Putting numbers on the stakes:
Big 12 members will make $25-27 million per year through 2025 from their ESPN/FOX television contracts, excluding CFP/NCAA/other revenue.
AAC members, in their new tv deal with ESPN, will take home $7 million per year per member through '32. Add a few million to that per year for CFP and other earnings.
So that would mean that OU/UT brought about 30% of the value to the B12 contract which is less than the 50% some were speculating. Still, it’s easy to see why ESPN doesn’t like that number. They don’t think we are worth it and want out of it.
