and getting BYU and three mid-major city schools.
Read the fine print. When the Big 12 and Big 10 move to their next contracts, the Big 10 basketball tourney will not be on Fox, but on Peacock, BTN, and CBS and the Big 12 championship is on ESPN. Plus, Some Big 10 basketball regular season games will be shown on Peacock and CBS. The PAC 12 currently have games on Fox, but maybe not in the future.
The Big 10 is irrelevant here. They didn't have hoops on Fox.
They are 40+ million behind those two.Big 12 close to $2.28B media deal with ESPN, Fox

They definitely are positioning themselves to be #3 in the pecking order.
The Pac-12 has better brands and flagships; the Big 12 not so much. No Pac-12 school is going to the Big 12.
What are you talking about? The Big 10 currently has 40+ men's basketball games per season on FOX/FS1.
You're right -- but where you're wrong is that they still have games in the new contract as well:
I always said the Big 10 contract for basketball games on FOX didn't change which is a net neutral for the Big East.You're right -- but where you're wrong is that they still have games in the new contract as well:
"In 2024, Southern California and UCLA are scheduled to join the Big Ten, adding the Los Angeles market to its footprint.
With ESPN out of the equation for Big Ten football after a 40-year relationship, the league is set to lock down three prominent time slots with its network partners.
Fox, which has shared the rights to the Big Ten with ESPN since 2017 and owns a majority stake in the Big Ten Network, will continue to feature noon Eastern time as its primary game of the day.
Fox and its cable network FS1 will have the rights to more than two dozen football games, at least 45 men’s basketball games and women’s basketball games."
Big Ten signs historic TV deal for college football and basketball, raking in $1 billion a year
The Big Ten has reached seven-year agreements with Fox, CBS, and NBC to share the rights to the conference's football and basketball games starting in 2023.fortune.com
So in the end it nets out to the same amount of B1G on Fox channels for basketball. Which ultimately does not affect the Big East good or bad.
The better brands in the Pac-12 won't be around at some point. The Big 12's advantage is that it has no teams that could move up to the SEC or B1G. The PAC does. The ACC does. The Big 12 doesn't have to worry about any more teams going to the SEC or B1G. That's the advantage of the Big 12 over the PAC and ACC.
