ESPN will buy rights to future Big 12 FB championship to carry on ABC or ESPN and digitally it will be carried one ESPN+.

Also, ESPN+ will carry at least one football from big 12 schools except UT and OU.

scheiss that ESPN plus

 

[Realtorfrog]

What is espn plus sounds like minus if they are excluding schools...... unless it’s a sorry channel and they are protecting their babies.

That is a sorry ass deal

40M for championship games for the next 5 years. Got hosed

 

[MAcFroggy]

So the league sold three conference championship games plus all of the tier 3 content for 8 of the schools for a total of $40M? Over the next 5 seasons that is less than $1M a year per school...

Unless it is meaning $40M a season?

It is for 3 championship games, I believe...

ESPN already owned two of the games.

 

[GoFrog Yourself]

Aside from whether this is good/bad/neutral for the conference, does this mean ESPN+ will pick up our baseball games? If so I’m happy

I see. I find it very unsettling that each SEC team gets paid 40M by CBS annually. and that is how much 3 or 5, of our single championship game is worth.

comes down to eyeballs on the screen and this version of the big 12 title game really hasn't been anything to watch until this past season.

CBS does not pay each SEC team anywhere close to 40M annually. That’s the total league payout per school from all deals. Ours is just north of 30M.

I agree. It is crazy, the difference between the valuations of the deals.

So your sample size is....two.

Isn’t espn+ a streaming channel only? If so, we have 3 upcoming championship games that will be stream only? Tell me I’m drunk?

Other sports and a few football games will be on ESPN plus. Not the championship game. That will still be at 11 am on abc or espn

Agreed. That means I have to shell out more money for ESPN? Thanks alot.

I’ll sober up first.

 

[Big Frog II]

Is it $40 million per year or total? That is the big question.
