...On Friday, the Big 12 officially inked a 13-year media deal with ABC/ESPN and Fox, extending a six-year grant of rights deal to 13 that ensures the stability of the league.
Any talk of so-called security is a lot more than conjecture now. It's written in stone.
"The stability of the Big 12 Conference is cemented," Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a Friday release. "We are positioned with one of the best media rights arrangements in collegiate sports, providing the conference and its members unprecedented revenue growth, and sports programming over two networks."
The details of the deal had been previously reported, and Friday's deal came as little surprise. But now it's official and Big 12 fans can breathe easier -- especially those from schools such as Baylor, Kansas State and Iowa State, who might have been left without a seat at college football's adults table if the Big 12 had broken up.
Get comfortable, folks. Until 2024-25, this is home.
Here's a quick explanation of the grant of rights:
... if a Big 12 school leaves for another league in the next 13 years, that school's media rights, including revenue, would remain with the Big 12 and not its new conference.
In short, that cash ensures nobody's going anywhere....
Well looks like the Big 12 is now out for us and for other schools as well. I guess we need to be content on the conference we're in and just win baby just keep winning!
