[QUOTE="This Ain't Chopped Liver, post: 3172307, member: 74137"] Seems that the Big 12 will need a serious over-the-air broadcast bidder(s) to get fair value from ESPN, so I assume the Big 12 may be disdvantaged to be last in line, after the PAC gets their new deals. CBS and NBC might want more content than what they are getting with the Big Ten, but may fill their plate with PAC games. Then there is only FOX left to compete with ESPN, maybe, and they may not want Tier 1 since they have that with the Big Ten. I say “only,” because I get the feeling that any option other than over-the-air TV channels or ESPN is not going to get you the dollars you want for Tier 1, and I wonder about Tier 2 and 3. And will ESPN even want any Big 12 central time Tier 1 games when they already have the SEC and ACC Tier 1 to fill that out? But they will likely want some Pacific coast night games to fill their ESPN day. Seems that CBS and NBC spending their money in the Big Ten and then possibly the PAC next is not good for the Big 12. Those two potential over-the-air TV bidders competing for the Big 12 Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 rights, might not be there now. [/QUOTE]
