[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 2452700, member: 61297"] No, this isn't how the Big 12 media contracts work. It's just one of those random things that Fox has always been the one to pick up TCU-OSU. Each member school retains one game. ESPN or FOX [I]must[/I] carry every other game. All those member-retained ("tier 3") games are non-conference games. ESPN and FOX alternate picks and have different minimums they must meet and maximums they can't exceed (e.g., FOX can't put Big 12 on primetime every week and ignore Pac/B1G as there's a per conference minimum, but they also can't put UT/OU on FOX every single week--there's a per school max). ABC/ESPN/2 have to fill a certain number of their slots with Big 12 games and then some others in their allotment can slip to ESPNU, ESPNEWS (and for UT, one in addition to the tier 3 game can go to LHN).
