I wanted to pass this along as I thought the perspective was interesting.
I'm still in the camp that thinks Flugaur has legitimate information although it's obvious he's not connected to the inner circle of any decision makers.

BTM:Boren & Bowlsby goal is too make B12 as attractive to"new media" as possible for 2024.
Other schools in B12 not in Texas faction agree

Greg Flugaur @flugempire 2h2 hours ago
The problem with Western Expansion (outside of BYU) it doesn't attract FOX for beyond 2024. B12 Presidents are aware of this...
--------------
Greg Flugaur @flugempire 2h2 hours ago
And when BTM said ESPN is having troubles covering this story...he did not mean with ethics.
It's a tough story.

Greg Flugaur @flugempire 2h2 hours ago
Investments in Streaming is being made by FOX..ESPN..and others.
But B12 content at this time is not in plans for any of these investments
--------------
Greg Flugaur @flugempire 2h2 hours ago
Big 12 knows where it sits with ESPN (outside of Texas) and this truth has rattled some writers/bloggers...
Sorry.
It is what it is...
